Exxon, Chevron Made $71 Billion Profit in 2012 As Consumers Paid Record Gas Prices
Here are the highlights of how Exxon and Chevron spend their earnings:
ExxonMobil
Exxon received $600 million annual tax breaks. In 2011, Exxon paid just 13 percent in taxes. The company paid no taxes to the U.S. federal government in 2009, despite 45.2 billion record profits. It paid $15 billion in taxes, but none in federal income tax.
Exxon’s oil production was down 6 percent from 2011.
In fourth quarter, Exxon bought back $5.3 billion of its stock, which enriches the largest shareholders and executives of the company.
Exxon’s federal campaign contributions totaled $2.77 million for the 2012 cycle, sending 89 percent to Republicans.
The company spent $12.97 million lobbying in 2012 to protect low tax rates and block pollution controls and safeguards for public health.
Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson received $24.7 million total compensation.
Exxon is moving ahead with a project to develop the tar sands in Canada.
Chevron:
In October, Chevron made the single-largest corporate donation in history. Chevron dropped $2.5 million with the Congressional Leadership Fund super PAC to elect House Republicans.
The bulk of Chevron’s federal contributions came from the super PAC donation, for a total of $3.87 million for the 2012 cycle. 85 percent went to Republicans.
Chevron spent $9.55 million lobbying Congress in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Chevron paid 19 percent U.S. taxes last year (half of the top corporate tax rate of 35 percent), and received an estimated $700 million in annual tax breaks last year.
Chevron was fined $1 million for a refinery fire that sent 15,000 Richmond, California residents to the hospital. Though the company faces $10 million in medical expenses, Chevron earns it back in a couple of hours.
With Royal Dutch S and ConocoPhillips reporting $35 billion in combined profit in 2012, BP is the last company left to announce its profits for the year.

I couldn't tell you, I don't buy gas.
So you are for getting rid of tax loopholes? Even all the Dem supporting companies like Berkshire and GE?
Sure, all of 1%/VRWC/corporate/estate tax loopholes, all gone.
and no tax-free health insurance, either. and capping mortgage interest deductions to average house value in a region, and no mortgage deduction for anything but first house.
also, no fortune 1000 companies or their bogus scamming "subsidiaries" to receive "small" business loans and assistance.

Gasoline Prices Get Early Start On Spring Surge
The culprits: Rising crude oil prices, slowing output at refineries that are undergoing maintenance, and low supplies of gasoline.
When the first Super Bowl was played 46 years ago, gasoline cost about 32 cents per gallon and Super Bowl tickets cost $10. Now gasoline is $3.42 and a seat in a distant corner of the Superdome costs $2,236 on the ticket-reselling site StubHub.
Put another way, a ticket to the Super Bowl in 1966 was worth about 31 gallons of gasoline then, enough for 2 fill-ups. A ticket to Sunday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers in New Orleans is worth 650 gallons — enough to fill a mid-size sedan 43 times.

During Drilling Boom, Americans Spend More On Gas Than They Have In Nearly 30 Years
The Energy Information Administration reports household spending on gasoline hit nearly a three-decade high in 2012, accounting for almost 4 percent of income. That averages to roughly $2,900 per person a year.
Gas consumption has decreased — largely because of fuel-efficient cars — but even these gains were not enough to offset 2012′s record gas prices:
U.S. gasoline consumption fell in 2011 to 134.2 billion gallons, its lowest level since 2001. However, at the same time, EIA’s average city retail gasoline price rose 26.1% in 2011, and another 3.3% in 2012, when it reached $3.70 per gallon. The effect of the higher prices in 2011 and 2012 outweighed the effect of reduced consumption.

Around 2.75 for a low around two weeks ago in Denver. Today around 3.15
About a 15% increase?
Either my math sucks or yours does.
