True enough. I was just trying to respond using Dan's original premise. He stated that the government spent $3 billion in taxpayer money to save only $350 million, implying some sort of payback calculation. Firstly, he did not point out that this was an ANNUAL savings. Secondly, he didn't calculate the savings correctly. I've edited my post to add a link to the source of my crude-to-gasoline conversion, for everyone's reference.
