stop bit-ching about the price of gas

my dutch friend said he's paying 1.46 Euros a liter
US gallon = 3.785 liters
5.5261 Euros/gal

5.5261 Euros = $8.71

$8.71 / gallon!!

Big difference given their infrastructure over there. They actually have a public transportation system that works! More people use public transportation than cars.

And I'm gonna bitch as long as the price if diesel is over $4.00!!!!! That's a buch of horse hockey!!!

that's the reason why everyone rides trains and bikes.

the dude when to get his car inspected today. his inspection sticker cost 175 Euros. that's ridiculous as well.

Actually, what I meant by infrastructure is that gas is not as readily available over there as it is here in the US. They don't have 4 gas stations on every corner like we do. So simple supply vs. demand dictates the increase in their price. At the same time, the governments have done a good job of setting up public transportation that is affordable.

Public transportation to Europe is how gas is to us. It's a necessity and not a commodity. I would imagine if their rates on public transportation were as volatile as our gas prices here in the US, they would have the same complaints as we do on gas.

They have really fuel-efficient vehicles there as well so the oil companies need to make money somehow. They also don't need to drive the distances we have to.

Steve's mom loves pubic transportation.
