The first servo I stopped at had run out of diesel. A tank normally costs me $100 less.

There would be mass riots, people are already pissed and it's only $4 a gallon now on average.

And I'll add that even the Australian numbers are on the relatively low side with parts of Europe approaching $12 USD per gallon for diesel. Americans have no idea how cheap fuel is there by comparison.

At this point, I seriously question what would cause Americans to riot.
