HarveyH55 wrote: The price of crude oil on the market from any country is currently around $73. About half of that becomes gasoline, while the rest goes into other products such as diesel fuel, bunker oil, asphalt, plastics, etc. A barrel of oil is 42 gallons, so the yield to produce gasoline is about 20 gallons. In other words, about $36 in materials cost goes to make 20 gallons of gasoline. In materials alone, that is about $1.80/gallon. There are, of course, costs associated with running the refinery, storing both crude oil and gasoline properly (the stuff is volatile!), as well as the costs of transporting, local storage, marketing, and of course the gasoline stations themselves It is gasoline stations that are hit hardest by taxes, while oil refineries are hit hardest by regulations. Like everything else in the trucking industry, getting it from here to there is where the biggest source of shortages (and high prices that are associated with it) come from. Since Biden cancelled pipeline contracts (illegally) and is refusing permits for drilling on federal land, it is trucks and trains that have to move the oil, a far more dangerous (and expensive) way of doing it. Aviation fuel is hit hardest by price increases, with avgas ranging upwards to $8.00 a gallon now. This is due to two factors: the requirement to use TEL, and the special fleet of trucks that can carry avgas and no other fuel, due to TEL. That, and the aviation fleet using this fuel is rather small, compared to cars. HarveyH55 wrote: As always, prices are set by price discovery. Remember these gas stations are competing against each other. Local taxes are a significant portion, but federal taxes (including the eco-taxes) are the lion's share. In some places, like the SOTC, the lion's share is local taxes (including eco-taxes). It is the reason gas prices are highest in the SOTC. The SOTC taxes alone are $0.66 for every gallon (not including the eco-taxes, permits, and other labor costs associated with the REQUIRED replacing of fuel tanks to meet some new 'safety standard'.

They don't even have to launder money much anymore, since the federal government is 'enforcing' against this sort of thing that they themselves do.

That's why facemasks are used by construction workers and industrial craftsmen, and why cloth/earloop facemasks are specifically not approved for medical purposes. OK everyone, it's time to play "Find the Major Problem." Please look at the below-attached picture. Many copies of this graphic are posted at regular distances on the walls of a major US military medical facility. Something terribly wrong is revealed in the picture. Can you spot what that is? .
