technically,,,,,,gold holds a greater monetary value.
worth in importance,,,,, oil would be the leader by far, over gold.
gold doesnt make the world go round,,,, oil does though.
they dont call it "black gold" for nothing.

Rarerity will determine's some things worth. And current market demands!
And to be honest, oil is running out. Gold will theoretically always be here: albeit in many different forms.
Oil is, or will become rarer, therefore oil is the more valuable of the two!

Everything uses oil. Cars, Energy factories, heating etc. This means that we use Oil a whole load more than gold and thus it is far more important.

gold is, by referring to the stock markets, but oil is in more of world demand, so "valuable" in which way. Valuable because it is in higher demand or valuable because there is a lack of it

Depends on your perspective. If you like nice jewellery and lots of stuff you can buy with gold, then it'd be gold. However, if you are thinking in terms of having something to fuel cars and industry, and keep machines etc actually working, as well as generating heat and electricity so people can, well, stay alive, it would be oil, wouldn't it?

I think is GOLD.... because the currency of each country s base on how much gold they have...however, our vehicle use oil everyday, which result the price of oil raise, but maybe after 10 yrs~~the sources of energy might be "electricity", which we can find the evidence from Honda hybrid, Toyota Prius, ect (Half gas, half electricity car)........

Oil. They call it the black liquid gold, and look how much has been spent on the Iraq conquest to secure the fields. Next target is apparently Iran.
