Yes that's possible but then again petrol was a similar price in early 2009 as it is now. Ten litres of petrol costs about $20.
/rant ..I'm probably reaching that age where I start looking back at the
old days. I remember my parents and other adults' complaining about the increase in price of goods in the mid 70's when costs were spiraling up due to the govenments desire to inflate away the debt of the time. Nothing you could do about it then and nothing we can do about it now. Of course the level of debt is much higher now and the only option for our
leaders is to inflate it away over the next 10-20 years. Boiled frog syndrome. The masses won't care as long as their house price doesn't fall. /rant off
