Gouging?
Oil priced are hedged so they won’t jump around too much on a daily basis. The oil coming out of the ground today was sold months ago.
Take out the federal and state taxes (40 cents a gallon in my state) and the cost of stupid boutique refining and the prices of gas is very inexpensive.
Yet the public willingly, and without complaint, continues to spend more per gallon for bottled water, or flavored sugar water, than for gasoline. It’s a strange world we live in.
