Why oil is so expensive!

Check this out. This sheik in Saudi had his A8 dipped in PURE SILVER. Not silver in color, in PURE SILVER! If you've got it......

Talk about bling! No one should have that much money.

When someone starts dipping their car in silver, then definitely they have so much money that they have no clue what to do with it.

Now how ignorant people can be .
I will clear some things (I live in Dubai)

1. This car is a UAE registered car. I saw it once in Al Naboodah AUDI (I do own Audis).
2. The car is chrome plated
3. We pay 1.5$/Gallon- Thats not too far off from your prices. These prices we have been paying since last 5 years (before it was cheaper by 10c)- So guess who pays more!!!

This car pic comes up frequently on audiworld.com - This car has UAE plate - who the hell is this MTM photoshopper?
This car is 2000 MY. I have never seen this car on UAE roads(I drive 100k KM/Yr on this 10km across city or 400km across country!!)

Saudi - I really dont know anything about that country other than that women are treated third rate(they cant drive cant go out alone and cant show any part of their skin). I think fuel is approx the same price as here in Dubai.

$1.50/gallon is much cheaper than what it is here in the States. 91 octane is just under $3.00/gallon. We can't even get anything higher than 91 octane here in California unless you are willing to search and go out of your way. I know our friends in Europe pay close to double what we pay.

I saw a mirror polished SL500 at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. It looked just like this Audi. I think I have some pictures at home and I'll post them.

You've got it backward, bozo. Oil is not expensive because of this. Oil is SO expensive that these folks can afford this kind of luxury.

My bet is that the paint was done with this firm's product. Nice stuff they have. I was looking to having my Vette have some mirrachrome flames. bling bling.
