People in the US are reportedly changing their holiday plans - after petrol reached the "ridiculous" price of up to 50p a litre.

Troy Green, of the American Automobile Association, told CNN that Americans should expect the price to go up another 25 cents over the next month and continue to climb over the summer.

The most expensive city is San Francisco where commuter Debbie Jasmin has stopped driving her gas-guzzling 4WD and started taking the subway to work. She's also curbed summer travel plans.

And suddenly, subways are an option. I wonder what they will say when fuel prices reach the level we have; currently, $2.28 per litre.
