Exxon Mobil posted quarter earnings of $10.49 billion, the second largest quarterly profit ever by a publicly traded company despite falling prices of crude oil and gasoline prices towards the end of the third quarter. Crude oil peaked at $78, but is now trading at $61, while gasoline prices have fallen to an average of $2.43 after peaking at over $3 dollars per gallon.
