Dunno - I know the American Gallon is "different" - I used 3.78 litres
as an equivalent. Our dollar is worth 90c American - its not getting
worth more, yours is going down against the rest of the world. This is
good for me, I can afford to buy Chinese tools cheaper from the states
than I can here...(go figure THAT one!) - now, if your postage prices
were not so outrageous....(bloody liberals again...)

Sorry Andrew - I should have clarified. I'm posting from VK2.

Well, that was an "oops" moment!. .....petrol here is hovering about
$1.44, will be interesting to see what it gets to on Tuesday, thats
the traditional bottom of the discount cycle. Papers reckon it will
hit $1.50 by the end of next week. (Bugger!) I am relatively lucky,
only do 1 long trip a week to TAFE, (metalworking course) - the rest
of the time, its local short distance stuff. And I can choose when I
go out, so don't waste fuel sitting in traffic jams.....ever had the
thought, crawling down the "freeway" that this is bloody ridiculous -
have the urge to pull into the centre median, get out the portable gas
stove, brew up a cup of tea. Stick a sign out, saying "why are you
doing this - stop for a cuppa - stop being a lab rat. " - if enough
people did it, then, maybe, it would be recognised as a bloody silly
way of moving people about - all at the same time - endless oceans of
cars, usually with one person in them, stretching into the distance,
moving at less than walking pace.....
