You know, not all Westerners are stoopid! I love high gas prices and
have waited decades to see them! The only way we can get off of the "oil
tit" is to make alternative energy sources economical. Expensive gas in
the short term is a definite hardship but cheap gas in the long term is
a serious detriment to Western societies and will not drive efforts into
producing new technologies which coincidentally create new jobs! As if
that weren't reason enough, a significant portion of those oil dollars
goes into procuring weapons that haters out there love to kill innocent
people with! No offense to peace loving Arabs around the World and enjoy
your Suburban's and Expedition's until we wean ourselves off your oil
and you can't give it away!

Gas prices expensive???
Here in Saudi Arabia the state price (i.e. nothing less or more than
the state price is available at any gas station) is .90 halalas (cent
equivalent of a riyal(dollar)) per liter.
i.e 1 Gallon = 90 US cents.
BWAHAHAHAH!!!
Almost every car here in Saudi is a V6 or a V8!!!
They love suburbans and expeditions here!!!

Our gas prices climbed $0.06 per litre yesterday, so we are at $4.27
US per gallon now. Just wondering what you're paying down in there.
