Jabba the Hut, laughs during a news conference in Dallas, Wednesday, May 25, 2005. Exxon Mobil Corp., the largest publicly traded oil company in the world, on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2005, said third-quarter profit surged, buoyed by higher crude-oil and natural-gas prices, even as the period's hurricanes hampered production. Revenue grew to $100.72 billion from $76.38 billion in the prior-year period.

I sure am glad they are willing to barely turn a profit to keep from squeezing us consumers.

I know they've been hurting all these years barley make 50 -75 billion.

No, Exxon-Mobil.
Chevron-Texaco, two separate companies.

Think though, if they lowered prices just to make less money, people wouldn't cut back on driving, SUV's would still be selling hot, and we'd run short of gas supplies.

It's about time domestic terrorists cut the BS, stop lighting hummers on fire and target high-profile Oil Execs for assassination.

Oops, did I just say that on a public forum?

My VGENX investment is looking pretty good right now.

Gas is down to about 2.50 up here, what's it running down there?
