... the federal and states get close to .50 per gallon for doing absolutely nothing to get that gas to you. Sorry for steering away from that thread title, I just had to rant.
As I am sitting in the hotel right now the wholesale price of gas is...$3.02 (CNBC ticker). Look at your local gas station and figure out how much the feds and your locals are collecting in taxes. A quick look out the window shows here it is about 54 cents. Be careful who you think is getting the windfall from high gas prices.
If the 27 cent number is right that is about a 9% profit. Not really all that much. Check out the profit for Disney I believe about 30%. Who again is taking advantage of people?
