I would dearly love to come over and visit !
Sorry, I just thought I would bring some perspective to your debate.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I know Europe's higher prices are because of heavy taxes. How much of your fuel cost is tax related? Ours has much less tax, then the average European gallon.
Australia is a big country, and the driving probably compares very well to the driving in this country. Thats why cars like the GTO that you guys sent to us, are so great on the highway.
