If you do not like the fact that ExxonMobil used part of its 9 cents per
gallon profit to compensate a retiring executive, patronize another
supplier of the company's products.

If you do not like the fact that government taxes account for 40 cents per
gallon, well, there's nothing you can do about that.

From where comes the 9 cents a gallon figure and the 49 cents a gallon
figure?
