Those numbers was for my scooter, it is my "daily driver". I mostly use my car(s) during weekends so the cost is insignificant.
^For one of the few times, I agree with you! Me, agreeing with a leftie!
Gas is expensive here, but if anything like this happen, people wouldn't care and just fuel their cars with ethanol. That's one of the best things in flexfuel cars...
You Brazilians have huge natural resources for growing the stuff. Europe is too little and too full of people, I think. But I'm still afraid that if everybody would start tanking ethanol in Brazilia, food and ethanol prices would skyrocket too.

I do think that something must be done to compensate for this escalation in fuel prices. I'm not so sure that a reduction in the taxes on fuel (which is about 75% of the price in Spain) is a good solution. I have the feeling that fuel companies would increase the price artificially, and we would be back to square one once more. .
Here we have daily riots, mannequins being thrown through windows, people running in the streets for no reason while looking either above or behind them, spontaneous explosions for no reason at all and street gangs that are culturally AND racially diverse roam the area with an 80's soundtrack to accompany them.
^Yeah, I think in most of Europe there's fuel duty, which is a fixed amount per liter, and then VAT on top of that (which is a %). Double taxation ftl.

Yup, we (The folk that moan lots and like queues) pay 57p tax on fuel as Fuel Duty then 17.5% VAT. I think VAT or Fuel duty should be reduced, if there is a lack of fund (quite possible in this current down turn) just reduce it on diesel to keep the cost of transporting things down.
