your complain is about economics. not sars.
the euro dollar has been rising steadily against the us dollar for
quite some time. when it was 1st introduced, it was close to our
value. last nov/dec, it became on par with the US$. it's not
surprising that it's gonna overtake it, and that prices of european
goods will increase.
it's just a matter of common sense and foresight.
in the end you could always just get a set of tyres from japan
instead, the yen vs singdollar rate has remained quite stable for
half a year and more, and i don't foresee their value going up
anytime soon. instead, our value might go up.
