Petrol

I think it might be the age I am, or it could be that I just think in imperial measures but I always convert the price of petrol from litres to gallons so a $1.60 is $6.10 a gallon, my first car used to cost $5 to fill with petrol. Those of you that read my blog on a regular basses know that I believe that we have to live with these prices and that when you buy your next car factor in that petrol will be at lest $1 a litre more and now I am thinking you may need to factor a rise over the life of your car of $2 a litre.

If you are falcon or comerdor driver then start to think how big a car you need because you will feel the pain of petrol prices and to be honest start to think about the fact that the petrol will run out in 30 years and all we have at the moment are stop gap measures but not replacement for the inturnal combustion engine.

I feel sorry for the peple who actually need a 4wd, not those that have one in the city and waste petrol and demage the roads, to be honest I think the urban cowboys or should I say the urban cowgirls should be taxed off the road. You drive your tanks down to sip you latte and talk about environmental issues, you hypocrites.
