<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3428190, member: 15199"]I don't think its just one. Same for all commodities. I buy gasoline at Costco, a tank for about $40. It is brought to them by a fleet tanker company ( they need a cut), who got it from a refinery wholesaler ( needs a cut) who get it from a refinery ( need to maintain their cost and profit). When you see the cost of gasoline on the pump or on financial page it is what the customer pays. I have a farmer friend ( known since high school) We were going to an electronic swap meet 140 miles away and I told him I needed to get gas ( had a high octane car then, and it was about $3.25 a gallon) and he said, pump it out of my 200 gallon tank, it only costs me $2.75 a gallon. I was shocked,. He said its quantity that's important. Same for aluminum tubing for projects, price of melons, wheat, even meat for the company barbecue. We are the end of the chain, so we pay more. Seems reasonable. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
