<\/a> RUSH: Jerry in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. Pleasure, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thanks for the call, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Longtime listener.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: A couple questions for you. Why don\u2019t the oil companies publish a breakdown of how much a gallon of oil is to buy, produce, refine, and transport and everything else?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I think they do. I\u2019m not sure the oil companies do, but a number of oil company lobbying groups, oil interest groups do. They\u2019re all over the Internet, and over the course of the — I haven\u2019t done it recently but I\u2019ve gone through what comes out of a barrel of oil, who gets what for it, how much diesel comes out of it, how much gasoline, depending on the year, how much home heating oil, how much jet fuel, and there\u2019s two kinds of jet fuel. Well, there\u2019s more than two, but the two primary are Jet A and JP-4. And JP-4 is for military. It\u2019s a combination of Jet A, which is kerosene and gasoline. Those engines need to run very hot. A commercial airplane could not run on J-P4. So every barrel of oil gets refined in a whole lot of different ways. Then there are charts and graphs on how much profit per gallon of gasoline, per gallon of jet fuel that the oil companies get versus the people who sell it, all combined with the amount of taxation. It\u2019s out there on a number of websites. In fact, I will instruct Koko, the website master, to get one of those sites. They\u2019re easy to find and we\u2019ll link to one at RushLimbaugh.com this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
