If oil companies werent makin a profit we would be hurt later on. As mentioned there is a lot that goes on from the time the oil leaves the ground until it hits your tank.
They need to keep the prices high enough so that they have the funds to keep finding it and coming up with the means to recover it.
Frankly I think havin the cost of gas what it is actually is a good thing in that it is motivating us to get off the foreign oil.
You can actually go online and find a list of gas stations that do and do not use Arab oil. For example conoco does not use Arab oil if you wanna start small and not buy from the gas stations that do.
