A perfect example of someone who has no clue of what he is talking about. The oil companies are making more $$ because they are two companies. They are comprised of, e.g., Exxon who made XX billions and Mobile who made xx billions. The profits are greater but the number of gallons sold is greater. No matter what, they make a profit of $0.083 / gallon sold.
The government made 10 times that much in taxes not including state taxes and sales tax.
Actually.....the word is MOBIL. A "mobile" is what hangs from the ceiling and spins in the wind.
