It was a fact relevant to the topic. Funnily enough the cost of oil and fuel are related. Its much more relevant than your patronising bullsh1t question that you always seem to have to come out with :rolleyes:

Dunno about you guys, but as well as my beloved SV I have to drive the car for work - I get petrol expenses, but have to lay out the money up front, so I got an Adsa credit card which lays out the money up front for me AND, I get 2p a litre off petrol bought from Asda petrol stations! Worth doing if you use quite a bit like me..

I don't mean it was meaningless in the context of the thread, I mean the figure its self was meaningless. Saying $1.3bn is insane amounts of money, insane amounts of money for who? For one person yes, for one country no.

It's like saying that the lower castes of India have 'insane amounts of money' because they've got £2bn between them, ignoring the fact that there's a billion of the poor blighters so they've only got £2 each.
