Folks who want to hit exxon, just dont understand business. Exxons margins are no differnt than always. 8% profit on a gross bigger number leads to a larger net number. They do not set prices and live in a commodity world where prices are volatile. We should also have an excess profit tax on gasoline stations. Their margins are actually down and they have to pay COD for fuel. Some have closed because they dont have enough cash for $4 gas up from $3. But who cares, they look funny and are not real americans like Tejek.
