going on strike or not buying fuel will not do anything.

Oil companies do not make fuel they sell it to the refineries which sell it to a wholesale supplier which sell it to a gas station which sell it to us.

Everytime it is sold someone makes a profit and the goverment gets there tax from them over 50% of the price of fuel goes to the govt.

It is all done on percentages so if the price of a barrell of oil goes up by $1 the oil company is going to make a certian profit (most cooompanies use 30%)they will raise there price $1.30 when they sell to the refineries, now the refinery will have to sell that barrell to a supplier for $1.69 and the supplier will have to sell that barrell for $ 2.97

Each company or person that the barrell of oil transfers through will add there 30% profit to the cost of the material, that is why the cost goes up so fast.

So the govt is the one who profits the most from a barrell of oil.

The only way we can change this is through a PAC political action committee which I think OOIDA is. we should all join them and help them get in bed with the politicians and show them we are united and are willing to vote accordingly to who is will help us.

Just like farmers have done and get subsidised when crops fail and they get paid not to grow certian crops, also seniors have formed a pac called the aarp, progun people have the nra.

What a PAC can acomplish is have taxes removed from diesel. Or fuel rebates.

Every industry has a PAC, This is the only way.
