Where gas dollar goes
United Press International reports an informal survey showing that a dollar paid for gasoline is divided with about 49 cents to Arab producing countries, 16 cents for refining, storage and transport, 4 cents profit for refineries, 13 cents for local station costs and profit, and the remaining amount as federal, state and local taxes. Tax components include a 4 cent federal tax and 5 to 16 cents varying by state and locality. Figures are typical industry wide and not tied to any single company.
