P.S. - A lot of the current oil price is purely a monetary inflation issue. You make more dollars but not more oil (or gold or wheat) and even my wife can understand that each unit of oil is going to cost more dollars.

I thought the current problem was with Venezuela threatening to invade Columbia?

...it's also that two refineries are not at full power, in fact I think one is still off completely.

Since Cananda is supposed to have the 2nd biggest oil reserves on the planet, why not buy from them, or is it to do with them being half French? :laugh

I'll try running my SUV on gold tomorrow OFF, not sure it'll work though, no carbon though :thumbs
