I agree, but around here there is a bright side: Even if fuel prices
are increasing the larger effect is that Norway as a country earns a
lot of money. Our pensions are secured .-)
The smart thing to do for the future is to develop alternatives, find
other ways to produce fuel.

I do understand the wider consequences of rising fuel prices; I
just wish that our society hadn't become so dependent on the stuff.
To be honest I'm far more concerned about the effects of rising
property prices, but this thread is OT enough already.

about every aspect of your life, from the cost of basic foods to home

NZ$1.70 a litre for 91. It seems to go up on a weekly basis now,
but
being predominantly pedal-powered I find it difficult to care.
