Wow. I'm trying to convince myself that it's all relative to the economies in those countries, but really, those prices are awful to look at regardless, lol.

Wow! Of course, for the Middle Eastern countries, there are minimal transportation costs. Still, that's just rediculous.

**Don't Speed On June 1st**

As you may have noticed, the price of oil, gas, and food has begun to skyrocket. This has really made life difficult for most of us. What I propose is that we make June 1st, 2008 a day in which we don't speed while driving. Yes, you may have to leave a little earlier, but the benefits are great. If we all decide not to speed on June 1st:

Our fuel usage will be lower (your gas mileage goes up when you slow down).
The demand for gas will be lower and will help drive down gas prices (the "don't buy gas on May 19th" scheme didn't work since people would either buy gas the day before or the day after, which only raised prices and didn't lower demand).
The price of food will be lower (the increased fuel prices affect truckers and raise the price of our food).
There will be fewer accidents (with more people driving slower, the roads will be safer).
You will help fight global warming (by decreasing the amount of gas we burn, we will lower the amount of carbon dioxide that goes into the atmosphere).
You will save money (by helping to lower the price of gas and food, you will save money and help others to save as well).
For all of these reasons and more, I would like to propose that we make June 1st, 2008 a day that we don't speed. Pass this along to everyone that you know and get the word out!

Thanks!!
