The only questions are who is surprised at this, and which hole in the sand did they have their heads in? (Probably an exclusive diet of American media.) I'm going to keep right on driving my Suburban for the nonce. That way I'll be able to drive it while fuel prices are stil low. $4.00/gallon? You ain't seen nothing yet nohow. And if McCain gets elected, expect it to go up faster than if Obama gets elected. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
