why are you yanks complaining about your fuel prices right now???

you get a gallon for less than we get a litre the last time i checked

you pay about 30p a litre (or so ive heard) for your 6.9 litre cars that no1 over here could afford to fill.

you dont need to complain until youve lived in rip off britain

damn tony blair and his freebies

if the money spent on his free holidays went into britain our economy would not be about to collapse

There are roughly 3 liters in a gallon. We pay about 3bucks in average for a gallon... So, it's about a buck a liter.

Theres 4.5 litres to a gallon, and a pound is on average $1.60. So we're paying £1 a litre = £4.50 a gallon = $7.20 - ish a gallon. Utter wank and a ****ing disgrace.

Lol

tha gas went up at a rate of about 200%, That's is the main reason people are complaining; Specially if you analyze the inflation rate.

I am just not convinced that the refineries in Louisiana had such a drastic influence on prices.

well we get taxed at a ridiculous rate on fuel (i forget how much but its easy to find out at college) and yet if the environment was the issue aviation fuel would be taxed....which it isnt

we also have idiot lorry drivers blockade the refineries to drive the prices up even further
