it doesn't when you need to fill your gas tank at $4.00, every week.

American's get all hyped up about stuff that is really just completely blown out of proportion.

It's all perspective...

I can give two shits about gas prices.. I do not even look at them..

And I drive two gas drinkers..

78' Grand Marquis with a big 460 engine.. Gets 7 mpg

78' Ford f100 ½ ton.. 12-15 mpg

Before I would bitch and cry I would just buy a hybrid..

But I love my ol school whips so I will keep filling up at $80-100 a pop no problem..

It is a small price to pay to get from point A to B when I want to and do it in style..

Hope that makes you all feel a bit better, but I suspect it won't...

Nah...don't feel better because you guys get free health care guy.

That's all relative too. I don't consider a 30 year old land yacht to be style...

- Exactly... I'd feel sorry for them driving it, thinking they can't afford anything better!

7mpg! Thirsty Beast!

Lands End - John O'Groats = 874 miles

So 124 gallons of fuel needed = 563 litres x £1.14 = £641, or $1,268

Always new my high school math would come in handy one day

Hell, it's Friday...

I don't sweat it.... if it ever gets too high I will be going electric. Why the Euro dudes are paying that much and still driving gas powered machines is beyond me LOL

Why the US Dudes (General Motors) spent millions developing a perfectly good electric car, only to then destroy those that were made is beyond me

What really pisses me off is all the excuses. Fire in one country, storm in another. Well there has always been accidents where oil was pulled out and that never made the price skyrocket like it does these days. I know the dollar is REALLY LOW and the oil companies want to keep making LOTS cash but still... you can suck the world so hard it has to fight to survive and that's not pretty.
