No, look at the chart above lol.
Wait, since I know you don't like looking for data, here it is again :-D.
Oil Profit Margins vs. Other Industries « The Everyday Economist
And to throw some more in there, google makes a 25% profit margin.
EDIT: You're certainly right about making a distinction between gas stations and oil/gas companies. Sorry for not distinguishing that above. A lot of gas stations are owned by oil/gas companies though. Also, the chart (as well of all other date) still simplifies the information. They are averages. Exxon makes roughtly 10.8% profit margin, while some other oil companies make closer to 6% profit margin.
