by the way thats an average of 160.93 kilometers a day americans drive

Alot of Australians drive that much per day. $1.60 per litre.

Glad I bike to the office :D

When I was with adult.com/Playboy, I drove 35 miles each way to work. I drove a Ford expedition at the time and just driving to work and home I had to fill up every 3 to 4 days.

That truck has been parked in my driveway for over a yr now as I cant afford the gas to drive it. and just so it's known, there were a few employees who drove a great distance to the office daily then I did. I simply did not make enough money to be able to afford gas and day care.. this was almost 2 yrs ago, I can only imagine what I would be paying now.

I miss my job and everyone I worked with, but god damn.. I was literally going broke going to work

Your prices are high because half of the cost is taxes.

Relax guys. I think it pretty much sucks for everyone. Worldwide.

gasoline engines are terrible

get*cough*smaller*cough*engines*

Stop crying!

Oh and for the silly ww2 remark, If it wans't for us europeans you wouldn't even be there? Or you would but you would still be an indian :2 cents: Stupid post!

Mine is up to $4.59 a gallon here in Chicago. Apparently we have the highest gas prices in the country at the moment. Yay!

The news had said Chicago was the highest in the US.



:(

If my commute were longer than the 1 mile that it is, the current gas prices would be painful... But yeah, those of you who commute really long distances with large engined cars and complain about gas prices should consider maybe getting a smaller engined car? Or is that Unamerican?

I'm glad I work at home.

$4.19 for regular and $4.59 for super in NY : ( im headed to the hamptons this weekend and super i was told by my friends out there super is already $4.89

not a problem since i don't have a car! :upsidedow

but gas now here in my place is $4.20 :Oh crap

Fortunately we don't have to drive far - but when it's $47 to fill up my little Mazda, gas is WAY too high!

Glad I only leave to go do shoots, or run to the store that is under a mile away normally. :thumbsup

Will today it's $4.10.


shitttttt

:1orglaugh, sorry to tell you. we're a bunch of pussies. we rather whine than do something about it. if we're so tough why wait till it goes to 8 bucks a gallon...:1orglaugh

you dont have to pay for health insurance, you CAN pay for health insurance. for the most people here it's no choice, paying for health insurance is mandatory. i pay about $500 a month - on top of the gas prices

and regarding the commuting: no one forces you to buy F150 trucks which are absolutely useless for 95% of the people who own one. as far as i know there are also cars available in the US that do 40+ mpg

it was kinda sad and disturbing to know that everything will start to goes up, now it starting with the gas..what's next?

about $9.50/US gallon here in Europe

My wife drives 100 miles round trip for a daily commute. Most people I know have similar drives.

Europeans don't deal with that.

that is NOTHING you lucky bastards!

<--- See country!

Watch this movie...

looking into converting my car - 3k to convert it to GPL, 700 to run on bioethanol.

LPG:
advantage is pretty much every station has that option
disadvantage, I have to lose the place for the spare wheel to incorporate the new tank

bioethanol
advantage - can mix normal 95/98 unleaded with it, makes no difference. Gives more bhp to the engine
disadvantage - the higher octane rating is more corrosive to the engine. Life expectancy of converted system is only 10yrs. ~15-20&#37; less mpg than regular unleaded, esp on continuous cold starts (school runs etc)

Think I'll opt for LPG, cos this fuel price shit is nuts.

1.50 euro per litre for 98 unleaded, 60c for biofuel

Lpg
 

I drive LPG last several years. If everything works , this reduce price of gas for 40 or 45%....many people here drive LPG, and process also goes up, but still almost half price of gasoline. Anyway, there are already 2 stations in my town where you can buy Methane, which will reduce price of LPG, for 40 or 45% more.

Big difference, but from what I gather biofuels are helping drive the increase in food prices:Oh crap

yeah, but it's the wife that does the weekly shopping, while I fill up the cars :thumbsup:thumbsup

$1.30 a liter here and the shell plant you guys are getting your gas from is 20 miles away from the pump im paying that at.....

I hate that comparison.

1. The Europeans have mostly cars that go between 38-60 miles per gallon.
2. The Europeans don't have to drive the same distances than we do.
3. The Europeans have public transportation as an alternative to get to work.
4. The Europeans tax gas and re-invest the money in healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

I'd gladly pay 8 bucks per gallon in a 55mpg car, if I only had to drive 200 miles a month, if I had free health care and my kids could go to college for free.
