 Hi Arthur,
No I don't feel hard done by paying what we do, it's the life and times of 
today, only to get worse. :-( And as long as our Federal and Provincial 
governments are collecting a total of 41% taxes at the pump per litre we are 
going to continue to be screwed...

As I'm aware of the costs in other countries due to my assignments about the 
planet over the years, quite frankly I always felt sorry for you folks in 
the UK when I'd arrive home and realized how "cheap" our fuel was.
