The poms might have really high petrol prices but their cars a half the price we pay for ours here and they don't do a quater of the driving we need to do here in Australia. Sometines I need to travel to Sydney (160 km) and back to visit family or the in-laws, most europeans wouldn't drive that far to go on holiday. We produce most of our own petrol and gas and to be paying $1.65 and 75c for these things is criminal. I sold my car last month and am now getting fit cycling everywhere. Good thing the air for my tyres is free. (but I wonder for how much longer??)
