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.

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.
