| Interviewer | How much does an oil company make | 0:02 |
| on a gallon of gasoline? | 0:04 | |
| - | 30 cents, 30 cents. | 0:05 |
| - | Oh, it's gotta be at least 50 cents. | 0:08 |
| - | A lot, you can bet on that. | 0:11 |
| - | 10 cents. | 0:14 |
| - | We asked people how much they thought an oil company makes | 0:15 |
| on a gallon of gasoline. | 0:18 | |
| And very few of them even came close, | 0:20 | |
| but that's not surprising. | 0:22 | |
| Many people do think oil companies | 0:24 | |
| make a lot more than they do. | 0:26 | |
| Actually in the year that ended last June, | 0:28 | |
| Texaco made only an average of about 1 1/4 cents | 0:31 | |
| per gallon for all petroleum and products sold. | 0:34 | |
| Yes only 1 1/4 cents per gallon. | 0:37 | |
| What do you think of that? | 0:41 | |
| - | I never woulda guessed that low. | 0:43 |
| - | Many people do think we make a lot more, | 0:45 |
| 20, 25 or even 30 cents a gallon, | 0:47 | |
| but it's only 1 1/4 cents. | 0:50 | |
| And most of that has to go back | 0:53 | |
| into getting you the oil and gasoline you need. | 0:54 | |
| At Texaco, we're working to keep your trust. | 0:57 |
