    $50 = £25 = dreamland. £75 to fill up my car in the UK, that's $150..... And yesterday a couple of gas stations hiked the price because of a fuel strike, if I'd filled up there it would have cost getting on for $300....

    I know it's all relative, but spare a thought for us over here!

        I always put it in perspective with what you guys have to pay over there.

        I doubt it's supply/demand...well maybe a bit. Tack on a slew of speculators/trading on the futures market, and that'll certainly help drive it up, which it has...

        $4.00 basically where I'm at give or take a few pennies.

                You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

                "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

                        seriously tho, isnt higher octane gas a waste of money? there are ways to take care of your engine without paying even more for gas

                                Isn't it all relevant though?? I mean, the cost of living is different here than it is there...So, paying $4.00 for gas here and you paying what ever you are paying there could be about equal in terms of cost of living, no??

                                    plus isnt public transport in Europe a hell of a lot better than in most places America? I know in Florida and NY other than NYC is useless and very impractical

                                                        unfortunately not!!

                                                        we arent paid exceptionally well in comparison to the rest of europe or the states.And i have to admit the rising fuel prices is causing me havoc with my cash flow. especially since i use the car quite a lot.

                                                        as phazon said in the UK it costs the equivalent of $150 to fill up. we aren't paid 3 times as much in the UK, let alone here in Italy.
