<p>[quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]I am tired of people saying that CA and their regulations are not burdensome.[/quote]</p> <p>Who said, CA's are not burdensome? Envorinmental protection doesn't come at no cost. As all trucking companies workink in CA. have to carry the same costs, I don't see your problem. Yes there are higher cost but usually they are forwarded to the client. In the end the end-comsumer pays.I could understand end-consumer complaint but the trucking industry?</p> <p>It more difficult here as we have a lot of trucks from foreign country on our roads which can refuel cheaply in their home country.</p> <p>[quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]When the government thinks they can rule over everything that you do as a business your no longer in a capitalist nation or state your in a socialist state or nation. [/quote]</p> <p>I didn't realize that the economic systems of our countries are so different. Here in Germany the government sets general framework in which industries act. Otherwise the industries would rule our country without any boundaries. Peoples health/environment are part of the framework.</p> <p>The German government wanted to implement sulfur free diesel as fast as possible. So they deducted the tax that the price stayes the same tough the production costs are higher. That were 10ct per gallon. Here we are lucky that we have to import our crude. We can buy low sulfur crude.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
