34% return on your money? Again, Trump would love that kind of profit!


It's not all that unusual in some businesses. But, there seems to be a
magic
number, beyond which some people think it's excessive. Even the oil
industries profits would not be considered outrageous, if the absolute
price
(which we pay) wasn't out of hand.


But it's not at all unreasonable. We pay about *half* of what the
European countries pay per gallon. I don't like paying it, but maybe
you'd like to explain how the US price is "out of hand", especially
compared to the rest of the world?



A sentient being would understand why what you have said is completely
illogical.


So you can't back up your statement, huh? That's OK.
