	You poor dears!  "gasoline" is the equivalent of over 4 dollars per
gallon over here in the UK, the bulk of it taxes, and tomorrow (budget day)
they're more than likely to slap even more tax on.  As this article said,
perhaps if Americans had been paying what Europeans have for fuel, you'd
have been a lot more pro-nuclear!

	Personal thoughts only,
