This is a great country, but it sure has it's fair share of whiners. I lived in Australia 17 years ago, and gas (petrol) cost 95 cents a liter. That's nearly $3.60 a gallon. With the exchange rate in place then, it worked out to roughly $2.80 a gallon, U.S. dollars. No biggie. Italy pays over $5 a gallon today.

Hell, my truck get's lousy mileage, and I don't enjoy spending $35 to fill both tanks, but the fact still remains that gasoline, even at $2.00 a gallon, is dirt cheap. Fortunately, it's still $1.55 right now, but I've heard it will peak around $1.80 by June. Still a bargain. Still cheaper than milk. Still cheaper than bottled water.

Stop whining.

Take care,
