Price before Skybird came to this forum: Below $30 US. Price of oil when Skybird reached 10k posts, over $100. Think about it...

This is very bad news for our fishermen as the cost of diesel is out of control. Yes us Brits will be hit hard as the cost of fish & chips is going to see a big rise.

Yeah, I can see the message is getting through to the auto manufacturers... Check the mpg rating...

Well, it guess if you're rich enough to buy one, you're rich enough not to worry about buying the fuel for it...

And every time oil goes up $10, it costs the USAF (read US taxpayer) alone $610 Million.

August, Good job of pointing out the ole Post Hoc Ergo Proctor Hoc logic fallacy. Or as we analysts say in English: Correlation does not mean causality.

Here is another one for you

We have not had a terrorist attack in the United States since the TV program "24" has been on. I think AQ is afraid of Jack Bauer.
