WTF images for today

[Norgarth]

The speculators on Wall street driving up the price of a barrel of oil by taking consistently long positions without bothering to go short?
What is it, $5 a gallon in the States now, of which 46c goes to ye're government and 7c goes to the garage. Where's the other 4:50 go?

Drillers, tanker operators, refiners, and all the other middlemen.
(And it's just above $5 a gallon in Canada - about $1.25 per litre, depending on where you are and which fuel station you patronize. It's cheaper in the States.)

just over $1.28/L in my neck of the woods  (3.8(?)L/gal so about $4.88/gal) and that's the lowest I've seen in 2 weeks.
The one upside of getting laid off is I'm using _way_ less fuel.
