8.4 Billion is Pretty Good

Explain to me one more time why gas prices are so high

Exxon Mobil Corp., the world's largest publicly traded oil company, on Thursday reported quarterly profit surged, driven by rising oil prices.

Net income in the first quarter was $8.4 billion, or $1.37 a share, up from $7.86 billion, or $1.22 a share, a year earlier.

Revenue jumped to $88.98 billion from $82.05 billion.
Full disclosure: I have some Exxon-Mobil stock and yes I am ashamed.
