Due to higher volume. Hate all you want. I know I do too. But higher cost of production and transport is the bigger cause of high prices. Really I hate big oil. They outspent the opposition of cheap hydro electric from Canada. Big winner was not maybe, but big oil.

Do you research, not just headlines. I'm no fan of big big oil for sure, but record profit is due to the record sales. Their profit margin is actually slimmer than it was 2 years ago

So you are saying that since gas prices are high, even though their profit margin is slimmer than it was 2 years ago, and costs of production are higher, they should trim their profit margin slimmer just because demand is high? That goes against every logical business plan.
