#2 Haven't bought a bottle of drinking water lately have you? at a buck a pint that's four bucks a gallon.
Gas is currently around three bucks a gallon.

Solution, stop being ripped off, drink from water fountains. or fill your own bottles from your own faucet.

#4 Laphroaig 10 year-old Scotch costs $200 dollars a gallon. Drink enough and you won't worry about gas prices.

#5 Saturday a BP station in the Chicago Loop advertised unleaded regular at $4.04/gal.

Iranian customers should pay an open market price.

#6 So this would suggest that turning up the economic pressure on Iran will show instant results.
This front may become active sooner rather than later.

#7 Good economics is bad politics in Iran as well as in the USA.

The value of the stocks on the Tehran Exchange has been moving downward since 2003 or so. There seems to have been a big sell off (about 4%) in the past month or so.
