Not much, you are paying for massive transmission and distribution infrastructure to enable you to get your $9 of gas, or $100 of gas, whichever one. It’s one of the few businesses in the world where you see this broken down for you. If you buy a $50,000 car how much raw materials is actually in that car? Couple grand maybe, heck maybe it’s even $10k. Why does the car cost that much. The factories, the transportation, the selling costs, etc, etc, and yes profit on top of that.
