Well what we have to do today in order to produce your gasoline is a whole lot more. We have to operate a lot of units to remove sulfur and other components that we didnt use to.
Also all the added on components for our emissions to the air in the refinery. SCRs, scrubbers, etc. So all this additional costs regulated by the government gets passed on to the consumer. For a US made product that is. Overseas they do what ever they want and pollution isn't a big deal.
At the same time, the companies cut our pay, reduce our benefits, and make it not nearly attractive place to work. Who wants to work in this industry and deal with a much higher cancer risks while the company reduces and tries to work at taking your health insurance? So there is definitely a whole lot of greed from these companies also. So no doubt if they can inflate product prices they are going to do that too.
