If consumers want to get upset about something, I’d recommend getting upset at how much the federal, state, and local governments are making off the sale of a gallon of gasoline. Their percentage is usually way higher than what the either the oil company refiner or the gas station owner makes off the same gallon.

I read somewhere were Exxon Mobile made about 2 cents/gallon profit in 2010, whereas the fed takes 18.4 and 24.4 cents/gallon for gas and diesel respectively, and states vary. For example, Idaho taxes fuel at 25 cents/gallon for gas and diesel.
