Dude, for somebody who is into video games, you really suck at abstract thinking. Your link first talked about finances related to extracting, selling, and profiting from crude oil. Generally speaking that is going to be a foreign country such as Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, or a middle eastern country although the US does, of course, engage in that portion of the industry as well. As already stated, your link is very ambiguous on the matter as if the "oil company" is the same entity from start to finish.
You are correct that my link doesn't specifically refer to American oil companies,[begin insert] their profits, nor how much other companies make. It has one catagory for crude oil cost, which will include that portion of the industries' profits, and it includes refining and distribution costs so it essentially covers the whole process. What I found most interesting was that the portion of the cost for taxes was nearly equal to refining and profit combined [/end insert]. However, since it is a publication by the United States government referring to what percentage of the price of gasoline goes for what have you, you can infer that a) it is a reflection of cost paid by the American consumer and b) at the very least it refers to prices dealing with companies that operate in America. Of course there are foreign companies distributing and selling fuel here such as BP and Citgo and you can criticize me if you want by over-simplifying and just saying American oil companies.
At least you didn't post some tinfoil hat nonsense that my citation was based on information from the US government and, therefore, suspect.
