A barrel of oil costs about US$115 on NYMEX. I do not recall how many gallons of gas can be produced from the 42-gallon barrel. The price is based on delivery to New York, not your local refinery.

Don't you read the new about billion profit of oil companies made last month. CEO and Presidents of oil companies had to answer with the congress. It was just a joke. Congress men and women have share profits with oil companies.
