10. It should be approx 3% of the barrel cost. Should be at $2.97 for current oil pricing.

So at $89.90 x .0033 = $2.97 a gallon for gas. We are in the formulation change period (summer gas) so the prices generally get a little higher for the change period, but holy cow, we're still paying well over $4 a gallon here in the Bay Area!
