how is it?
how is it that some oil company's can inflate their prices so much "due to production lows" but yet still post a profit earnings of nearly double than last quarter?

I might be wrong on this but I believe you answered your own question in your original post.
They inflated the price. I believe prices are often inflated in expectation of future increases in cost of their doing business. |

There goes that whole liberal theory about "stealing Saddams Oil" and attacking Iraq for all that FREE oil we were gonna take. Yep we are still paying for it like eveybody else, and the same 5 Arab families are raking in billions and they will continue to allow people like Saddam to commit atrocities and continue to allow the US to clean the dogshit out of their own backyard instead of Arabs getting rid of their own mangy rabid Arab dogs and policing their own part of the world.
