I realize that high gasoline prices have an effect on most prices, thanks. Should the oil companies be selling gasoline below cost?

I don't care about other industries profit margin, mmmkay?. Maybe you didn't understand that in my previous post. No other industry has such a negative effect on the economy than the oil industry with rising prices.
They have a long ways to go before they sell it below cost. About 125B worth before they hit that point from last year alone.
