Their profit margins recently have run in the 10-11%% range, about
average to a little below the S&P 500. It has been within that range
for at least 5 years and IIRC (always a concern) for around the last 15
or so.

What we REALLY need to do is to search out EVERY stockholder in a gas
company and deliver one single .45 ACP to the forehead.
All the retired worker ants who have a 401, or any kind of a retirement plan
that owns more then ONE share of stock.
That ought to get rid of all the greedy bastards that are taking advantage
of the citizenry.

It doesn't take a genius to figure it out, Curious George. All one has
to have is a pulse.
They have record sales. If a company sold 5 million widgets at 10
cents on the dollar one year and they sold 10 million widgets at 10
cents on the dollar the next year. Will they show a record profit the
second year?
It's time to ask yourself, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader",
Curious George?
I think not.

Perhaps because they are selling billions of gallons?
