Gas at the pump should be much lower than it is presently!!!
For discussion.
Historically speaking...with crude as low as it is the price at the pump should be much lower. I know there is a lag time between crude prices and when it reflects at the pump for the consumer however just a basic look back at the historical correlation shows the price at the pump is pretty high.
Any oil and gas gurus out there in GLP land care to weigh in?
It is always stated that our refinement capacity is low...however in times like these demand is so low that that should be a mute point.
Am i missing something here?

How much lower? The cost of running the gas stations these days is higher than it used to be when we had gas under a dollar.

Just looking to pay a reasonable price based on the price of oil.
When crude was last this low we were paying around .80 a gallon.

Re: Gas at the pump should be much lower than it is presently!!!
Here in Illinois

53 cents per gallon in taxes.
60 cents per gallon to refine the crude.
11 cents per gallon for transport and handling.

So if oil was free and the gas station was built for free, and the owners sold at cost and nobody was on the payroll....

The price would be $1.24

Its $1.75

I'm pretty sure the other 51 cents is paying for the gas station , employees pay and a profit margins of 5% ( 6 cents )

Ok taxes make sense. No I don’t keep up with all the gas taxes being added. Thats why i posted the thread.
Been buying gas and diesel fuel a very long time.
No need to get shitty with me.
Just looking to get some input for myself and others about why there is a historical divergence in the price of crude and gas at the pump.
