But any pipeline from Uzbekistan has to run through it.

and all those afgani's and paki's own quicki marts so i guess they benefit indirectly.

My point with the tables was to show that the refining costs and profits have remained in the $0.50-0.55 per gallon range since last year at the same time (different times of year, different mix). The primary difference from last year is a 50% increase in the price of the crude oil, and that matches the price increase for the gas. So it is not the refiners doing this and gaining huge profits, rather, it's the crude producers...

When is it that a gallon of gas costs too much?

Well, for me it's now; well past now really.

More and more I'm taking the bus.

Several months ago I gave investment advice - "Buy major oil co's stock!" ExxMo's has posted record earnings...

I should have also given the advice to buy index funds - they are tied into the whole scam as well! I hate the majors with passion and fury!

It pleases me no end to consistantly take business from them albeit small, it is still a victory for the people!
