Now there you go - introducing logic and common sense into the discussion. Recall that Clinton got elected twice and the Dims have been able to distort Bush's record to such a degree that his approval ratings hover around 33%. Americans are, on average, pathetically stupid.
Less than 10% profit is "fair" in any industry. Those who can't figure that out are pretty lame.
Jolly Green you obviously know nothing about business. I must average 40% in my business just to stay afloat.
What percentage profit were they making when crude was $40 a barrel and gasoline was going for approx $1.68 per gallon?
