Fuel costs and travelling

Probably six months if the war stops tomorrow.
Besides fuel been a problem, unemployment and food supplies as we are now so dependent on imports. Prices of food will sky rocket when you think about all the fuel used by dairy farmers and the collection of milk to get to the dairies and then to retail distribution. Then there is meat and all other agricultural products.
I am *STUNNED* the Federal Government hasn't reduced the speed nationally to 90km/h to save fuel.
Damn glad don't have a mortgage and don't need a job.
Australia's 'plastic economy' is sure going to suffer. This country relies on the good life for its economy, and is no basis for a manufacturing and agricultural economy. Wouldn't be surprised to see unemployment rise to over 10%. There is going to be enormous pain for many.

I think fuel costs are a matter for individuals to consider taking their own circumstances into consideration.

I am more concerned about availability, rationing etc. I am not planning on going to the Cape but nevertheless my plans involve semi remote travel. I don't relish the prospect of having to camp for long periods waiting for fuel. The Cape could well become isolated if fuel is rationed (or worse).

I share your pain mate. Lets hope they sort it all out soon.
