No profiteering here, no siree...

staggering statistics... obscene profits... and right in line with the highest values and principles of bushco...
When the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline peaked at $3.07 recently, it was partly because the nation's refineries were getting an estimated 99 cents on each gallon sold. That was more than three times the amount they earned a year ago when regular unleaded was selling for $1.87.

The companies that pump oil from the ground swept in an additional 47 cents on each gallon, a 46 percent jump over the same period.

and we're payin' it with no alternative energy strategy in sight... in fact, one of the items on the chopping block to pay for katrina is the hydrogen fuel initiative recently passed in the energy bill... ya gotta hand it to bushco... they don't align themselves with the nickel and dime players... they stick with the high rollers...
