    Thank goodness I don't live in Gibraltar any more.

    I suspect their number has as much to do with their massive fuel bunkerage facilities serving a worldwide market and airport serving southern Spain as anything else (including their overreliance on UK-Export goods). Still, if anything, it shows you how interdependent countries' oil consumption habits are.

    As a Euro, I rely on high Chinese consumption for my cheap goods and high Yankee consumption for my media and tech goods - doesn't matter how small a part these play in my day to day life, I still rely on them.

    We're all guilty, is what I'm trying to say - even sanctimonious, pseudo-parsimonious wannabe-fascists like me.
