In the state of Nevada, the State makes more on sale of a gallon of gas than the producer. If you add in the amount that the Federal Government makes on a gallon of fuel, it is very easy to see who the big winner is. Exxon nets less than .05 cents per gallon of fuel sold. It is easy to see who the big robbers are.
The profits made by government vs tobacco co. is much higher than what they make from big oil.....
