Crude oil was $32.81 / bbl at Cushing Ok. yesterday. That is $.78 per gallon before you touch it.(42 gal / bbl.) Don't forget TAXES ! Here in Texas that is about $.42 / bbl. That is $1.20 per gallon. But wait,you have to move it to a refinery, refine it, transport to a bulk terminal, then to a station and let the dealer make a margin. I paid $1.55 for regular today, that is about $.35 for refining and marketing. How does that compare to bottled water ? CRA....
