The recent fall in gasoline prices had some of us breathing a short sigh of relief – until we remembered how much we’re still being gamed! Just four years ago we were paying less than $2.00 a gallon – and only $1.50 a gallon five years ago.
And all this time, the profits of the oil companies have been soaring. Exxon just announced its largest profit ever – almost 15 billion dollars in just one three-month period! And Exxon is just one of the big five international oil companies.
Even with gas prices down some, we’re still being taken for an incredibly expensive ride!
