The price separation of gas Vs the price of a barrel of oil is the highest it has ever been. Seems like some Midterm fuckery.
Grok is this true?
Yes — the gap is at or very near its widest on modern records, especially the refining margin between crude and finished gasoline/diesel. eco3min.fr
A barrel of crude is 42 gallons, but gasoline prices do not move 1:1 with oil. The relevant “separation” is the combination of:
• Refining margins (the crack spread)
• Taxes, distribution, and retail markups
• Seasonal and regulatory costs (e.g., summer-blend gasoline)
Current numbers (late September 2026)
• U.S. national average regular gasoline: about $4.48–$4.49/gallon (EIA week of Sep 21; AAA ~Sep 25). thetrading.tools
• WTI crude: roughly $92–$96/barrel (around $92.44 on Sep 25). gurufocus.com
That implies a crude cost of ~$2.20 per gallon of product. The remaining ~$2.29 per gallon is refining, taxes, transport, and retail. Crude now accounts for only about half the pump price, down from ~70% in 1980. fuelfigures.com

🤣🤣 THE AUDACITY IS ABSOLUTELY UNMATCHED!
“Excuse me, sir! How DARE you lock the door while I'm trying to steal from you?!” 😂
A woman allegedly tried to walk out of a phone repair shop without paying her $125 bill, only to discover the owner had LOCKED THE DOOR!
Apparently, she was expecting the VIP shoplifting experience. Free phone repair, complimentary exit, and absolutely NO interruptions during her getaway! 🤣
And then she called her MOM! 😭
Meanwhile, the shop owner called 911.
Imagine trying to steal a $125 repair, getting trapped inside, calling your mother to complain, and having the POLICE invited to your little shopping adventure.
Ma'am, this isn't a hostage situation. IT'S A BILL. 💀😂
