But lets take a look at holiday driving, AAA predicts more cars on holiday trips then ever this year...so obviously 3+ a gallon isn't too bad on avg. joe consumer.

well actually in the UK average price is for diesel 96.9ppl and unleaded is 94.9ppl so times that by 4.546 work out to be about £4.40 pence per gallon and that's UK gallon so works out about $8.80 for a UK gallon which is less than your gallon. Don't think you have to much to moan about.
then on top of that we have the increased road tax which for a motor bought today works out at $600 per year going up to $800 next year. Then on top of that we have our car insurance depending on age and stuff can be anything from $600 up to $2000 per year. Not to mention the purchase price of the motor in the first place.
