China stockpiling reserves is also driving the market along wth speculators hoping for a fast buck.

At least it means the economy may be on the up ... What did I pay for super unleaded two years ago? Something like 1,70 or 1,80?

Hyundai Acc(id)ent rental car for the week. Fit rather well in the narrow streets though, but I would have had so much more fun on the mountain roads in a RWD vario 340... But the 95E there ranged from 1.06 to 1.14 or so.
Crete rocks, next time you go get an old Suzuki Samurai and go exploring
