11.68 billion how many gallons were pumped last quater. i guess 1000’s of billions of gallons. devide that out and yay they can save us a dime on a gallon of gas and then they make 0 dollars for doing some of the hardest most needed work in the world. so now im paying 3.85 instead of 3.95 ---

Highest profits ever dont mean that they are barely making money…they could be charging less to maintain consistent profits instead of breaking profit records every quarter…but (as we all would) they’ll take what they can get… ---

And the USD lost roughly 40% of it’s value in the past 8 years. There is a reason every number that follows a $ keeps growing. The stuff will be worthless in a few more years. ![http://nyletterpress.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/usd-chart2.png](http://nyletterpress.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/usd-chart2.png) ---

As a company, why would they not want to make money? Good for them, they have a product everyone uses and keeps using, and they make a ton of money doing it. That’s the way companies are supposed to work. If you think you are paying too much for gas, STFU. ---
