How can gas ($0.67) be cheaper than crude ($0.97)?<BR/><BR/>According to <A HREF="http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/sources/non-renewable/oil.html" REL="nofollow">this site</A>, 42-gallon barrel of crude yields just over 44 gallons of petroleum products. So how does that math work out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-10673637544304851382008-06-27T14:36:00.000-04:002008-06-27T14:36:00.000-04:00Semaj: Because HBO is pay tv, they expect that the...Semaj: Because HBO is pay tv, they expect that their product should have a premium on whatever medium it is on. Thus the high prices. <BR/><BR/>Arjan: Europeans get the shaft when it comes to pricing of not just DVD's but CD's, don't they? I remember reading ads in Uncut magazine for cds, and the prices were the same numerical amount as they were here, but in pounds. That is insane. <BR/><BR/>Megan: Saffron is produced from a very small segment of a particular flower, and thus, requires between 75K-225K flowers to produce a pound of the spice.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984793682474594967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-34604249721629429262008-06-27T13:22:00.000-04:002008-06-27T13:22:00.000-04:00That's pretty funny.

I bought S2 of Lost for around 28€ (instead of the 50€ it started with). Weeds s1 (10x 40min) for 25€.<BR/><BR/>400€ is way out of my league.
