"Everything bad that happens today is Bush's fault." Actions have consequences. It's so OBVIOUS! It's IRREFUTABLE!

...maybe you aren't paying through the nose for food and gas, but the rest of the country sure is. I just left Munich by car for a quicky visit to my family in Lund, South Sweden via East Germany last Friday morning. Got back again via Rostock (3pm) and to Munich (9pm) yesterday Monday. Here is the interesting thing: Whereas we would normally face endless lines of cars around Munich, close to Leipzig and around Berlin, traffic was light and our speed was great (180kmh most of the time). Why, how come, what has changed??? With our gas price now is up to aro USD 9 a gallon in Germany, my guess is that most local drivers stay home and drive a lot less these days. Something like 35% less cars on the autobahn, great :) /Taro
