So when you complain, just take a look at what IS going to happen and consider what size engine cars you drive, the Crossfire is a large engined car here in the UK.
We all know that the Brits have it "tuff" when it comes to high gasoline prices over there. We just figured that was a penalty you had to pay for driving on the wrong side of the road.
Just out of curiosity, as a Brit, how much did you pay for hospitalization insurance last year?
