I was watching Fox News and the person reported that after the oil is
refined for gasoline use, the companies have a profit margin of .53 cents.

Are you sure it was not the "Crude Oil" companies that made $0.53 on
every gallon of gas? I remember seeing somewhere on one of the governement
sites about the price break down and the crude oil companies making 1/3 of
the price of gas per gallon another 1/4 to 1/3 to taxes. I dont remember
where the refined gasoline companies fit in at what cost. I will try to
find it again.
