Damn i feel sorry for you people, i actually thought we had it expensive in Australia but i seem to be very wrong. Yesterday the price hit the highest it's ever been at $1.30 which im guessing is around $US 1.00 a litre of unleaded petrol.
Damn those prices are very bad, i remember when it used to be 70 cents in Australia and that was only a year ago. |
Lets do the math. One gallon = 3.78541178 liters. So you're paying around $US 3.78

Most of the countries around the world especially the third world countries have been paying these prices since past decade. Ironic aint it?? :rolleyes: |
w3rd, europe has been paying these prices for years. they really could give a rats ass. they are probably laughing at us now thinking, "what da blu'ee hell are dey cryin uhboot??"
i see it as a positive thing. a great incentive to find an alternate means of fuel and also a increase in mass transit services and the development of cities. tampa for example, is spread out far and wide. if i want to go to the grocery store, i have to drive, i have to drive to school, i have to drive to the mall, i have to drive everywhere i want to go. in berlin, u can get anywhere you want by great bus service, by bicycle, or simply walking. thats the way it should be. |

Yes, you pretty much described the entire USA not just Tampa. And I have no clue why they (now we) are making so much fuss about it (when its the richest nation).

Here in the UK we're paying the equivalent of $6 a gallon here all year round.
You don't know how lucky you are with your cheap stolen fuel. :p |

I don't believe the US is ready for the tiny autos like Europe has, although I've seen a few Mini Coopers and some of the new model Volkswagen bugs around. Problem is they're death traps against the hulking SUVs and big pickup trucks prevalent on the highways here. You need to be driving a tank if you're going to smash into or get smashed by another one with some hope of survival.
Have also seen some lame at best attempts at energy efficiency with new Hybrid cars here by the auto industry which use battery/gas engine combos. Only problem beyond the $10,000+ price tag over the ordinary is that such cars tend to use six cylinders with the hybrid when four cylinder versions of the same vehicles get better mileage than the hybrids. So the hybrids are still only being driven by the ecologically chic high middle class as conversation pieces.
:eek:

almost makes you wish bridgestone, firestone, ford, chevy, GM, and the petrol companies hadnt banded together in the 40s, used front companies to buy up all public transportation systems and then dismantle them
Thats what the supreme court thought too. So they charged each CEO...
*drum roll*
1 THOUSAND dollars!
