[Digndoug]

Well.. it spiked from $2.63- up to $3.51 in some places.. an thats for regular. what are you guys getting screwed with. and i know this topic is coverd a lot, but do you guys really think the prices will go down ever?

Let me guess you make about 300 to 500 quid a week also.
I don't know much about the UK but my secretary worked in a nursing home in Port Lincoln, Au as an aide and made around $50,000 USD a year, but also consider the average American family pays between $400 to $1,000 a month in medical insurance where aussies get free medical, plus we rent our land from the governement regardless if we have the deed or not, skip a taxation and it's all gone, so yeah you pay a lot in petrol (even though it's only about $2 USD, the rest is tax) consider the fact that it all gets evened out in the end. BTW as long as Venezuela is paying 12 cents USD a gallon (as of yesterday) everyone has the right to complain.

Now on to the subject it jumped to $2.99 but there isn't any fuel left here.

Also for Kadett, it's 6.48 USD or $103 for a full tank, but the UK is around 75 cents USD less per gallon so yeah the Netherlands owns everyone, but as before Europeans also make more than americans. Here's a link of gas around the world in USD:

No. I make rather more than that as it happens. How is that relevent. I'd make more money if I moved to the US.

why are u euro guys still driving at $7 a gallon?

Because the bike is hard work at 70mph for 200 miles, and has limited load space.

Additionally, petrol is in my blood.

Because in Europe, they don't have to pay for anything else.  Read above post by darksecret.  Also thought I would mention, due to admitions requirements in America we get worse gas mileage.  And, we have to pay for car insurance.  Which is about $1200 a year average.

What on earth are you smoking dude? We pay for insurance as well, and I pay a lot more than 1200 bucks a year. We also have to pay 200 bucks a year to tax every car we own. I also pay 40% tax on what I earn, on top of national insurance and 17.5% tax on everything I buy.

The reason the US get apparent worse gas milage is because your gallons are smaller than ours.
