Really?

Are you guys serious? This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Oil companies lose money selling gasoline. Gas is one of the most refined products of oil. Highly refined means it costs the oil companies quite a bit to make it, but they have to sell it at such a reasonable price so people still purchase it. Industial use is what causes the price to rise.

I was able to ask this question to a exxon v.p. Oil companies usually make slight profits from gas stations not from gas sales, but all the shit inside like cokes and candy.
