Because in Europe, they don't have to pay for anything else. Read above post by darksecret. Also thought I would mention, due to admitions requirements in America we get worse gas mileage. And, we have to pay for car insurance. Which is about $1200 a year average.

Ha ha theres a station right near my house that's at 3.19 a gallon now, but not even 3 minutes down the road there's a BP station with 2.99 a gallon, and across from that a shell station with 3.09 a gallon...

Funny thing is, there were still cars at the 3.19 a gallon station

2.99 here.

Let me guess you make about 300 to 500 quid a week also.


No. I make rather more than that as it happens. How is that relevent. I'd make more money if I moved to the US.

Because the bike is hard work at 70mph for 200 miles, and has limited load space.

Additionally, petrol is in my blood.

What on earth are you smoking dude? We pay for insurance as well, and I pay a lot more than 1200 bucks a year. We also have to pay 200 bucks a year to tax every car we own. I also pay 40% tax on what I earn, on top of national insurance and 17.5% tax on everything I buy.

The reason the US get apparent worse gas milage is because your gallons are smaller than ours.

Can anyone remember paying 80 cents a gallon? LOL I do!

Be glad you guys can find gas. Here in Baton Rouge you have to wait in line for about 30 min to get gas. Then when you get to the pump all they have left is premium. This hurricane is messing everything up. Baton Rouge doubled in population in two days. Everyone who evacuated from New Orleans is in Baton Rouge. Most gas stations dont have any gas left.
wow im irritated- bitching about gas when about a million people in the south have plenly lost , wether it be homes, jobs, ect.... The enconomy is going to take a big hit, if anybody hasnt realized yet, and in all honesty, gas prices her are still way lower than 90% of the rest of the world. Get over it... not only that, but owning a car in europe is WAYYYYY more expensive, long run, then here- esp. the U.K. I'd gladly pay 3.50 a gallon and not have to worry about the economy getting jacked over 10 BILLION in funds going to the south to repair what Katrina messed up... For real, dont go out to dinner those extra 2 times a month- now gas is back to normal... its not like we can control gas prices anyway... I hate how people just dont get the bigger picture. No, it's NEVER is going to go back down, so adjust while you can, people....

I paid $3.09 here for safeway Prem. (I use my club card too, its actualy $3.12)
You know what really sucks? I have to come home to this. And, in Iraq you can fill an entire tank of gas for ONE American dollar. That's the blackmarket price, too, which raises it 6 times. Rediculous? I think so.
well we're at 4.43/gallon (1.189/liter)... it's supposed to rise to 1.55 so that's like, 5.74/gallon

I'm just worried about all the big businesses leaving new orleans. If they leave thats going to lower the average income and put this area in an even worse finicial state. Guess I need to finish school and start looking for a job elsewhere. Birmingham Alabama is nice....
filled up today for 2.85 a gallon. For 11 gallons is was 33.50

does anyone remember filling the tank on 15 bucks??
