Diesel is going through the rafters here in the USA, but the price is no where as dear as it sounds like over there.

On one topic, I can't see how you all cope with it, but yet you have the cars and lorries designed for it.

On the other hand - if it's on the rise in your part of the planet God help us all! I had not thought it could BE more expensive.

Have people begun putting hitching posts in their front yards yet?

The obvious other half being that anything that must be transported will now reflect the cost of the fuel to manage it.

Food
Goods
Parts
Service work
Transportation in general
(shipping)
I bet postage stamps are on the rise too
Etc...

If it cost something in fuel to put a thing in your local shop, pub, or store - watch it cost more now

All I can say is thank GOD for the internet!

As things are going at this point, the best way to go on vacation (holiday, as it is called in many places) is to cut a stave and wear good walking boots.

Mark my words here well - the cost of fuel being what it is will bring back the Age of Sail!

In a way, I think a modern version of it would be wonderful! Use the planet itself to deliver goods.
Surely some way can be found.
