quan50 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 wow where do you live. i wanna know where i can get a half tank on 10 bucks. because up here in michigan you are lucky to get a third of a tank on ten bucks let alone all the job loss that is going on around here. It is just getting way out of hand on every aspect. when you go to the pump to fill up a cavalier and it costs more than 20 bones. That is a big joke and there is no way to stop it.Quan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pizzicato 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 I always find it amusing when americans complain about the price of gas as we run close to $8 a gallon in the UK. Plus our taxes and insurance are alot higher to boot...makes driving in this country VERY expensive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLaKes 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 Here in Mexico gas costs 7.40 pesos a liter. Which is about .65 US cents a liter. In a gallon there is about 3.80 liters so that would be approximately 2.47 US cents per gallon here in Mexico, that is if you dont get robbed at the gas station because they are usually tricked or something. I find this ridiculous since the gas station is a monopoly here and therefore they set the price to whatever they want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brainless 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 same here, pizzicato :rolleyes:we're paying about 5 euros per gallon so you wouldn't even end up somewhere near half tank with 10 bucks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeAnn Rimes My Angel 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 Considering how far you can get on a tank of gas, and how fast it is compared to running or biking, I'd say gas is still very inexpensive for what you get. There's always an alternative which if obviously more economically friendly, but that means sacraficing your time in the day, along with a lot of extra physical effort which is taxing, especially for older people. Gas still pays itself off. In another ten years, it may double in price! Maybe what people don't like, is the fact it has gone up so quickly in the past twenty years, plus it fluctuates often weekly.

DanManIt 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2005 I'm from Ohio and I'm paying about 2.50 a gallon. I have heard that the United States has their gas prices much cheaper than the other countries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brainless 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2005 yep, it has ... I've just read an article which showed that it's german government which is responsible for the high gas prices in this country since about 75% of all the money spent on gas goes into the state's pockets (though I don't think that's too bad ... we just need some politicians who use the money to actually do something instead of shortening budgets everywhere without telling anyone where the money's supposed to stay instead...)

Xboxgamer1200 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 Well I feel very fortunate now, gas where I live is about $1.97 a gallon currently. I easily filled up my tank for $25, which will last me for two weeks at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
