100% profit? Let's see: Deep ocean drilling rig, $500 million + $1 million/day operating costs. Large oil tanker, $120 million. Oil pipeline, several million per mile (depending on size, terrain, etc). Oil refinery, maybe $2.5 billion...

PS: Anyone else notice the annoying ad that asks how much I'd save if my car got 60 mpg? It'd cost me money, 'cause mine has averaged 71.2 mpg over the nearly 8 years and 100K miles I've owned it.
