I would like to know how many gallons of gas are sold in America in a year.

in Aug 2005, 397,068,000 gallons per day. That is only gasoline. Total refined product 804,972,000 gallons per day.

So the feds are making about $24 Billion a year on gas alone. Not counting diesel. And that is just at the pump. Not including the many levels of taxation that have on refineries and refined products long before it ever gets to the pump.
