As a former gasoline consumer, and someone who owns a calculator, those numbers don't add up. I came up with a -0.304 profit per gallon running the numbers you gave, based on the current price of gas in Wichita as of Friday night.

Average gas prices are from 2.73 to 2.84 in Wichita right now, according to:

What were oil company profits like 4 years ago, compared to today? Have they tripled, along with the prices for gasoline? Profits are not bad, that's why everybody that goes into business goes into business, but gouging the public is bad.
