I din't pay for the fuel. Someone else did. Get a grip. Saying that the cost of an item includes costs that are passed along is not the same as actually paying it, becausxe the actual buyer has choice and leverage. If you want to get fixed on the hidden costs of something you buy, look at how much of it is taxes. I think it is about 1/2.

Someone else did? No, not really. You did. The price of the fuel was embedded in the price of your purchase. There's no convoluted logic you can use to change that fact. You bought fuel. And unless you buy nothing at all, you buy fuel.
