Frank, your article is about the best example I have seen for explaining the economics of gas pricing. Thanks for putting that out. My Dad ran a gas station for a few years, and he once told me that the "profit" on gas to the retailer is only a cent or two a gallon; at least it was on his level. Maybe not for the Pilot boys. It's like milk at a grocery store; a loss leader to get you in the door. I understand the petroleum products in general are getting to the scarcity point of costing more to produce them than their BTU yield, compared to other energy sources.
