Drivers cry 'foul' as Exxon profits soar
Drivers cry 'foul' as Exxon profits soar: "The oil companies assert that their profits are no larger than other businesses and that they just look big because it is a big business.
Exxon chairman Lee R. Raymond said in a statement that the company 'acted responsibly' in its pricing and said its fourth-quarter profits would come nowhere close to the $9.9 billion in the third quarter.
That doesn't necessarily wash with Adrienne Valdez of Phoenix.
'I can't afford to buy socks because I am paying twice what I used to for gas.' she said. 'It's not right that they (oil companies) should be making billions at our expense.' "
