I agree with you that high gasoline price maximizes oil company
profit. However as a pilot you can easily hedge on that by buying oil
company stock,

And if you pay the mob, thugs won't keep trashing your store.

I'm quite certain that I made far more from the oil companies than what I
paid
extra for the fuel, and I only have a small part of my 401k in the
energy sector.

I have an ethical problem with the idea that the way to combat corrupt
practices and preditorial pricing--which hurts the American economy--is to
invest in it.

Sorry. My conscience prevents me from doing that.
