JonTheSavage Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 So is the Euro falling, or Dollar rising? Both have central banks. However, most oil is traded in dollars, especially in the middle east. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=news How much is gas in the UK? What per litre? Right now we are sitting on $3.59 per gallon. Higher in some states. Silver dropped again today to $16.70, from 17.01 yesterday. So some trading is going on somewhere.

JonTheSavage Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Gas is about 9 dollars a gallon in London.Ok, now here minimum wage is about $6-$7. What is it in the UK? I know it is higher.Gas is $3.73 now in Jacksonville, so high I wonder what the limit is going to be before people start rioting? Truckers are already protesting, rebelling, and refusing to drive. I talked to one fella this weekend that is on the virge of shutting down his trucking line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You know, we had a chance in the 1970's to start weaning ourselves off of oil (the last oil crisis, where the US government made shortages with price ceilings). Now the entire world, except for Brazil who decided to be energy independent, is paying for this mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSkylla Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It's right on Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs site. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk * £5.52 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older * A development rate of £4.60 per hour for workers aged 18-21 inclusive * £3.40 per hour for all workers under the age of 18, who are no longer of compulsory school age. That translates into: £5.52 - $10.73 £4.60 - $8.94 £3.40 - $6.60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Fascinating minimum wage they have in the UK. Now someone remind me how the UK (which isn't a Euro using country) has anything to do with the dollar rising against the euro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now someone remind me how the UK (which isn't a Euro using country) has anything to do with the dollar rising against the euro? Well, im digging into some stuff into the oil cartels, specificly OPEC. Export laws, and the UK import treaties vs, the EU import treaties. Dollar, and Euro vs, price per barrel of oil, refining prices, the tax on refining in each country, and the impact it has on different classes. Basicly I'm trying to predict an oil break down in the US. So far im thinking before the end of the year, but I can't say that for sure, until I'm done putting the numbers together.

Ugwump Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 gas 1.454 eur/litre as of this morning here in St. Malo, France (think that makes it around $10.15/gallon) seems to increase a cent every 2 or 3 days recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Marvin Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It's £1.10 a litre for petrol at the nearest Tesco (cheapest around for about 40 miles here) and £1.17 for diesel. I'll convert that to funny money when I get a chance :censored2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberzz Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 In California, the gas that we buy is about $4.50 a gallon. Minimum wage is $8.25. California FTW. Oh wait, this thread is about how the dollar is rising in value. Maybe the Economic Stimulus package is working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
