your Gas prices

[stealthify]

As much as I hate how expensive gas is becoming here in the US (compared to the 'good ol days'), I'm glad I'm not paying what you guys are paying there in the UK.

From what I understand, it's all about the taxes though. You guys are paying a lot more tax for your gas than we are, and that makes up for a significant amount of the price difference.

Also, on a consumption level, the US consumes about 3x the amount of oil that you guys do. Whether this allows us to buy in larger bulk or whatever to keep the prices down might factor in a bit, but probably not as much as the tax situation.

Dave, a gallon is 3.7 liter! so thats $2.15 x 3.7 = 8, something

Yeah, I was gonna say his math is off. A liter is slightly more than a quart, and a quart is well 1/4 gallon.

US government source, to put it in perspective:

EIA - Short-Term Energy Outlook - Real Energy Prices

Adjusted for inflation, gas is pretty high historically...

I spoke to a photographer from the UK last summer and he put things into perspective for me as to how much you guys pay. I tip my hat to you folks...that is madness. Lowest around here is 4.09 for 91 and I'm ready to ride my bike everywhere locally and am already carpooling distant drives.

It will be $5 soon I have no doubt. Our current administration has no interest in haveing low fuel cost as it only adds to "greenhouse gas" that will cause "global warming" and kill us all. When GWB was pres everyone looked to him as a oil man that is looking to profit either himself or his friends, this in turn kept the media after him. The current pres however doesnt seem to take any heat for the significant rise in cost. Sorry to get political but you cant really deny its true.
