Shameless Gasoline Windfalls: Investigation Into a Total Scandal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9782315012329)

Did you know that lower oil prices are almost never passed on fairly to consumers at the pump? That oil companies sacrifice their own refineries? That they pay no taxes, manipulate information and collude to avoid competition?

Every year, the announcement of profits by oil companies, especially Total, provokes reactions of admiration or indignation from French observers, experts and politicians. But what are these figures hiding? Thomas Porcher reveals eight scandalous practices by the gasoline giants. His aim-to encourage collective denunciation and vigilance, which alone will lead governments to act for the good of citizens.
