That would include all taxes paid, I believe. Fees would come out of operating costs.

I wasn’t disagreeing with your numbers. I was just mentioning that government costs imposed on the energy industry and included in energy prices go beyond just taxes. If you look at the total Federal, state and local taxes and the costs of regulatory and environmental compliance they are way higher than the oil company profits.
