Diesel in the Milwaukee area just hit $4.13 per gallon. I read an interesting article that broke down the cost of a gallon of gasoline when it cost $3 per gallon. There was a profit of $1 per gallon, the rest was for refining, shipping, marketing etc. Corporate greed. What would happen if people started burning down gas stations in protest of this greed? Take away the ability to market your product. Right now the US has the largest petroleum reserves it has had in the past 15 years, so why the high prices?
