Is that like a "knot" on the head? ;)
I was about to ask how much this study cost us before I saw the Scrappleface tag. :)
Should be "note to self". I'm 0 for 2 today!
Maybe we should go back to dirigibles. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Yes, the average profit on a gallon of gas is 6 to 9 cents. But the govt, which does nothing to provide the gas and therefore incurs no cost, and actually drives up the cost with an infinity of regulations, makes a profit of up to 40 cents a gallon (whatever it is you're paying in taxes at the pump). It's the govt that's price-gouging, not the oil companies.
