Interesting thread to be sure.
Just recently the Australian dollar took a plunge from over US$1.03 to about US$0.94. As an immediate consequence the price of petrol (gas) shot from around AUS$1.18 or so to over $1.43 in about four days.
Naturally out of the woodwork come all the SUV owner begging "the goverment to do something!".
Aaaaggggghhhhhh.
Americans aren't the only whiners.
