less.
If oil is twice the cost they are marking up something that is twice the cost and therefore will have more overall profit.

Are you saying if their normal profit is 7% they should only make 4% on more less volume but higher costs? Maybe you don't understand how costs increase whether volume is up or down over time, especially in inflationary times.

Oil needs to be at least in the $50+ range or you have the issues we had a few years ago and they will not have money to invest and it affects every area of the economy negatively.

Next time just keep your stupidity to yourself
