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.......
