TOM's point is a legitimate one.  Can we keep this topic train-related somehow?  Perhaps, discuss how this might affect the pricing of new products that will be coming out.

And, may I also kindly remind you to please keep these discussions civil and cordial amongst yourselves so that it doesn't get out of hand.  (With a topic like this, the potential is there.)

Thank you for your consideration.

Tom

It finally made it, how are the profits??? I just bought gas today $1.17 per litre (what's that @ $11.00 a gallon ? )    How ridiculous is this? you can just keep charging as much as you want, and life goes on.  How soon will it be $2.00 per litre?  then $7.00 ?? --sooner than you think. I guess it's no more insane than paying $450,000.00 for a 60 year old 900 sq.ft house, but people are still doing it, so I guess that $1350.00 brass locomotive doesn't look so bad now does it?  I worked in the oil patch when oil was $6.00 a barrel and the profits then were obscene, imagine now.

So, tell me...What kind of car do you drive?

I'm a newbie, but this is in this forum because?

What's a liter??

Maybe my Amish neighbors have the right idea after all...Horses or oil. It's still a load of crap!

Are you talking US or Imperial gallons? A US gallon is 3.7843 liters. That's $4.43 a US gallon.

Canadian dollar is so close to par with US that it makes no difference. $4.43 it is.

Imperial Gallon is 4.55 liters (rounded up slightly) so an Imperial gallon would be going for $5.32. Not quite $11.

$450,000 for a 60 year old 900 sq.ft house? That's a steal in the insanely overpriced real estate market of the San Francisco Bay Area!
