Baloney. If you look up the taxes on google, you will see that the state, local and federal taxes on that gallon of gas are far higher than the “profit” the company is making. Some gas stations in Arizona have been putting all the tax amounts on the pumps to show people where the money is going.

My understanding is that gasoline producers make an average profit of 6-9 cents per gallon. The government, which does absolutely nothing to provide us with gasoline, makes approximately 45-50 cents profit per gallon. Who is it who’s greedy?
