If I am not mistaken the oil companies are currently receiving an 8 plus percent return on their investment. Eight percent is more than some businesses and far less than other businesses. I personally do not have a complaint with an 8 plus percent return...and it is the share holders (people) that are the benefactors of the return. It has been said that as many as 48% of people that have stocks, 401 K's etc. have oil shares in their portfolios. Adjusted for inflation the price of gas is about the same as it was 40 years ago.
