U get what six weeks vacation whereas most get two-three.
we get 4 weeks plus xmas. but you get more single holidays such as this friday coming... which if it fell on a wednesday or thursday, would essentially mean a half week for you guys no?

Plus because we work more hours...we drive more hours creating higher demand on fuel than say you.
this makes no sense, unless your work entails driving, which for most people, it does not and with increased communications technology, should not.

Only difference now is our demand is still high...and prices are even higher than the curve should allow.
the curve? what curve? its a seller's market is it not? and so it is hardly going to fall in unit price.

in fact, considering the bad press given to fossil fuels, reducing its use would be beneficial for all, if the climate change hype is to be believed.

Ok off to "Party in the Plazq" good band playing tonight I wanna see
ah ha.... so your driving to a concert presumably adds to the fuel consumption you attribute to 'work'?
