you have more money than the top 5 US corporations paid in taxes to the US in 2010. Included in the top five, along with 3 Banks and GE was Exxon-Mobil.

EXXON-MOBIL: The oil giant uses offshore subsidiaries in the Caribbean to avoid paying taxes in the United States. Although Exxon-Mobil paid $15 billion in taxes in 2009, not a penny of those taxes went to the American Treasury. This was the same year that the company overtook Wal-Mart in the Fortune 500. Meanwhile the total compensation of Exxon-Mobil’s CEO the same year was over $29,000,000

Maybe that explains the real cost of Gasoline
