yeah i can't believe you guys are complaining! We pay round about a dollar fifty PER LITRE. Thats about 6 or 7 bucks a gallon. Sure it is NZ$ and you might want to factor in the exchange rate - but then if you consider peoples income there is no way around our being ripped off.
Hrm.
i think...
that certain peoples in the world can't afford for us to leave gas alone and use viable alternatives such as hybrids and more importantly electric and hydro. The alternatives are pretty good and getting better with time. Why doesn't the government offer some assistance (such as a tax back) to people buying into those alternatives?I like to think...
That people have the potential to be the conscience of the earth and our future generations. i reckon we should save the oil. who knows what novel use of it could be developed? and it is a finite resource. in fact... you could think of our using it as our stealing it from future generations... and there are alternatives.still... there is money in them hills i guess...
