All things considered (COLA, OPEC, wars). gasoline is still a pretty good value.
Unfortunately, my cappuccino machine does not have a setting for steaming gas to top my lattes.

seriously - isn't it a bit weird that gas is cheaper than milk? also regarding the fact that milk is more or less just put into a bottle while we have to do a lot of magic tricks to get the oil transformed into gas and have that delievered to gas stations and all that stuff?
and although oil will end some day while we will probably still have cows?
doesn't that make anyone think about a better handling of resources?
