Last I heard, the government cut is about 87 cents a gallon.

If you really want to see where the price is being driven up from, go to the source. Yes, the big oil companies get their cut of course, but for some reason everyone is ignoring the fact that OPEC has been jacking up the price for the past two years fairly steadily.

China ain't helping matters any either.
