Default Idiot German man burns his BMW in protest of high fuel prices

What a stupid stupid man.

Well, one thing's for sure. His BMW won't trouble him with low fuel mileage ever again.

German burns BMW in fuel protest

An unemployed German man has set his car on fire in protest at rising fuel prices, police say.

He drove the black 1995 BMW 3-Series car onto grass near a Frankfurt conference centre, emptied petrol over it and set it alight.

By the time the fire service got there, the car was burnt out.

There have been demonstrations across the world against rising fuel prices. The price of oil is trading at record levels of over $140 (£70).

"The Bavarian... said he carried out the act because he was unemployed and could no longer afford a car due to the high cost of fuel," police said in a statement.

He was released without charge but could still face charges for breaching Germany's pollution laws.

Did it ever cross his mind that maybe, just maybe, he could sell the car for money!?
