Chevron is Big Oil’s latest profit gusher

SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) - Astounding profits in the oil industry are becoming as routine as the anguished looks of motorists filling up their gas tanks.

Chevron Corp. put yet another exclamation point on the oil patch’s long run of prosperity Friday with a first-quarter profit of $5.17 billion, or $2.48 per share. That was up 10 percent from net income of $4.72 billion, or $2.18 per share, last year.

It was the second-highest quarterly profit in the company’s 129-year history.
