JM,
yeah it's funny how alot of things are more equal and others are WAY off!
Still, with regards to petrol, over here they are STILL obsessed with the HUGE 'Gas Guzzlers' (and as petrol is HIGH (for here) works out bout as silly! Way too many 8-12mpg vehicles on road here and don't know of a 'mainstream' 35+ mpg vehicle here (that is like a Texas Roadbump, i.e. weird and easy to run over with a truck :)).
