The price of home heating oil here in New Hampshire, USA just hit $3.799 a gallon, up $1.50 since
September..... �My question is, are we the only ones getting screwed here in the US or has the price
gone up as much in other countries around the globe ????? �I believe we're getting it shoved up our
backsides because of George Bush's war ****ing the rest of the world off, but that's just my
opinion... �Please, I'm not looking to start a long flaming thread here, just interested in what
other people in other "non Bush" countries are paying...............


Thanks


The bigger issue is that oil is the most significant purchase that is
being made by the USA on the world market. �If you look at the cost of
oil in terms of gold (ounces of gold per barrel of oil) the price is
quite good. �The problem we have is that the the value of the US dollar
has fallen precipitously outside the US.


The problem we have in the U.S. is no drilling or refining. �Going
green is the problem. �It is reflected in the green that comes out of
your wallet.- Hide quoted text -
