BTW, Exxon's profit margin was 9% last year...and guess what? They made over double selling crude oil compared to gasoline last quarter. They "produce" and sell more gasoline than what they sell in crude but the profits are much, MUCH greater in crude sales.
$5.6 billion(crude sales) compared to $2.4 billion(gasoline sales)...but then again all of these evil companies make their money in gasoline. 
The company returns most of its profit to shareholders, distributing about $40 billion in 2008 in the form of share buybacks and dividends(which is good is it not considering a ton of 401K's are locked into companies like this).
