Sure. But when you break it down ounce by ounce the Scotch is still much more expensive. What sort of comparison is that?

Some things never change.

It's a good movie.
Don't just read reviews, you've got to watch it.

Seriously, somebody watch it you won't be disappointed.
Oh, and it's not one of those documentaries made by special interest groups, it's a regular movie, touching on a general point of revolution and how much it actually changes things.
next on the netflix list...

Glad I loaded up on USO and DXD. It was a good day in the markets for me.

Another netflix recommendation: A Crude Awakening

Cool, it's not really on the subject of oil, but it was interesting. I'm a right winger and I still found it interesting. For some reason my tree hugger friends from out here in Portland were surprised.

Good movie, it's got the old guy from The Italian Job in it.

PS - sry bout the double post.

Re: Are you annoyed with the high gas prices?

Just filled my car's tank from near empty with diesel (Volvo S60) - cost, £100. Thats roughly $200 to fill my fuel tank!... Thank god it lasts for near 800 miles at 45+mpg.

At the moment in the UK, I pay circa £1.30 a litre, which in round numbers is around $2.60 a litre... which is just under $10 a US gallon.

High fuel prices are affecting us all, and really biting now - in the UK, the prices have gone nuts beyond belief, and the prediction is by end of the year we'll be breaking £1.50 a litre ($11.20 a gallon). No end in sight, other than people having to sell their cars cause they cannot afford to run them.
