It has been a roller coaster ride for car owners over the last 6 months; fuel prices going up up up, and then quickly dropping down, only to go up again.

On-going talk about recession, Somalian pirates and the fluctuating US dollar all add to this uneasy ride for motorists.

But there is a brighter side to higher fuel prices:

• less cars on the road means less pollution and congestion
• the lowest road toll in years
• a rise in the use of public transport
