You'd have a point if the margins were significant enough to impact the economy. Simple fact of the matter is that if all the profit was taken out of gas it would still be expensive; few people would even notice the impact on their pocketbook. By your own math, even at exhorbitant pumping (20 gallons/ dollars not gallons ever 3 days) you only paid $597 over three years. Average consumption is probably half that at best, so the average person is only paying about $100/year, less than $10/month, in direct profits to Big Oil.





What things are affected by fuel costs? Almost everything you say? And in the end who pays all those affected costs? The consumer you say? And when consumers stop spending on anything but the basics or even down size their life style because money's getting tight then what?
