We are talking profits, not revenue.  What the hell?  Lets bring gas up to $4 a gallon, so you guys can make 100 billion in a quarter or whatever.

Can someone say price gauging?

They might need it for further research, but it seems fishy to me.

Then the media will gripe about something else, usually trying to relate it to recent government action.

Or maybe many years from now, they can still blame things on Bush's oil craving. They (the liberal based media) are running out of ideas.
