    No offense to you Americans but in terms of real costs, you guys have some of the cheapest petrol prices in the world. A price that is way cheaper than you will see in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. Sorry but its hard to feel sorry for what you see say as high petrol prices, when the rest of us are paying even higher costs. Now lets see, exactly what type of cars do the two of you drive? Are they economical vehicles or are they gas guzzlers?

    I would be interesting to find out really. As if they are bigger vehicles, well I wouldn't be sorry about it. But as I don't know what you drive. I can't exactly judge you on that.

    The petrol companies love high prices, I mean have you seen what Shell and BP made in 1st quarter profits? Why they were up by 25%. Cutting government taxes won't do it. And more supply does not necessarily mean lower prices. And even if prices do become lower, they will be negated in no time, as we've probably reached the stage where high prices are permanent. Its of no real interest for carmakers to make cars that don't use oil. Although you know, if General Motors and Ford could get off their arse and make the stuff. Well then maybe they wouldn't be rolling in mountains of debts. But thats not the case, instead they keep making cars that the rest of the world do not want and that even America increasingly do not want. Another thing, if America didn't evade Iraq, I doubt oil prices would be so high. If I were you two, get the hell use to it. One day, you will join the rest of us, who are getting taxed more and more and more especially with the Kyoto treaty and stuff that is putting even more taxes on our petrol/oil. Thus our prices are much higher in comparison to what you pay.

    You americans are pretty lucky if you ask me. I'd kill for the price you guys have. So meh stop your moaning.And either adjust your driving or how often you use it or get use to high prices. Because I'm sorry but its here to stay.

    I don't know the prices for oil in America, so I can't compare, but let me just say that fp is right about at least one thing: we all feel the sting of those price increasements...

    You know, the world is pretty messed up, if you'd consider.
    I'd say a lot of people today acknowledge to a varying degree the Earth has been polluted by mankind, yet still, ecology is, as ever, only improved in ways that economically profitable. And admit, an average Western inhabitant is so used to his own luxury, he couldn't cope with out it and rather just ignore the outside world in favor of exercising his couch hanging skills

    Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to ironically prove my own point by eating some junk food from the Yellow Arches FastFood Corp., and spending a large portion of my afternoon in a movie theater seat.
    Thanks Orion, for my reflection...
