For those of you in the know. How does $3.00 per gallon breakdown into who gets what - oil well, refiners, distribution, retailer, etc. ?? Anyone know a reference web cite?

I've seen a couple of breakdowns. One BBL crude = 44gal. So at $70/bbl, one gallon (crude) = $1.59. State taxes seem to run 20 to 40 cents. Fed taxes = ~20 cents. Distribution and refining = 50 cents. So, 40 cents for the retail guy (probably less).

Google is your FRiend.

Try www.nacsonline.com and click on the gas price resource kit link.
I used to work for these people and their info is rock solid.
