ExxonMobil makes 9 cents a gallon off every gallon of gas sold. The federal and state governments take most of the rest. But you won't ever hear any one suggest the government could do without that tax revenue. After all, government is viewed as above gouging the public.

In the state of NY, between the fed, state, and local gov'ts, it's over 40 cents going to the taxmen.
Who's gouging?!
