Hi Joseph,
Sorry mon ami I'm not quite at the complaint stage yet, however at your 
prices I suppose I'd be a whining monster! :-)

What really tick's me off are all the oil company owners, not mentioning 
names and executives who are laughing all the way to the bank ripping us off 
going doing so.

Not to forget the damn governments who are wallowing at the trough with 
millions of dollars knowing they're screwing the ordinary folks while 
collecting previously unknown amounts of taxes.

Our own government also doing so.
