All in all, it's just the oil companies getting what they can get out of it.
It pisses me off when they report "Record Profits" since it seems so IN MY FACE that one of the reasons was me forced to pay too damn much for gas.
They sell a HUGE amount of the stuff. What bothers me (and the fact that the media won't put a # on it) is how much the government makes off it. The oil companies make about $0.05 per gallon. The government makes about $0.47 per gallon.
