I have to agree with Meadandale…be careful what you wish for. If you belive for a second that a more severe hike in gasoline/petrolium prices might improve things, you might be surprised.

Unfortunately, petrol prices are in an upward trend and the winds are against us. For those that read the European news today …Aleksei Miller, Gazprom CEO, said:”Petrolium prices will get to $250/barrel soon & natural gas to $500/1000m3″

The new way to fight America is NOT a direct war but a financial war…..we’re stretch thin & financial troubles are our weakest point today (with wars, financial problems, banking problems…… our people’s morale is tanking w/ higher unemployment, inflation, FEAR of some terorism)…..the final strike..

This might explain today’s comments by Russia’s president Medvedev,which went something like this -I translate/paraphrase: “He,Medvedev, will NOT accept economic advice from the USA mostly because USA should not be in a position to provide such advice ( under today’s econ circumstances – I read)and the US’s economic/financial role in the world is overstated and does not correspond to its real value”

I tell you that it won’t be long before it moves towards $5/gallon. in fact I’ve read an interesting article in the EU press, and the US is the cheapest game in the civilized/developed world….here are some of the examples (includes taxes as well..which are unique to each country)

Assumption: US vs Euro rate $1.55 to 1 Euro & 3.78 litre/gallon

COUNTRY Euro Price/Liter US Conversion/Gallon
1. Norway 1.64 Euro $9.60/gallon
2. Holland 1.63 Euro $9.55/gallon
3. Belgium 1.56 Euro $9.14/gallon
4. Finland 1.49 Euro $8.72/gallon
5. Portugal 1.47 Euro $8.61/gallon
6. Italy 1.47 Euro $8.61/gallon
7. France 1.42 Euro $8.31/gallon
8. UK 1.41 Euro $8.26/gallon
9. Germany 1.41 Euro $8.26/gallon
10. Austria 1.29 Euro $7.55/gallon
11. Romania 1.28 Euro $7.49/gallon
12. Irleand 1.25 Euro
13. Spain 1.16 Euro
..
..
..
New Zeeland 0.96 Euro
Australia 0.91 Euro
USA 0.63 Euro $3.69/gallon

Look at the figures as a trend and ratio….it seems that we’re always about at least 1/2 of what the rest of the world is paying…..it won’t be for long. Our driving habits will change and the little cars will start popping up everywhere.

P.S. This week the trucker in the UK were on strike due to DIESEL prices going above the equivalent of $9 US/gallon.

Regardless of one’s budget for gasoline, there is one thing this country should learn. If you are in the “FAST” lane on the freeway doing 65 mph….get out of there – if you like driving slower – move to the right. If someone wants to burn gas/diesel allow them to drive faster……I am stunned how many times I’m behind a minivan in the fast lane – it creates a mile long line….and the “driver” is clueless……..BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS (traffic)…

I bet these drivers would last 10 min on the road anywhere else in this world……(to be kind of course).

I guess this should go under the pet peeves trend….but it’s somewhat related
