"Exxon's profit was the second-highest ever by a U.S. corporation -- after its all-time record of $11.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007."

If these fucking compaies are profiting so much, why the fuck is gas sooo fucking expensive ?!?! Then again, I guess with those kinds of profits, that's why. You figure that was for the 4th quarter of last year. I can imagine what kind of profits they'll be turning in for the first quarter of this year.
You'd think that someone would step in and force them to drop the price since they're making that kind of profit, it's fucking rediculas. It's like they have a monopoly over us, they can charge us whatever they'd like because there's no competition.
I just can't wait for the day to come when we don't need gas any more and we can tell them to stick their fucking oil up their ass !!! Then again, I suppose we'll be at the mercy of whatever other form of energy is needed to power future vehicles.
