Gas Price thread.

[Mr I]

is that dollars or pounds? and is that in gallons?

Thats a what it would cost for the same, stop complaining guys, you have good employment figures also

I used to get pissed off about banking fees....but then I bought some bank stocks and I felt better about it. In my mind, the profit I was making from the stocks offset the fees and then some, so it didn't bug me anymore.

So, if the price of gas is driving you nuts, buy some energy stocks. I bought some shares in some oil and oil services companies awhile back, and they're up, so I don't feel as bad about getting gouged over at the pump anymore. I figure that every time they jack the price, I'm making more money.

is that using the same measurements we use and the American dollar etc..?

Its been moving between around $1.20 & $1.50, (this is per litre.)

$1.50 australian is about $1.30 U.S (unleaded)

About 2 years ago we were paying under a dollar a litre.

[Mr I]

here its £0.97 per litre and theres nearly $2 to £1

Smart man - very good decision and thought process - impressive way to think...

$2.89 this morning in NorCal. Dropped a couple cents when they started talking about making price gouging a law. They did the same when they were threatening to pass the Prop 87 bill. But californians are too stupid to know which bills to vote for.
