Do you honestly think that an "increase" to $0.09 on a $2.91 consumer priced good is a "tremendous increase" in profits? Would you prefer that they continue to operate with lower returns than they could get by no-risk investments?

Not necessarily, I was just asking what did they make per gallon in the past. From your answer I take it they are getting higher returns than previous years. As to your last question to me, judging by current profit margins,selling gasoline would appear to me in the current climate to pretty much be a low risk investment.
