Hi Guys,

Read my post on my other posts to orange914. The issue in not "Big Oil" it's much more complex. Breakdown the cost of a gallon of gas & more than half the cost of a gallon of gas is for state & federal taxes. Oil company's have to go into 3rd world county's for oil production. It's political and forign govt's. get big payoff's if you want to drill for oil in their country. How do I know this. My son in upper mgt. works for a large oil service company stationed in Dubai UAE. Foreign (crooked) govt leaders demand and get the big bucks. Oil company's have to pay if they want to drill in their oil fields then pass the cost to us the comsumers. They make a small profit with the responsibilty of expensive equipment for research & development along with the high cost of production. I could go on & on with why the cost of a gallon of gas. But, hopefully you look into the cost breakdown of a gallon of gas at the pump. It's so easy to say it's hugh profits by big oil when you look into the real cost of a gallon of gas, taxes, taxes.

The answer, consume less & drive a smaller car.
