oil price spill

wanna cut up that pump price

into who gets what??

try this article from the washpost:


============================================


"When the average price 
of a gallon of regular gasoline
 peaked at $3.07 recently
 it was partly because 
the nation's refineries 
were getting an estimated 
  dollar 
on each gallon sold"

 "That was more than 
three times
 the amount they earned 
a year ago 
when regular unleaded 
was selling for 
  $1.87"

"The companies that pump oil
 from the ground 
swept in an additional
 47 cents
 on each gallon
 a 46 percent jump 
over the same period"

   
 "If motorists are the big losers 
the companies that produce the oil 
and turn it into gasoline 
are the clear winners."

--------------------------------

so 
 here's the tab 

cut three ways :

 at a pump price 
     of  $ 3

refiner      $ 1.00

crude producer $ 1.50 

every body else 
plus taxes    $ .50


-------------------------------------
 crude 
 $ 1.50 a gallon 
            

so whats cost ????


"For  Exxon
domestic
  production runs 
at a break even price 
      below 
   $ 20 per  bar "

 lets say 
  about $ .50 a gallon 


now you lose about 
a third of a gallon in refining 

so thats 
  requires an upperation
if the pumper gets 
                $ 1.50 
            per rined gallon

he's getting ~ $ 1.05- $ 1.10
per crude gallon 

100% mark up

 nice ......


-------------------------------------

how 'bout the gas station guyz 


"don't fuckin blame uz "


  A)
"  branded  station  owners
  pay a non-negotiable price 
for their  gasoline "

AND

B)

"the  last three  years  
despite large  jumps 
         in pump prices
the dealers own  mark up 
over cost of goods 
  have held steady
at  
      17 or 18 cents per gallon  "
-----------------------------------------

 then there's gubmint 
        unit priced taxes 
 
           also obviously unchanged
