I also like to use grapeseed oil. It has a smoking point of around 420 degrees, so it's great for stir frying and sauteeing. It has a pretty neutral flavor, so I also use it for salad dressing and mayonaisse. I don't live in the US now, but I know you used to be able to get it at Trader Joes. I don't know where else, but I imagine Whole Foods probably has it too.

And don't forget sesame oil for Asian foods. I use plain and chili sesame, it gives a great asian flavor! I will often add a splash of it on to food after it's cooked and toss it or mix it. It isn't too heavy, and a little goes a long way for flavor.
