See, in Seoul, to my eyes, drivers aren’t day-labourers, office workers, company people, or students. They are business developers, cab and bus drivers, delivery agents and the most affluent.

In a city of 45 million, car ownership is very, very low. Parking is very difficult to find — or own as city units must separately rent, lease, buy, or borrow a parking spot for a car.

If any large East Asian city could successfully ration gasoline, its Seoul. Public transportation is efficient and inexpensive. People remember the war and hardship. People respect tradition, unity in struggle, and are willing to fight together.

That’s the Seoul I remember anyway.

They imprisoned their Insurrectionist former President.

For life.

oh cool that’s less than half of sweden’s gas price from mid-pandemic when it topped out at 25kr/l. we’re back down to 16 now, after the government removed the requirement for environmental additives. last time i saw 11kr/l must be at least 20 years ago.

Oh how I wish petrol was only 95p a litre here.
