Interesting reading.
So fuel prices over ther dropped from roughly $4 per gallon to $3, and in 2010 over half the vehicles sold in the US where SUVs or pickups. Be interesting to see what happens to their manufacturers when fuel rockets back up then - they're miles behind the rest of the world in the economy stakes!
It is crazy tho, it was about $1.90 per gallon when i was there in 2005, and we drove our 3.8 V6 hire car for 2500 miles through six different states.... didn't feel it was expensive at all
