I'm confused. According to your graphs the cost of a gallon of gas is broken down as follows:

Feb 2006 Mar 2006
Taxes 0.46 0.46
Distribution & Marketing 0.25 0.10
Refining 0.23 0.53
Crude Oil 1.35 1.33

So, in February, the cost of refining a single gallon of gas was $0.23. One month later, the cost of refining a gallon of gas had more than doubled. Meanwhile the cost of distributing and marketing that gallon of gasoline more than halved.

These graphs were taken from different places (you can right click on them to see where) so that might be a reason for the difference. Or it might explain a lot about why we are seeing what we are now.

I question it too.
