    They use mostly aluminium, except for chains and sprockets.

    I've been thinking of getting one of those tiny Honda motorbikes for around town. I worry though that there are so many half blind elderly around the area that I'd be roadkill in days.

        Glad I don't drive, but the price rise will hit us all eventually.

          Maybe it's time to move before everyone else tries to do the same.

                  I wouldn't complain either if I were living in a tiny country. My daily drive to work is 45 miles one way.

                    Finland is roughly the size of Arizona, and is very scarcely populated. A 45 mile one-way commute (in real-world units that's around 70 km?) or longer is far from uncommon. Deal.

                              Damn China! We might as well bring the steel industry back here.

                              Infact, that's a bigger difference (percent wise) then the gas price change I think.

                              What was gas back then, 90 cents to a dollar a gallon right?

                                Crude oil is at record prices, getting close to $80 a barrel.

                                It is not only fears of a regional war, but the dispute with Iran over its nuclear program as well, and instability in Nigeria.
