Just how big is Exxon Mobil's $11.68 billion second-quarter profit?
At the current price of $3.77 a gallon in Fort Worth, it's enough to buy
3.1 billion gallons of gasoline ... or
10.3 gallons for every man, woman and child in America.
How far could you go on 3.1 billion gallons of gasoline?
At 20 mpg, you could travel 155 million miles !!!
That's the equivalent of traveling to the moon and back 324 times.
I should be a stockholder!

At roughly 132 billion in sales that is < $10 in profit. Do you feel the need to report that for the $12 billion in profit that Exxon paid $32 billion in taxes? Didn't think so. BTW what exactly is wrong with an American company making money?
