At four bucks per gallon, the oil companies get 3.50 dollars and the government gets 0.50 dollars. The oil companies have to pay for the upkeep of oil refineries, so they make probably around three dollars profit for each gallon sold. In Europe the oil companies only make a dollar per gallon, it's taxed super heavily.
