    28C (82F) and 1.43AUD/litre (1.078USD) or 4.08USD/Gallon. That's about average over the last few weeks. Oh and humidity is around 62%.

    Jeez I love Queensland. :banana:

    88 F and VERY high humitity.
    Gas prices have been dropping for a week, $3.29/gal now. It was at $3.80 two weeks ago.
    On the TV news, they predicted prices as low as $3.00 when it gets cold. I'm sure heating oil prices will skyrocket to pick up the slack.
    We wouldn't want all those Chevron /BP execs. to miss their end of year bonuses, now would we? :mad:

    We've slipped all the way down to $3.88 at the cheapest watered down station. Pretty much an average of $3.95. The rest of the state is $.40 cheaper.

    $1.13 per litre and 44F with 40 MPH winds and 4 days of rain, maybe Snow on Sunday. :cry:

    Yep, recession is in the tea-leaves. The way every country is acting though, I think its the high-roller investors that will take a bath. It seems that the smaller companies got ready for this, while the others tried to play the margins. Since most of the Governments are right-wing, they're all reacting to protect the investors or those that can play, and forgetting about the middle and low-income workers and businesses.

    Just look at our own CSB's. Up goes the interest rate from 3.44 to 3.51, while they drop the bank rate by 1/2 a percent, and the banks only pass on 1/4%. They're covering their own butts.

    If you're playing in investments, use the 60-30-10 rule. 60% in bonds and T-bills and cash, 30% in RRSPs, 10% in Las Vegas or the Stock Market or lottery tickets (throw away money). Works to CYA (Covers your butt.:cheers:)
