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.
$1.3bn a day from a 365 day a year production is insane to me, as a single source of income even for a country...I'm Sure the Sultan of Brunie doesnt think so though as alot of it goes to him and his family.

I am happy the prices are slowly dropping but I dont like the fact that the supermarkets initially offered better prices if you spend £50+ in store excluding filling up! I also think the prices are not dropping as quick as they went up - we will see.

Cheers guys.... you just depressed me.

Guess who filled up with 56litres of diesel at 131.9p/litre on Friday, just before the prices started falling....
