There's a reason Canada's dollar has soared.

oh yeah, the oil thing's just really catching on here. And there's lots, it's just it hasn't been worth the effort to get it out till now

Institutional investors are basically causing the price to go up, by "flipping" contracts on oil to make more and more money.

By why would that make airlines charge less than it costs them to fly? Given the pricing on jet shares, I feel like that math can't be right. Yes, I looked into jet shares when a lot of travel got so crazy.

Because they're being buoyed up by the government, for one

and secondly, the shares have an intrinsic value because of the value of the equipment involved. Planes cost millions.

my current ride:

Peugeot Partner Combi Quicksilver Ltd Ed.

60 Litre Tank, thats 15.85 US gallons

Fuel is £1.29 per litre,

which equates to £77.40

or $153.19

most of that is duty and VAT (Value Added Tax), now i'm sure duty is tax, so why the heck are we taxed so heavy? twice!
