Guys i'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but do the research as to how much the oil companies make per gallon of gas sold compared to how much the government makes in TAXES that are put on each gallon sold. Yes the oil companies are making record profits, but think of how much money the govenment is making. That should be the real focus. Not to mention that it costs NOTHING to tax gas, but the oil companies have to find the oil, drill for the oil, refine the oil, and finally distribute the oil. So they have lots of expenses involved compared to uncle sam just sitting back and taking it all in.
