quote: ORIGINAL: Riptide Exxon made a 40 billion dollar profit on 400 billion in revenue at the last report. That sounds like a lot but it's only a 10% margin. If Exxon sold you gasoline at cost it would only be 10% off. That isn't the difference everyone is looking for. The main issue is rampant speculation driving up crude prices. There is room for a price increase because demand hasn't kept up with supply. Refining is coming up a little short. Geopolitical instability. But it's noowhere near enough to explain this huge crude oil price increase. It's not so much Exxon but the speculators and the major crude producers that are at fault for oil prices going so high. Wow. Finally someone who knows what the hell they're talking about. Thank you for bringing some much needed sense into this thread.

Maybe I'm not fully understanding this, but wouldn't they have not done 400 billion in revenue if they weren't charging so much for gas in the first place? For example if they jack the price up to where they are doing 500 billion in revenue wouldn't they make $50 billion in profit?

5bucks a gallon doesn't bother me.. 500 billion (or whatever) dollars sitting in the bank collecting dust does..it should be re-invested or taxed soo f'ing heavily it would be rediculous

MattCA -> RE: Fill it up! .19 Cents Per Gallon (5/9/2008 2:36:35 PM)
I ended up getting a 4 gig just in case. It was only $60 anyways.

Nice pics.

Gas here is $1.24 a litre here. It would cost about $72 to fill my Stang from empty. Good thing I live in a border town.
