No doubt, but keep in mind back in the '90s when gas was under $1.00 the oil companies were still turning a profit. A lot of the price of gas that we pay at the pump are taxes. This is going back about a month or so, but I read somewhere that in NJ if you removed the tax, the price of gas would be around $2.00.
