I have a question that many people I know would like to have the answer to. How come with gas prices so high, and they tell us that it is because of the price per barrel for crude oil, then how are all the oil companies making record breaking profits in the excess of $35 billion in the last quarter. I would like to know how that is being justified? This seems like a perfect example of fraud to the consumers under Oil and Gas Fraud. Please help. Thank you Marilyn Miller
