of course were taxed, for ever dollar we make we give away roughly 20 cents of it. then there is sales tax, on every none food item we pay anything from 6-10% on that depending on where you live.
also, prices are going to skyrocket, were buying crude oil for 96$ a barrel right now, the gas were pumping right now was probably 60-70$ a barrel.
i wish i could buy crude oil and refine it myself, you get lots of other products too, kerosene, diesel, jet fuel, gasoline, propane, etc. all for just a bit over 1$ a gallon for the stuff, dont know how much gasoline you get out of crude oil however. barrel's are 55 gallons BTW.
EDIT:
ohhh your taxed on your oil, in our state were taxed like 3 or 4 cents per gallon, isnt much but it makes several million dollars for our state
