That is a terrible comparison chart as we were way more in pandemic mode a year ago. Exxon the biggest one on that list made more profits in Q2 of 2012 than Q2 of 2022 [0] and that is not even accounting for inflation. While that was probably somewhat of an outlier quarter, I expect this past one to be too as petrol prices have been going down recently.
