Gas Up While It's a Bargain

The French and the rest of Europe are up in arms over soaring gas and food prices. Truckers, taxi drivers, farmers and fishermen across the continent are blocking roads and raising hell.

Gas and diesel cost 2.5 to three times more here than in North America, where prices are still a bargain compared with the rest of the developed world.

Frightened politicians from Baltimore to Bangkok are pretending they can do something about high energy and food prices, or desperately are seeking scapegoats. Evil speculators or Arabs are the current favourite.
