Course I have mate.
Must be 2 years since you last flashed me.

In case you hadn't noticed a cougar is a cat.

I don't know, you can dress him up but you can't take him anywhere.

Yep, by 7pm when we went out for the evening, gas was 1.49 here in victoria.

Hang on whilst I put a new string on my violin.

Thats too complicated for you, you better get the wife to do it for you!

Went from 1.28/liter to 1.45/liter at my station in Chilliwack.

There was a oil company rep on TV today, saying the pipe line in the gulf is running still, and the increase is from everyone rushing out to get gas due to rumors of a gas shortage, even though there is no shortage.

It will take a while to get all the Houston-area production back up to full speed. ALWAYS fill up when there is a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. If you can wait, wait a bit.

So around $2.25 to $2.45 a litre. Makes me feel much better about paying $1.38 a litre here. Though I'm off to Wales on the 22nd so it's nice to have an idea of how much to budget for fuel.

You think 92 cents US a litre is mad? Bring some here pls.

US Gallon = 3.78 litres.
Imp gallon = 4.54 litres. UK and Canada

say hello for me

It's the volatility of the gas prices which gets me. Still can't get used to it a year on, but expect I will have to.

Considering that, in the last year, the price of a barrel of oil has varied between about $75 and $140, it's not surprising that the price of gas has been volatile!

Still, with investment banks and hedge funds collapsing all around us, the price of oil should continue dropping back to more sensible levels.

I would not be too sure of that.

Money is largely paper or electronic fiction.... whereas oil is a very real and scarce commodity.

And speculation backed by that 'fictional' money appears to have been the primary driver of oil prices in the last year; demand has been dropping as supply and prices rose. With the American economy apparently in big trouble (and the knock-on effects on China and elsewhere), there's not much to justify $100+ oil prices.

Oil prices are coming down here a`t the moment, just had an oil delivery heating oil and payed 57.9 a ltr friend payed 75 a ltr a month ago, last year we were paying 34p for same also petrol is now £118.99 a ltr sorry i mean Diesel.

Yeah, futures prices appear to be down about another $2 today... October to December 2008 all seem to be under $100 now.

I'd guess it will bumble down to $60-70 a barrel over the next few months.
