If you're wondering who is making all the money you might want to look at OPEC. This year they are making over a Trillion dollars. While our publically traded companies are raking it in as well even ExxonMobil is a piker on a worldwide scale. Also before trashing gas retailers for taking out ads in newspapers understand that there are multiple places in the oil value chain and independent gas retailers are price takers and have no control over what price they sell at.

Yup, and newspaper ads aren't cheap. Neither are PR firms.
Building up levels of convulution pretty much is what the oil industry does for their own self-preservation. I'd appreciate it immensely if they just came clean about it (after all, they are the great champions of free enterprise).
They hold onto a commodity and god love 'em, they are maximizing it. Stop crying "hard done by." It's an insult to consumer intelligence.
