Just been pondering on prices of fuel.

For ten years now I have had this dream of seeing OZ as a Grey Nomad.

I have been working towards this goal. I have got myself a 4wd and a camper trailer (which I may upgrade - not sure)

Now that I am there in age (but still working) I am starting to wander if I can really afford this type of life with the prices of fuel.

If it goes to $2.50 a litre you want be able to go far without busting the budget.

It annoys me when the petrol people and polies say we have cheap fuel in OZ. If so be the case - how many people in England travel 800km in a day. I did that a few weeks ago and just got back from a near 500km drive.

May be I should buy a horse and cart :) . I am sure if I did that then there would be a special road tax for poo removal or something else.

Just wandering what other people think of the future.
