Wandering way off-topic, what is interesting is just how big the cultural difference is between the US and Europe on this point. Cost of petrol here is several times what it is in the US and yet we're talking about further taxing it under the banner of "green taxation".
I watch the Tour de France religiously every year. I’ve noticed in the last two years that people who camped in tents along the route have been replaced by walls of recreation vehicles (I believe they’re called caravans in Europe). Has the price of fuel stabilized or dropped or is the economy doing so good that the fuel expense is no longer a consideration?
