I'd like to say I feel your pain....actually I'm quite glad that I can't.
Luckily work pays for all my fuel including private kilometres. If I had to pay for the work km's I'd be better off on the dole for sure.
We're paying around $1.90 for diesel here in Port Hedland (up to $2 in some other towns I visit) and I'm averaging around 1000km per week for work and private use. Getting only 7km per litre (it's a new Patrol still running in with lots of wind catching accessories) it's getting near $300 a week.
Of course the wife also has a car but it's a new Micra which has a fuel tank the size of one of my cylinders so that hardly hurts a bit. A tank lasts her about a month as everything is within about 15kms unless you're heading out of town for which we use the work car.
I feel sorry for the grey nomads who saved all their lives for their one big trip and now can't afford it because of the fuel price. Poor buggers.
