People people people... Grin

If you think $4 is too much for 1 gallon...then i really dont know what to say...maybe to go to vacations in Europe to REALLY see what word EXPENSIVE really means in terms of gas prices... Laughing

Here are some facts....here in EU...gas prices on average are around â‚¬1.3 -- $1.9 (with highest in GB at around â‚¬1.4 -- $2.1)...and all that PER LITER not per GALLON! Bang Head

So multiply these prices with 3.79 to get price/gallon. Thats around 1.9x3.79=$7.2 (around $8 in GB!) / gallon.

We pay almost twice the price you pay...and still...none complains that much....damn... Mad

But i am sure that majority of people here would jump to the sky to be able to buy gas for $4/gallon. King

Yet on the other side...any jump in price is bad...and if you were used to way under $4 per gallon....and now this...i can understand your anger...just like they would raise gas prices here to some â‚¬1.5....people would go to streets and protest for sure. Mad

Also...one thing to consider is that majority of cars (at least average ones) consume much less than in USA...around 10l/100km (or even 7l or less/100km for small cars)...thats around 23mpg (34mpg for small cars)...so if we add this into account....we see that you still pay less (although not that much).

Dont know what else to say....exept that in my opinion gas prices will go even higher worldwide....so alternative energy sources will need to become generally available asap (although i believe their prices will climb to high levels over time too...so there is just no one simple and cheap solution). Dont know, dont know.... Confused

God Bless America. Wink

(and if anyone...then you'll find the solution to all this mess King

)

EDIT:
Prices i listed are for Unleaded 95 gas....for Diesel they are some 10-15 euro cents higher (around 15-22 US cents). Wink
