Trust me, you don't. You think gas is high? It's roughly twice that down this side of the world mate. Same with just about everything else. And Politics here are no different than back in the states. Except instead of government focusing on screwing other nations over, The old crusties down here like to anal **** their own populace.
Yea and it costs around that for a gallon in some areas. I know Texas is around there. California is at nearly $3 a gallon last time I checked but that is still cheaper than Aussie. oh and BTW, it's $2.10NZD per litre of 91 octane here in NZ.
