Hi Rudi....Re the oil companies....I sent a semi-rant to a friend the other day...she thought it was a whole rant! One thing I didn't say though, was "If we think the oil companies are making so much extra money, then we'd better buy stock"....lots of stock. I don't notice anyone flooding the doors for oil shares, do you? Just take the State taxes off the price of gas, and see how much more reasonable it is....ours is 34 cents per gallon for State tax, PLUS everyone has 18.4 cents per gallon for Fed...they haven't raised that for years and years. But the States raise them every single chance they think the taxpayer isn't looking. That's 52.4 cents per gallon if you are traveling in WA State.
