Petrol here jumped from $1.25/litre ($5.68/gallon, or $4.73/US gallon) to $1.30/litre ($5.91/gallon, or $4.92/US gallon).

I was going to convert this to $US to see what I'm paying, but then I remembered I don't get paid in $US. I get paid in $AU (which is currently worth US$0.76)

I went from a small economy car this year to a Jeep 4X4 I inherited from my father (which I just love). Thanks Papa, but, damn, that little economy car sure would come in handy right about now. I travel alot, and have seen gas in California anywhere from $2.85 to $3.50 a gallon. And at 15 mpg, that hurts. Just can't part with the 4X4 just yet. Only thing I have left of Papa's of any real meaning. May have to park it and use it for specific things, and invest in a little put put. Damn. I am sure we are all in the same boat. The whole world is suffering from this problem. Seems like someone out there set us up for this somehow, the powers that be somewhere on this planet, or maybe a combination of powers that be (and I am not one to believe in conspiracies either).
