No, that's all, state and federal taxes combined. Which seems clearly what you were refering to when you said, and then quoted yourself saying:

I interpret that as saying if you were being asked, you'd want them all gone, right?

And that would result in a big lowering of the price, and a big reduction in the forces that will improve the fuel efficiency of the fleet, based on prior historical experience.
