[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 376129, member: 13"] 2000 was a LONG time ago. And no link to the article, of course. What were we paying for gasoline in 2000? Does anyone remember? Doesn't matter, Caustic, how you spin. We [b]know[/b] how much profit EXXON earned in the last quarter. it was up 10%. And we know they didn't earn a measly .01 per gallon. The article I posted said: "Exxon Mobil reported a $9.3 billion profit for the first quarter, up 10 percent, while Chevron reported $4.7 billion for the first quarter, up from $4 billion for the same period last year. [b]The segment of Exxon’s business that includes the refineries earned $1.9 billion in profits, up $641 million.[/b]" "Financial results released this week by Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. showed higher profits for the first quarter even with lower earnings from crude oil sales. [b]Both companies credited higher refinery margins for helping to make up the difference."[/b] Same link: [url=http://www.kansascity.com/194/story/86901.html]http://www.kansascity.com/194/story/86901.html[/url] How do they get higher refining margins? They either cut expenses seriously or charge more for their product. We know which they chose to do. [/QUOTE]
