There is no gas shortage...

FYI:

On 4-02-08 the National Avg. of gas was $3.29/gal.

The following is where your $$$ goes to (based on the above price per gal.):

.07 - .10 goes to the gas station.
.23 - .26 goes to the transportation (getting to the gas station).
.40 ----- Government taxes (.18 is Federal and .22 is State).
.24 ----- Refineries.
2.00 ---- Crude Oil Co.


Last month the National Avg of gas was: $3.17/gal.
Last year (04-02-07) it was: $2.69/gal.
