I worked it out this morning that Australians have already been paying US$3.70 
per gallon (without discount vouchers) this week and no doubt the fuel prices 
will climb here this week as well.....

I thankfully don't use a lot of fuel (1.8L 4 cyl engine - 4 minute drive to 
work). However, I wont grumble at fuel costs because there's people all over 
the world suffering a lot worse issues...

Cheers,

Drake.
