Interesting info. Worth breaking out the basic cost of a gallon of gas( Including the different grades ) from the taxes, charges, etc. that make up the total cost? Never seem to hear that in the "standard media". Don't want to make a big, expensive project for you, but I think readers would enjoy seeing who gets their gas $$$ to include the Government entities, which in California suck up a lot of the $$$ in taxes. (Probably legitimate considering the vehicle associated costs in highway upkeep, etc. that are obvious when you live here.)
