Mozilla Thunderbird throws that crap in the trash for me and I don't have to look at it.

The first candidate that talks about using the "bully pulpit" to urge Big Oil to "do its patriotic duty" and lower gas prices to end the recession will be the shoo-in come November....

Mount it to the top of McCain's 'Straight Talk Express' and I'll join you.

You know they can't stop us. We're on a mission from God.

Most of the price of gasoline is the base oil stock. The second largest part is various taxes on it. refining and transportation is the third largest part. Profits are the least part.

I don't hear any cry for government to reduce its share of the pie. I wonder why that is?

Did I read somewhere that the oil companies make less $ on gallon of gas than the .gov does with taxes?

Gramps, I dunno about the oil companies, but I do know that when I managed a gas station, our station definitely made less in profit.  Actually, our gross revenues were about 10 cents per gallon.  Out of that, we had to pay our lease, utilities, payroll, etc.  Dunno how we ever made a profit.  Oh, and at the time, taxes were about 30-35 cents per gallon (can't remember the exact figure).  This was back in the late 90's.......

The big money is in refining oil......and none of our refineries are operating at full capacity.....as well as demand for gas has actually dropped while prices have gone up.....
