That is why they sell everything from Absolut to candy to milk to sandwiches to water to stay in the business of selling gas.
Bu the oil companies are being subsidized by the government for the 'high cost' on drilling, pumping and transporting that oil to the refinery. Just more profit for them.

Taxes? They spend more on lobbyist to lubricate the gravy train.
