I wouldn't get too worried about those oil companies. I can't see any big oil CEOs going hungry in the next, oh, twenty years.

Of course, the high price of this lower priced gasoline is an economy that isn't in recession, but really is.

I wouldn't get too worried about big oil either. I cut and pasted the big 5 oil companies profits the last few years.... Damn!

High gas prices may have cinched American consumers’ wallets in 2007, but they loaded the coffers of the big five oil companies: BP, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, ExxonMobil, and Shell. ExxonMobil, after record high profits in 2005 and 2006, smashed the record for highest profits ever made by a public U.S. company—previously held by Exxon—by posting a net profit of $40.6 billion in 2007.

To put these figures in perspective, Exxon’s $40.6 billion profit in 2007 is roughly equal to receiving “$30 for every person in China and $132 for every U.S. resident.” Another way of looking at it is that Exxon made $77,245 per minute in 2007—that’s more money generated per minute than 70 percent of Americans earned all year, according to the Census Bureau.

Shell also had a record breaking year. Its $31.3 billion 2007 profit set a new company record, and was 23 percent higher than its $25.4 billion profit in 2006. Analysts believe that higher crude oil prices are responsible for the company’s success. Chevron also matched its prediction of positive gains with $18.7 billion profit, primarily due to high gasoline prices at the pump. ConocoPhillips made $11.9 billion, its third best year since 2001. And its fourth quarter 2007 revenues exceeded last year’s fourth quarter by more than $1.2 billion, due partly to high energy prices. BP had a turbulent year, posting a gain of $20.8 billion in net profits. However, their fourth quarter earnings rose 22 percent from last year’s fourth quarter, mostly due to high oil and gasoline prices.

Not just big oil CEOs, just about any CEO of a big company. They are all sure to get their big pay and bonuses even though the company is in the crapper. If they jump ship before the whole collapses, they have their golden parachute to fall back on.

Okie Dokie......I'll leave a light on in the window. Who knows, it might be $1.75 / gallon by then.

And we are only paying $1.20 per litre. That works out to about $4.00 of your dollars per gallon. Sad, hey
