Replying to The truth about GAS PRICES !!!
The bare bones truth is this...Oil companies are making a profit of about $.15/gallon, the gas station is making a profit of about $.06/gallon (they make money on red bulls and snickers) and here is the kicker, your state and federal government are making $.60/gallon (through sales and gas taxes, this is in CA, it could be higher or lower where you live).
This really sucks. I just want everyone to know where your money is going. I sure don't see better freeways and bridges from that gas tax either. GET MAD and send a letter, go protest at your capitol...but don't blame big oil companies. If the tree-hugging democraps would let them build more refineries, we would be paying a lot less at the pump. There is plenty of oil, we just can't refine it fast enough to meet up with demand.
