Rob1647545496 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 http://www.autoblog.com/category/lifestyle/ http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/expensive-license-plate.jpg While fuel prices continue to ratchet up and put a squeeze on all aspects of the world economy, times are flush within the borders of major oil producing nations. So flush, in fact, that several Emiratis found a total of 9.8 million dollars to indulge in low-number license plates at a recent auction. The fascination with distinctive tags is a world-wide phenomenon, but $926,000 for a plate that says "50G" is uniquely asinine. If that's what our last few fillups helped purchase, we're going to bike more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 i got an idea, lets just rob a tanker. why don't you just go hang out with the rest of the Somalis in c-bus then, they'll help you out. I don't see why people get pissed off about this. I doubt anyone has a problem with Paul Allen's $300m yacht Octopus that was paid for with money earned by a near-complete monopoly on the technology sector for many years. Just because it happens outside America doesn't mean its any worse than what goes on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The price of oil has very little to do with supply shortages It is mostly due to the devaluation of the USD $$ and that oil is priced in USD. So as the USD becomes worth less and less on the world market, the price of oil rises for us, and stays unchanged for the rest of the world.
