My calculations are on UK gallon.
Why can't you all use litre? And why do Americans even need to mispell it? Chaos, all chaos :( :D |

We do in this country, I think the thread starter was just trying to make the prices easier to understand for the Americans. |

Let me say this, as an American.
Americans in general are a bunch of whiney ungrateful little bitches complaining about a mere 10 cent increase in gas.
Maybe if they shifted their priorities and stop purchasing those POS SUV's so they can be the walking manifestation of penis envy, they wouldn't have to spend so much on filling up their Goddamn gas tank.
We should be happy for the price we pay in gas, considering what the rest of the world pays for.
I guess there are tradeoffs, as we get cheap fuel but detuned imported cars, while the Europeans get expensive petrol but the real deal in performance cars. |

Actually i was trying to make them realise about how high the prices in the rest of the world so they'd stop moaning about their $2 a gal fuel. :D |

if you know where to go I can get gas for as little as $1.40 a gallon, but I usually pay around $1.75 at most stations.
its a good thing its not so expensive b/c my V8 SUV is old and gets about 13 mpg nowadays
being American does have its perks:) |

Yeah, like getting detuned European or Japanese performance cars, or even worse, not receiving the badass cars that are available overseas, like the Ford Escort Cosworth, M3 CSL, Porsche 911 GT3RS, Opel Speedster, etc. |

I don't even drive an SUV, and I don't bitch about how high gas prices are. Hell, they can go $3-$4 a gallon and you won't see me bitch and cry about how high gas prices are.
Hell, I do HOPE gas prices hit that high. Hopefully that would spur faster and more improved mass transit and the death of SUV's, not to mention fewer people on the road. |

Hugely popular rally car in Europe, will kill any POS Cobra with less displacement. |

and SUV's rock |

Yeah, until they flip over :haha:
If you want to get an SUV, at least get a VW Touareg V10 TDI or a Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
Would you rock this? :cool: |
