That is totally true.

The price hikes barely affect me (no car, little motorised travelling) directly. However, these hikes do have an effect on the amount of US$ my gf is making, as the South African Rand seems to be a bit more susceptible to decrease in value relative to the US$ and the Euro.

Duke is it me, or are you driving an extremely heavy car? If you do the offroad thing, or go through mountainous areas, I can understand. But it makes little sense for me to drive a tank, especially with the fuel prices as they are.
