I long for the days....but never again

I was killing some time yesterday afternoon, and caught an episode of "Cops"...there was one of their trademark white-trash-meth head busts right under the sign at a gas station....$1.46 per gallon.

...kinda tipped me that this episode was at least a couple of years old.

Wow, look at how the tax percentage has kept decreasing! Now that's progress!</sarc>

What the heck do they need to market for?

I long for the day when we thought fifty cents a gallon sounded absurdly high.

judging fro mthe hairstyle and ford capri i'd say that pic was 1978 or 79..thus $1.03 would hardly be considered cheap

I'm confused. According to your graphs the cost of a gallon of gas is broken down as follows:

	Feb 2006	Mar 2006
Taxes	0.46	0.46
Distribution & Marketing	0.25	0.10
Refining	0.23	0.53
Crude Oil	1.35	1.33

So, in February, the cost of refining a single gallon of gas was $0.23. One month later, the cost of refining a gallon of gas had more than doubled. Meanwhile the cost of distributing and marketing that gallon of gasoline more than halved.
