People v petrol

When Americans are taken hostage by a hostile foreign power the reaction of the British people is concern over the safety of the individuals in harm's way.

When Britishers are taken hostage by a hostile foreign power the reaction of the American people is concern over petrol prices.

Cheers.

Just a note. What the fuck is so terrible about 4 USD for a US gallon anyway? Current British prices are around 90p per litre which works out to around 6.40 USD per US gallon. This is a more realistic price given the damage done by the internal combustion engine.
