Running the spell checker through you post maybe an idea.

Crude is running at $2.00 a US gallon at the moment at the well head. It's considered a hazardous product that has to be transported and refined. Everything that is refined out of the crude doesn't sell for $3.70 a gallon. Sulphur has to be extracted oxygen and hydrogen added ($$$) to make the fuel burn cleaner. The fuel has to be stored, transported again to the local terminals. Then the trucked to the local dealer, ashphalt plant, bunker oil burning power plant, airport,shipyard docks or to petrol stations. Then more costs and markup to pay for equipment and personal. Then the single largest markup of all is government tax.
That is a pretty low markup from raw to finished product compared to bread, breakfast cerial, milk, meat etc. Or the markup on clothes, shoes, furnature, vehicles etc.
How about the markup on bottled water. There is a racket if we ever saw one.
