58 euros? No way
Thankfully they accept Debit cards at gas stations or else I'd never have enough cash whenever I'm in Switzerland! |

I don't have sympathy for the actual prices, as they are still below what Europe pays, but I do think it sucks that they've suddenly shot up. Rather than a gradual incease in prices, let's say a dime a year, they've made up for the cheap gas of the late 80's and 90's by charging for it all of a sudden. Necessities like gas shouldn't double in price in less than 2 years.
I'm also not a fan of Exxon having the highest corporate profits ever for last year. |

| it's called we should start investing in alternative sources of energy...like brazil and the sugar cane(?) derived ethanol. they've been using ethanol to drive for about a decade. freaking big corporations and people who get rich on oil suppressed interest in it. |

It's not that easy, unfortunately. We're talking about a huge country and the lack of funds to switch to a new source. It can't all happen overnight, I'm afraid.
Certain car companies are trying to take steps towards becoming more eco-friendly as is seen with the hybrids. Surprisingly, people are buying them and said companies are making profit. While this may not be a different energy source entirely, it's definitely a leap in the right direction. |
