Hmm... one rank change per day on average so far. This means you should be at the 30k mark by weeks end. Get cracking young lady. :)

[Leslie]

I think at the rate you're going you'll be ahead in no time - I've got a few hours on you and you're only 7 behind. Uh oh! :D

[unclehobart]

Well... It will take some pounding. I tend to type out several lines in my replies for the most part. I have to hang out for hours just to get a good 20 posts in. ...and that only if there is something worth posting against.

[MitchSchaft]

I honestly had no idea that Venezuela was on the edge of a civil war. Now that theyve kicked out their weenie semi dictator, the price of petrol has dropped nicely.

[hardtellin]

huh..:confused:...I wish I could say the same over here:(

[unclehobart]

Whoops... my first mistake. The quote button is at the top of a post. I meant to tag Les' line above the one of Justins that I used.

Time to drink a beer as punishment.

[unclehobart]

well ... I should say stabilized. It had a pretty bad run up over the last 2 weeks, but gave back a few cents in recent days.

[Justintime]

but you'll see worse with beer in da system! :D

[hardtellin]

I am definately in the wrong too...:D..toast:)

I truly had no idea either. It was a total mistake when I said Venezuela. :) But heck maybe I've acquired some new psychic powers! That would be cool! :D

[unclehobart]

I get little creepy dejavu premonitions like that from time to time as well.

[outside looking in]

Damn spammers... :eek: :P

[Leslie]

unclehobart, do you really call it petrol? Who'da thunk it?

[Justintime]

:eek:

i always call it petrol :)

[Leslie]

Well, I figured that, but did you think that *shhh, whisper "americans"* would call it petrol? I'dve thought it would've been gas. Hmm, live and learn :D

[unclehobart]

I'm the only yank talking to a pack of Canadians and English. I am just modifying my linguistics to suit the audience at hand. I can say 'gas' per normal ... but someone might think I was speaking of a burp or a methane emission.

[Justintime]

aye true! innit yo?
oi! geeza, whats you doin callern gas petrol aye? bollox mate, yous gotta stick ta ya tradition yo ;)

[unclehobart]

Word up, brotha man.

..now pass me a fag.

[Justintime]

ok bruv, longs you gotsa light :D

[Leslie]

Thanks for dumbing it down for the masses, unc :D

[MitchSchaft]

what's petrol?;)

[unclehobart]

Petrol is that low octane gas that they dish out in lousy 1/4 gallon increments.

[outside looking in]

Isn't it more expensive than gasoline?


:P

[MitchSchaft]

gas rules

[nodnod]

Gas is 75.9 cents a litre here (Nova Scotia, Canada). I guess americans don't now what a litre is though. A litre is ummmm... uhhhh... well there are 3.785 litres in a gallon :D

[MitchSchaft]

Gas is $1.30 right now. I'm not a newbie anymore

[nodnod]

1.30 a gallon? that would work out to 34.3 cents a litre which is still cheaper than here by about 12 cents american a litre.

[Jeffy79]

:( ?( :P :D :o ?( :o :eek: :headbang: :rolleyes: X( 8) ;) 8) :P :eek: nuke em, nuke em all ;). Lets take over the fields, .50 a gallon, but restrict travel ;) ;) :headbang: :rolleyes: ;) X( :) :(

[Leslie]

here we're about 65c, fairly steady. :( I still have oil heat though so I'm deeply concerned now with the Middle East stuff :eek:

I stopped watching the news. How is Argentina doing now, unc? ;)

[Gato_Solo]

Argentina is still a question mark. Venezuela, otoh, has their tinpot despot back after a 5 day hide-out he took. As a result, oil prices surged again, and, soon, the price of gasoline will rise again as well. Perhaps the US should start buying more oil from Mexico...

[Leslie]

Isn't that what the ghastly Alaska Pipeline Project is for? More self sufficiency? I'm not clear on what the additional oil is for, I thought for US use, could've been for sale.

I think I'll have to buy a woodstove. :(

Hold on... are you converting between US and Canadian currency? Last I knew, Canadian petrol cost was only a shade higher than the US average.

[Justintime]

thats what i thought too.

[Leslie]

roundabout 65c cdn in South Central Ontario, someone else can do the math. Can't wake up today :)

[outside looking in]

Don't know about Canadian, but when I was in the UK it was something like $4/gallon (US equivalent).

[unclehobart]

65cdn cents/liter translates to 1.59US per gallon.

[outside looking in]

That's right about what I'm paying for Premium right now.

[krusty]

Jebus... you guys are post whores.

[Leslie]

We're not post whores, this is a reasonable discussion about the angst presently suffered by Argentina and Venezuela, and the effect of this on world gas/petrol prices. The most recent posts here were for clarification purposes, as the language barrier is sometimes difficult to overcome between Canada, Britain and the US. :D ;)

[Inkara1]

So any updates on Argentina and Venezuela? I'm too lazy to Google it. Regular unleaded is hovering around US$2.20-$2.25 a gallon in my area.

[Professur]

Hard to believe it was only three years ago, eh?

Regular unleaded is now "only" $2.07 per gallon here...:rolleyes:

[highwayman]

2.07? I just paid $1.93 at arco...I say fuck the oil companies...

[Inkara1]

It's been in the $2-thirtysomething range here lately.
