Credit First Service Union (AXcess News) Santa Monica, CA - The round of record quarterly oil-company profit reports ended today with California-based Chevron, whose astounding 49 percent increase in net income tells only a fraction of the story about how California motorists are financing the company's excesses, said the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer rights (FTCR). The report also noted a 260 percent increase in its refining and sales profits, coming in large part from California. This is further proof that retail gasoline prices are rising far faster than the cost of production, despite oil company excuses about the price of crude oil, added FTCR.
