I wonder whether Woodward's accusation (collusion between Bush and the Saudis to drop prices before the election) is true. I guess we'll find out.

isn't it just a restatement of their standing policy? Saudi's have always said that they would try to hold oil at around 28/barrell. They've said they think it will be at that price by the end of summer.

Woodward's "Fair and Balanced" reporting of that policy is "Secret Deal With Bush Hegemony to Control World Oil! Human-Walrus Baby Born in UFO!!!"

$1.68 US in Hammond, La.

I don't know what the conversion ration to USD is, but .98 per liter is 3.72 per US gallon.

The good news about gas:

--Americans are still not paying as much as they were in 1982.
--We could have it like sun sparkz...$2.76US a gallon.

Actually, foreign prices seem to be lower than what I've seen in the past...it's just over $2 a gallon in the Toronto area.

but, do you have a bunch of gas cans in the back to fill up the airplane? Bet you save a PILE o money if your engine is 87 octane rated.
