I just saw gasoline at $1.81 per gallon (about 3.8 liters). That's less than 50 cents per liter....

Ha! Right on cue I see a report saying some servos in Sydney have dropped to below a dollar. I haven't got fuel for a week, so I'll have to have a look soon and see what it is here.

Paying around $1.14 for diesel, a good 20 cents per litre less than a couple of moths ago. At this price (and with my Forester getting very good economy), I can do my weekly commute to school and some shopping at the weekend for a little over $20 a week - chickenfeed, really...

Petrol sems to be around $1.08 ATM...

My dad had this reel to reel when I was kid. Sometimes the spools let out a big gulp of tape when the oil refinery and the oil got out of kilter. A sure sign the tape was gonna snap and need replacing sometime soon. :read:

Negative interest rates (and low to no growth) in a bunch of countries; China growth tanking. Time to hit the bunkers, boys!
