Of course gas and diesel is only a portion of where the oil goes.
Maybe you can stop buying products made out of plastic and fill your

I assume you now have invested heavily in Exxon. If you don't live it, you
don't believe it.

That 7.8 was for the last quater, not the whole year. Last year their profit
was 25 billion and this year will most likely be in excess of 30 billion.
Here in the US we could be happy with the price compared to Europe.
Venezuela has gas for 12 cents a gallon. wow.....happy socialists
wow again,,,12 cents a gallon..Exxon should pull their supr tankers up to
the pump. Then we could have real cheep gas again. wow again 12 cents a
gallon

Most Venezuelans live in shanty towns in extreme poverty and can't
