It's a RIGGED system and it's CASH.
Goes to the federales who then siphon off their cut who then sell it back to you for an exhorbitant profit. Damn, why couldn't I be running the federal government (slaps forehead and says "I coulda had a V-8!"

>"Companies...... barter to the government instead of making cash royalty payments for drilling on federal lands. The government received $4.3 billion in payments last year. The oil is then resold to energy companies or put in the nation's emergency stockpile. "
