It’s still only an 8% profit margin...

Congratulations, Exxon.
The company was able to make a profit in spite of spiraling labor costs, oppressive federal, state and local regulations and taxing.

Good. I happen to like Exxon-Mobil, and I wish they’d put more gas stations here instead of these podunk local company that seems to have somewhat of a monopoly along with the el cheapo looking Kangaroo.

How much did the Federal Government rake in with gas tax?

The only thing I hate about exxon is this: in my area all the municipalities use exxon accounts. when gas goes up they are 10-15 cents higher than everyone else (even across the street) for a few days cuz they know the munis need to fill police cars etc. Then they drop it to everyone else's level.
That being said their gas is better than everyone elses.

11.68/138=8.46% profit margin
Anyone who complains about this “windfall profit” should be willing to accept less of a return on their 401K.

Let’s see now. Politicians want them to drill off-shore so they can reduce prices? LOL

Is 11.68 billion enough to purchase enough foreign crude oil to get us through the next quarter?

*yawn*
How much is going to the government for doing nothing?
Oil lease payments, royalties and taxes at all levels?
$22 billion?
$30?
$40?
