When you are getting gas at a gas station do you everything "who is getting rich from my $40 purchase of gas ever week?" You may think that the gas stations are the ones that are making money from charging you $3 a gallon but in an article call "Who gets rich off $3 gas - who doesn't" the truth is that the crude oil makes that largest part of the $3 a gallon, it makes about $2.07. According to the article that money goes to oil companies like Chevron, BP, and Marathon or national oil companies that are controlled by other countries like Mexico and Saudi Arabia. In the article there are other people that get a small amount of money from the gas and that includes the oil traders, gas stations, taxes, transportation, and refining. I think that this is wrong and maybe should not have such a depends on oil and we need to find other forms of gas that we make our cars go. I also think that we should not be giving all this money to companies that are not even in the United States and we need to focus on ways that we can bring money in the United States economy.
