No one is making 40 to 50 cents of a gallon, independent or corporate, stop being an idiot.

They are a business, what do you expect them to do. Cap their profit and give the rest away to the regular public so they look "honorable" in the eyes of the public?
In case you forgot: Business - 1.the purchase and sale of goods in an attempt to make a profit.
2. a person, partnership, or corporation engaged in commerce, manufacturing, or a service; profit-seeking enterprise or concern.


What do you want them to do, go out of business?
