Yeah that is a nice price. Wasnt too many years ago we were at about $2/gal nationwide. Then $3 the last few years. But you really notice when it goes to $4. Then it is getting expensive. For us Americans anyhow.
Of course we have way more distance to travel than most European countries which is a factor. Plus if things go higher it drives food and trucking costs up. So we would prob have go to war with someone (the American way hehe
) before going much higher.
Edit: Actually we prob are already at war over oil. Why else would we be in the middle east last 20 years.
And prob noone drives gas hog trucks around in Europe getting 15/gal.
Yes I do have a more economical vehicle too.
