How come gas is still more expensive than it is supposed to be ?

There are 42 gallons in each barrel (bbl) of crude, so a crude oil price of $84/bbl means that the raw feedstock costs the refiner about $2/gal. Break-even processing costs to turn the crude oil into gasoline are typically $4/bbl to $5/bbl, so an $84/bbl crude price suggests a minimum wholesale cost at the refinery of about $2.10-$2.12/gal.
