Venezuelan oil is some of the trashiest oil on the planet.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

@Slide Rule

Interesting to see that diesel is cheaper than gas in Germany. That sure as hell ain't the case here.

It used to be the case here,though. Back before the first "oil crisis". Gas was maybe 29 cents a gallon,and diesel was 19 cents a gallon.

Amazing how the first GAS SHORTAGE resulted in diesel fuel suddenly becoming more expensive than gasoline,ain't it?

IIRC, right in there, there were new regulations passed demanding that diesel have much lower sulfur content. That may be why the cost went up. As for refining, diesel is a straight up distillate of oil, not a blend like gasoline.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You are probably right. I had forgotten all about that.
