According to NBC its around 9 cents profit per dollar, not per gallon like i stated earlier. Still rather low of you think about. Not what i would have thought. I dont really care what the cause of high gas is, Just fix it so its lower damnit!

Its not that low when 146 billion gallons of gas a year is consumed in the US.

Which equates at $2.50 a gallon to $32 million into the pockets of the oil companies every year.

Thats PURE profit for the company post everything else.

Thats still alot of money.
