Some states tax other taxes on a percentage, like mine. The libs love this stuff, their coffers get stuffed with extorted revenue and then blame the higher prices on the President.

For those who feel entitled to cheap gas, and that it's government's job to help them win some gas-dependent rat-race that they chose on their own.

The cost of replacing "bad" MTBE with "good" ethanol... MTBE should never have been forced upon the gas companies. It was a horrible idea from several different points of view.

I'm retired and use very little gasoline. I fill up during normal prices about once every 3 months. With the higher prices, I add just a few gallons of gas every month or so, just to silently protest. I'd do the same for milk or any other product I don't need daily if justified. I don't suggest that those who drive a lot do the same, but those that don't could help by not filling up each time and that should help everyone.

Out of 42 gallons (1 bbl), lubricating motor oil yields 0.46 gallon. Recycling of motor oil and transmission fluid is now widespred. Even at $1.00 a quart, a barrel of oil would be worth around $180.00 retail if it was all dedicated to motor oil.

One factor is that motor oil is a "loss leader" for auto parts stores. It's always cheap in the sale ad to get people in the store.

The federal requirement that RFG gasoline must contain
oxygen, ends on May 6 of this year.
MTBE or ethanol, no longer needed.

I ran your question through the Redneck Dialectizer and it comes out better worded, I believe:
How come, whuffo' is it, thet a quart of ingine oil hardly goes up at all ?
