Replying to: rorr (Feb 02, 2007 2:47 pm) From the sounds of your post you seem very interested in the profit, taxes, etc., but what you failed to mention was several other factors. The tax credits, etc for example must also be in the billions if what you stated in your post is true. I kind of doubt it, but I will give you the benefit of doubt since you seem to have so much time on your hands to go through all the trouble of even posting a web site. I did not check it out and do not plan on it. I do not need to read some corporate garbage placed on an Internet library to know that every time I fill up my tank that I'm being ripped off. If it's from the market price or as I said in my post from the oil companies it doesn't really matter it's all the same, gouging on something that the American people need to use daily in their lives. Please to the person who is trying to either confuse the issue by comparing the profit of a home to the profit the oil companies made, your way off. Or quit possible you just did not give it much thought prior to posting your ramblings. Fuel is something that millions of people, businesses, etc use every day. A house is something that we all live in if we are fortunate enough to be able to afford one. The profit made from a 1-time sale of a house and the continuous every day profit that the oil companies make it like comparing apples and oranges.

I still don't understand why here in Delaware 87 is $2.07, 93 is $2.45 at BP and 87 is $2.05 and 93 is$2.38? The difference here for 87 and 93 is between $0.33-$0.45. Is it demand for 93 here is more than any parts of the country? |

| ...Sunoco regular is down two cents to $2.19. "ultra?"93 is holding steady at $2.47. | |

how hybrid ownership eases the pain of having to stop and purchase gas often. Gas is still really cheap right now. Hope it stays that way. We're "averaging" about $1.91 for 87 in W. Ga. $2.21 for 93 octane. |

Arizona I paid $2.08/gal yesterday for 87 no-lead at Gas City in Sierra Vista, AZ.

....down to $1.97/$2.07/$2.17 for 87/89/93 octane at local Texaco this a.m.

2.59/2.69/2.79 Must have been a big supply increase or demand decrease. I used 3.5 gallons last week, woo hoo. |

Replying to: johnny4016 (Feb 03, 2007 1:09 pm) What's amusing is that you were outraged when you thought that Exxon/Mobil made 39.5 million in one quarter. Do you have any clue how many corporations make over $39.5M per quarter? The profit made from a 1-time sale of a house and the continuous every day profit that the oil companies make it like comparing apples and oranges If you make an extra $100k on the sale of your home that will cost the buyer approximately $600/month extra on his mortgage payment. There is nothing one-time about this expense. And shelter is easily as much of a necessity as an automobile. So let's see, the average motorist buys about 50 gallons of gas a month. If the price is inflated by $1 he's getting "gouged" by $50/month. Compare that to the $600/month he's getting gouged by the home seller asking market price and you're correct, it really is apples and oranges. |
