TK I believe you are talking gasoline not oil. Earnings on barrels of oil are up dramatically for all oil companies not flat as you imply. Or do you think US oil companies are no longer pumping oil? Do the math TK. It costs the same to pump a barrel of oil today than it did yesterday. Today the price you sell a barrel for is up. I don't know why I even bother trying to reason with you. You will go with a flawed stance until people tire of it and then call it a success. We have a president who's like that. And yes it gives the appearance of price gouging when the reserves are not being utilized for their intended purpose.

AM....yeah but Laura is such a stepford wife. \:\)
