Just think about this

Just think about this….

In the year 2000

1 $=1.2 € Cost of 1 Barrel of Petroleum = 60$

Thus

1 Barrel = 72 €

Today ( May 2008)

1 $ = 0.63 € Cost of 1 Barrel of Petroleum =115$.

Thus

1 Barrel = 72.45 €

Can I ask a silly question?

Through out the years 2000-2008 the price of one barrel of petroleum raised 0.45 €

Why do I pay for my car fuels at at least 2 times the price i payed last year?
