I actually had to sell my SUV this year and go for a more affordable model for the family. Every time I call my family in the U.S. and have to hear how expensive gas has gotten, I have to remind them that the prices here are a lot higher than what they have to pay. It pretty much shocks them to know that we are paying almost the same amount for only a liter of gas that they pay for a gallon. I also agree that those living in the U.S. will have to adjust to the higher prices and expect them to increase in the future. It's not pleasant, but it's definitely inevitable.
