All of the above. Maybe with different discriminations than UT, but still. No one is blameless here.
Also, I heard that gasoline prices on the continent hit EU1.99/liter. That translates too...$17.96/gallon. So us USians should stop bitching ![]()

There were "gougers"* trying to charge £1.99 in parts of the UK (there was a fuel delivery strike), according to the BBC.
* If the market will bear the cost how is that wrong? People who cry gouging seem to be the same ones who cry about life being unfair. |
