Okay, I complain about the price of fuel like anybody else here in the states. But try and keep thing in perspective. I went to Qatar (2006), gas was about .27 cents per gallon (USD). I was in Ireland last summer and gas was about $7 - 8.00 (USD) a gallon. Gas prices do suck here, but it's worse for people in other areas (like Sierra Leone..) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_usage_and_pricing#Average_gasoline_prices_around_the_world
