Taken from 'The Guardian' newspaper in the U.K today (third Sept 2008) Shell was today accused of making "obscene" profits at a time when pensioners, motorists and industry are struggling with higher energy prices when it unveiled annual earnings of $27.6bn (£13.9bn). The oil major has made British corporate history with the record figures, which are equivalent to more than £1.5m an hour and come at the end of a three month period when crude prices have averaged over $90 a barrel.

How much does Exxon Mobil make per gallon of gas?
They actually make about 8% profit. So if the wholesale price of gasoline is $3.18 a gallon, they would theoretically make .25 cents. In fact, however, the profit earned specifically from the retail sale of gasoline in much lower, and can be as little as 2 cents per gallon. Keep in mind that state and federal taxes can add another 25-63 cents. Oil companies obviously don't make a profit on the sales tax. Oil companies' overall margin is not high for a major industry since most companies shoot for at least 10% profit. The difference, and the reason they make so much money, is that they sell so much of it. They sell gasoline to not only the US but to many of the oil producing countries that don't have refinery capability.
