They profited about $0.09 per gallon. Dang gougers!
Do tha Hokey Pokey and that's whad itsall about. Making money. Ya HOO for Exxon !! Ya Hoo for the IRS who collected taxes at the pump from EXXoN and again on their income... Exxon looks like a cash cow to me.
.09 cents is peanuts - I love it when I'm right.
I wish the talking heads would cite this fact every time this thing comes up. It's simply a worldwide issue of supply and demand - big oil would have to be real stupid to gouge us as that fact would get out and all hell would break loose.
It is kind of ironic how the extra tax dollars are not getting that much press and very few talking heads are saying that much about it.
I guess we are all just little people with the government just ripping us off at will - even the Republicans and that fact is really sad.
