Show .Vernal Express Dollars roll up much faster than gallons on gas station display A12 Wednesday, August 9, 2006 Remember when the numbers num-bers that show the gallons of gasoline ran up quickly, and the dollar amount moved more slowly? Although that has long been a memory of the past, most drivers are still amazed at the speed of the numbers which represent the dollars that it will take to fill the gas tank. All drivers have their own take on where those dollars dol-lars go when they are paid. Information is available from different sources; most of the figures shown here are from Gibson Consulting. April 2006 is the latest breakdown break-down of expenses representing each entity's cost and profits: Production costs $.33, profit $.95, for a total of $1.28 for the producer. Refining costs $.40, profit $.10, total $.50. Transportation costs $.12, profit $.09, total $.21. Marketing costs $.04, profit $.04, total $.08. Average Retailer costs $.08, profit $.08, total $.16. Federal taxes $.19. Utah State tax $.245. Local Tax (Vernal) $.00. These add up to a total of Jones Waldo's Plaintiff Personal ; Injury and Medical Malpractice ' Group has many years of combined : legal experience representing : those injured by the negligence of : individuals, corporations and the : medical profession.

However, ' the Gibson Consulting web site goes on to say that "Compared to 1981, inflation adjusted-prices today are 27 cents cheaper than the $3.11 all-time high (inflation-adjusted) gasoline cost in March 1981." The average retailer cost and profit listed varies with each delivery, but local station owners own-ers believe the amount to be in the ballpark, although it is a little low on their cost and high on their profit side. Although the retailers contacted were not able to release the amounts of their share, it is obvious that the retailer gets the short end of the dip stick. Credits for the data go to Dick Gibson, who has a new book coming out, entitled "What Things Are Made Of: The secret geology behind everyday man-made objects." It should be enlightening as Americans are reminded that the best way to level out the sky-rocketing need for oil products is for each person per-son to conserve, conserve, conserve.
