That's 4.85USD for 1US gallon of 95 octane Super Plus!!! (I belive "Super Plus" means "unleaded gas" ) So smile and be happy you are not pay European prices Hurrah. Someone is aware there is a place called "Not America". Last time I filled the car up, it was over £50. That's what, $80? Something like that. I did 218 miles on that fuel. That's what, 37 cents a mile. Every mile. In fuel alone..... Seriously, if you live in the US, you wouldn't know expensive fuel if a tanker load of it ran you over. +1 Here I pay about 1,40 euro for 1 liter 95 Fuel. I almost pay 100 dollar to fill up the gas tank. QUOTE(Fastbird @ Apr 19, 2006 - 2:48 PM) [snapback]423427[/snapback] The oil companies are feeling us out to see what we're willing to pay. There's absolutely no valid reason for how our gas prices have been raising recently. I've seen plenty of excuses thrown out, but no real reasons. I personally believe we need federal regulation of the petroleum industry here in the states to keep this incessant price gouging going. It's already being looked at in the natural gas sector, so hopefully it's only a matter of time before it hits the oil compaines too. Just give it a few more weeks until the oil companies start posting their rather large profits again and the government will start turning an eye towards them and they'll back off like what happened last fall. Thats also happening here. You dont here me complaining! About the prices. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
