I know, no worries mate.
But prices jumping $0.30 is hardly catastrophic for any economy, especially when it stays put. Our prices have jumped that percent on a daily basis and frequently. In January gas was around $3.00, February brought out 3.20, April was 3.40, now its almost $4.00 in my town. Thats a HUGE increase in a few months time. And if you go back a couple years its increased 100%. It has not done that elsewhere in the world.
As for your fast food being more than in the US, thats actually perfectly normal. The US based companies have to charge more in foreign countries due to taxation and imports for the foods and products. Whats messed up is you can buy 4 burgers for the price of 1 gallon of 87 fuel. HA!
Im glad to live in the US because we have freedom and we are all rich by the worlds standards so fuel prices will be tolerable in time when budgets can adjust. Americans all have cell phones, multiple cars and loads of food. So I will always be thankful for what I have, even though it may come to an end when the US empire dies. I just think the oil tycoons need shot down and their profits given back to the world.
