They just forecast fuel to be 1.80 a litre here in oz, which if I worked it out correctly is about 6.80 a us gallon. I don't know how that compares with everywhere else.
I was reading one of our auto manufacturers websites the other day and they were forecasting a major growth in fuel cell technology.
I'm not too sure if the push to alternative fuels is to save motorists money on the cost of fuel or to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels fro environmental reasons.
Anyone know what the split is for fuel usage between everyday motorists and transport (airplanes, trucks, trains).
