To expand:
The breakdown of MUFA, PUFA, and SAT is fairly similar.
Macadamia oil has a ratio of 6.3:1 of O6:O3, and olive oil is slightly higher at 13.1:1
Interestingly enough, Cordain is a fan of canola oil, due to the high MUFA content, and O6:03 ratio of 2:1, which (he describes) as being optimal.
