I have to drive a pickup for work, and it hurts to fill it up. Exxon made $10.9 Billion in the first quarter of this year, but it was on $116 Billion in income. That comes out to 9.3% profit, and that's not excessive by any reasonable standard. Everyone's looking for someone to blame, but blaming Exxon, or "taxing the shit out of them", isn't going to put any more oil in the pipeline, and that's the only thing that will make the price go down.
