By way of comparision, the oil companies make $.10 a gallon.

According to the industry itself, average oil company profit margins are 8.2%. So that would be a profit of almost 29 cents a gallon, not 10.

See posts 28 & 30- oil companies make profits from other areas besides fuel production. That is what accounts for overall larger profit margins than there is profit margins on that individual product.

As usual, I provided you with a source while you just arrogantly, and ignorantly, make a reply with nothing at all to back it up but your own emotion based opinion. Once again your opinion is wrong but instead of bothering to learn a single thing, you mindlessly cling to your opinion in the face of the facts
