Even if he does, it is only a deduction off of earnings, not a tax credit. It's not like the government is paying your business expenses.
The price of fuel is what it is, and it has been the final nail in the coffin of my 30+ year car/motorsports addiction. I have all but completely lost interest in cars as any kind of hobby or enjoyable distraction from the rest of life. The disgusting thing of course is the reasons why fuel prices have jumped so dramatically under the disastarous leadership of Bush/Cheney. It's just another wonderful "side benefit" to their completely failed foreign and domestic policies which the entire world will be effected by. Basically it is a tranference of an enourmous amount of wealth from the public everywhere to the hands of oil companies and their (large) shareholders. Don't forget the millions(?) of gallons that all of the Fire/Police/city maintanence/Muni bus and train lines/etc. everywhere in the world use and that the public pays for.
That is the true Bush/Cheney legacy: The unprecedented transfer of wealth from public to (a few) private hands. And the Chinese.
