I'm fortunate that my car [even though I don't drive yet] is small and doesn't use up too much fuel at a time so my parents use it more and more. My parents car is a V6 so obviously it uses up a fair bit of fuel, my Dad barely uses it now since the cost of fuel is ridiculous.
Yeah I saw some shots on an episode of Insiders or whatever that show on ABC is called. Showed prices a tenth of a cent under a $1.60. $1.59.9 a litre. That's more than I thought it was at now...

It's not unlikely it'll be $2 by Christmas at the rate it's steadily increasing. The worst bit is I don't honestly see people going for cars with alternate fuel sources which could be a good deal cheaper later on...
Most have their flaws, even if the 'flaw' is just a lower top speed. Even if it is illegal to go that fast on most roads anyways.
