Diesel drivers bring in a lot of money for oil companies since the Iran war

BP, Saudi Aramco, Shell, and ExxonMobil reported significant profit increases in Q2, driven by high refining margins. Diesel and gasoline prices surged, impacting consumers. Greenpeace highlights that oil companies' extra profits stem from rising fuel prices, with diesel sales contributing the most. The closure of European refineries has led to scarcity, exacerbating price hikes. Greenpeace advocates for higher taxes on these excess profits to alleviate energy costs for consumers.
