Its called profit margin. They make about 8 cents on every dollar they spend. So if they spent $1 for a gallon of gas in 2000 they made 8 cents now if they spend $2 they make .16 cents. Their profit margin has not changed.

Ok,so you honestly believe they only make 8 cents on the dollar for a gallon of gas?What do you believe is there profit on the rest of the barrel of oil?

Profit margine is incorporates all asspects of their business. I'm sure they loose money in some areas and make larger profits in others. The bottom line is they make around 8 cents on the dollar.

That was the day I said enough of Comcast. They tried to charge me more $ for the NFL Netowrk. But what pissed me off was they tried to hide it with some bullshit package with networks they already gave you in the first place. Total bullshit. I'd rather they just be honest with me and tell me why they are charging me more money. Bastards. They're losing subscribers to Verizon every single day.

I'm up in Connecticut and I watched the game on NFL Network. I don't understand why it wouldn't be available down in Atlanta

Re: why does congress want to look into"spygate"?

So I am watching these tapes on NFL Network, and it's the Bills and I think I see GW on the sidelines. Obviously we all knew about these violations but it is kinda interesting.

Also whoever taped these was kinda sleazy, because during the SD game tapes, the videographer spent a good amount of time on the cheerleaders lol.

Re: why does congress want to look into"spygate"?

Specter just won't let this die, I'm really wondering what his agenda is at this point. Talk about a waste of time and resources. Aren't there more important issues out there right now? Like I don't know, maybe the war, insane gas prices, and rising food prices?
