This is probably the "sum of each companies profit" divided by "total # of
gallons of gas sold"
THEY DO NOT make 53cents on every gallon of gas sold. Crude oil is refined
into many by-products of which one happens to be gasoline. So they are
making money off of asphalt, diesel, polymers, .... Gasoline profits are
only a fraction of there income.
Not defending them, but I don't see them making 53cents pure profit on a
gallon of gasoline.
