The rising oil prices look like they are here for a long time. The supply of oil is only 1% above demand. Storm damage in the US, strikes in Venezuala, Norway, problems in Iraq and Nigeria are ramping up prices.
Sydney is around $0.96c a litre (1 gallon = 3.785 litres). Except my 'economical' 4 cyl turbo Saab convertable runs on 98% octane which is around $1.06. I only get 13.5 litres per 100 k's or about 17.5 mpg.
