Petrol price up to a new high ($2.16)

[Edbear]

We used to say that about the south island.

I remember when petrol reached $1 per liter and people said that was the end of the world.
Who remembers the 'carless days' stupidity and the colored stickers that denoted your carless day. When it rained or you washed your car some of the stickers changed color and the popo couldn't see what your carless day was.

I thought the same when petrol reached $1 a gallon... That was in '74 I think.

I will continue to have high fuel costs...and so be it, I enjoy driving and riding, I don't really drink much so I judge it my alternative beer fund.

Yep, same here... barely ever drink alcohol... no time with shift work and kids. Milk will likely go the same way as long as I can keep riding.

I grumble as I put gas in the cage - now it gets used stuff all. Laugh when I fill the scooter.

It's still cheaper than milk. You should be bitching at Fonterra for pricing traditional food staples out of reach of low income Kiwis.
