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. :)
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

:eek:
i always call it petrol :)
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
4/15/02, 11:15pm
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.

what's petrol?;)

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

Isn't it more expensive than gasoline?
:P

gas rules
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
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.
:( ?( :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( :) :(
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? ;)

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...
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.

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

Don't know about Canadian, but when I was in the UK it was something like $4/gallon (US equivalent).
unclehobart
4/16/02, 02:25pm
65cdn cents/liter translates to 1.59US per gallon.

That's right about what I'm paying for Premium right now.
Jebus... you guys are post whores.
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 ;)
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.
