Oil hit $77 then backed off a few cents...
bp makes 33billion dollars in profit last year.
and we have to pay additional cost to cover the cost of THEM doing buisness.

i could easily live off of 10.62% profit margin.
don't you believe for a second that the oil co's don't make that "small percentage " every step along the way.

10.62%+
10.62%+
10.62%+
10.62%+
10.62%+
10.62%+
