Solitude, who are you to determine that they made too much profit? When did it become a problem for a company to make money? Or are you saying that it is ok for a company to make money, but they have to limit the amount they make? That is like telling a company that they have made too much money and they need to close for a little bit so they do not make any more...

I do remember paying $4.00 for gas. I paid it just like you and everyone else. If you want to drive a gas vehicle, you pay whatever the price at the pump is. There are alternatives, you could buy a hybrid. But those are probably too much since the 'Big Car Industry' is charging more for them than they cost to produce (making a profit...but are they making too much of a profit?).
