Well they are in buisness to make money
You have to look at the taxes on gas as well
I live in Illinois every gallon of gas 58 cents per gallon Illinois state tax
If you are in Chicago add another 13 cents per gallon
then there is the Federal Gas tax about 18 cents per gallon
So for every gallon of gas I buy I get taxes 76 cents per gallon and up to 89 cents per gallon. Notice you don't see how much tax you are paying at the pump.
So its not just the oil company's, it's our government as well

Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a **** how crazy they are!
