Ouch...gas price highest I've seen here
Well, it finally happened! Our local Chevron station (the one I almost always use) listed Premium Gas/Petrol at $4.02 per gallon!
For the last 2-3 weeks, it's been fluctuating between $3.91 and $3.97...but this morning a whopping $4.02/gallon. But compared to Canada, Germany, UK, Australia, Norway ($8.00/gallon) we shouldn't bitch...but what makes me mad, is that in other countries with high fuel costs, the taxes on gas goes to public works/schools/healthcare...not in Fat Bastard's pocket. On a positive note, maybe this will make American's realize they don't need a Surburban, Excursion or Hemi to go to Ralph's/Kroeger or the Piggly Wiggly! It will hurt families though on a very tight budget. Kinda does suck all the way around...unless you're a CEO/CFO for an oil company

Well UK Petrol/Desiel is running at about $8.30 - $8.80 for a US gallon (assuming my sums are correct). and thats rising on a regular basis at the moment. Add to that cars cost double in Europe yet I guess European wages, well the UK anyway are not double that of the US. Im supprised were not all on push bikes over here!

Interesting, prices on the east coast are falling..slightly. We were around $3.50 now down to $3.45.
As for those across the pond, let me know when your prices double in less then 3 years...so when you're paying a USD $16.00 a gallon..then you can complain  Until then, why do you need a car anyway..you have mass transit and your country is the size of a US state  j/k

Well that doesn't quite equate now does it, again...double or triple your previous price and then you'll be in the same boat....I wish ours only went up 25%.
