It's the federal gas taxes that is most of that cost. Don't blame the gas companies when the feds are taxing you to death. Learn who the problem is before just repeating the same line by the ol' typical economically ignorant stooge. Adjusted for inflation gas is actually negatively priced so there's that. How many bottles of water did you buy at the gas station this week? Or gallons of milk? It's still cheaper than those and just a wee bit harder to produce and get to your local honey bun store that also sells you gas.

And do you know how futures work? What you're paying for now at the pump was bought and sold months or years ago. It isn't just the price of oil today that CNBC shows you. There's a lag time. C'mon man, think!
