and how we try to cope with prices at about 95p a gallon. ( current exchange rate $1.96 = I pound)

Only the last item is available the others require a subsription to Time. But that article alone points out that all the politicians are Nero's fiddling whilst the world burns oil!!

SUV's and gas guzzlers are no longer necessary. I have a new Merc E-class, 1746cc, 146 HP, and I get 42 mpg on a long run (we are full of Autobahns), and 32 mpg in town!. So it's not just size, it's efficiency. My engine is the most efficient that I've ever had.

Good article Bazf.
