"State and local gas tax collections exceed oil industry profits by a large margin, according to a Tax Foundation study released last week. Since 1977, consumers have paid $1.34 trillion in gas taxes - more than twice the profits of all major U.S. oil companies combined during that same period. Last year, state and federal gas taxes took in $58.4 billion. Major U.S. oil company profits last year totaled $42.6 billion."

Excluding a gain of $1.62 billion from restructuring its stake in a Dutch gas transportation business, earnings were $1.32 per share. On that basis, analysts' average forecast was $1.39, according to Reuters Estimates. They missed the analysts estimate so this is a bad thing. They were expected to make even more money.

THE Recently wed Mr. Exxon and former Ms.Mobil speak up---
The happy couple are proud to announce that their combined income has reached record heights and is the talk of the town.
Prior to their marriage both were considered only "above average income" folks.
Neighbors have been heard to say -- "This isn't fair" and urged they be forcibly divorced so each can return to their earlier , less remarkable status.
