"Praise Jesus! Somebody besides me gets it! Hallelujah! Amen!"

Some people can't figure out that the oil companies make a percentage of profit from a gallon of gas. 10% of $2.50 a gallon is a whole lot more than 10% of $.99, and they haven't changed a thing. People whining about the big oil companies making all this money don't even realize they haven't changed a single number since this whole run-up started unless to account for inflation of supplies.
