goatboy | OIL companies are making £3Million an hour in profitt. How, then can they justify.....? |
...charging so much at the pump?
Additional Details
ascoile: I agree the government does charge alot in fuel tax, but that has always been the case. Recent rises are supposedly due to interruptions in supply and demand though; if that is supposed to be the case why do companies show record profits? |

you are using the wrong metrics.
it sounds like the oil companies are being paid by the hour...like a laborer. which they are not.
say you have a family the "Ropers" . Mother, Father, 2 sons and a Daughter. they all work together they make 150,000 a year to support the household.....
Based on a normal work week, would you say that Roper was being paid $72 an hour? probably not.
the metric you need is the Price to Earnings ratio (P/E) for each share of outstanding stock. a low number says that they make a lot a high number says they dont.
most oil companies dont have a very high P/E ratio, but some do. Right now BP, Shell and some others have had excellent Quarter turnover, but that has not been divided up amoungst all the shareholders yet. when it does you will probably see a 4-5% return. which isnt great.
the price at the pump...is unfortunately due to 1) the value of currency, and 2) so much speculation in the oil market.
right now India and China are consuming the lions share of oil with the US coming in a close 3 (surprisingly). most of this is for transit fuel and feedstock for agricultural chemicals. food is highpriced now due to lousy currency so the price of oil goes up again.

They're in it to make as much money as they can. We are stupid enough to keep paying. If we really wanted to f**k them up we'd all get bikes but we're lazy and spoilt.
I'll fill up the car tomorrow morning and mutter under my breath as it goes above £60, but I'll be back again, and again... |

Its too much of a cash cow for the oil companies and the government not to profit from it. And to think we have to pay car tax as well every year! |

They charge very little at the pump, the rest is put on by the government in tax plus VAT
70p a litre in tax |

because us americans are fat cheeky fellows and we cant walk for ourselves and personally i dont think it would be so bad if those people that yell about paying so much would get out of there pointless trucks and live like italian people who are fine in little cars and pastry shops when we got fat cheeky men with bald heads in america smoking pot and saying why but then they all get in there big truck or v8 car and cry to mummy about no money |

Big companies just fool you. They have reserves for at least 50 years. They just play with you and gain the profits.
What is disgusting though is that everything you buy : bread., cheese etc....has triple the price now...........like everything else recommending transportation.
All bit companies have loads and load of barrels in reserve for at least 50 years or more.........they are not bankrupt !
They play the market to make themselves rich.. |

Whether £3M is too much or too little depends on the capital they invested, which you have not mentioned. Go back to elementary school and listen to the teacher this time. |
