Took me $60 to fill up my tank. Hopefully it'll last me 2 weeks at the most.

Yeah $5/Gal gas is coming...
a lot of public transit systems are severely underfunded though so you'll see price hikes everywhere, especially buses.once that thing hits $5 I'll be on the public transportation
question, do local gas stations really water down gas?
I've been paying around $8 for a year now.
You know the worst thing about all this though? - it's not just basic economics. The same bankers who have screwed us over mortgages and credit card interest were gambling on oil futures - like any stock. But like the libor problem they weren't gambling - they were artificially reporting figures which would change the price of oil so they made more money in the future - so the cost has ballooned in the last couple of years more than it should have.
That does't just influence the cost of gas in your tank but the cost of basically everything - a loaf of bread is 10c higher and so is everything else.
They've basically screwed the whole world to make a few million for theirselves. People need to go to jail but so far not much has been done.
well you must be wealthy/rich
you live in sweden, monaco, uk, denmark, norway?
i can list a few more
are EU gas prices that much higher to reflect the average distance a car can go on a gallon? i mean of course that can vary but are mpg standards for certain cars, that much higher or is it just better technology?It does make me laugh when people say things like "30mpg ftw" - you know that's awful right? Sure, it's better than a V8 but for 2012 that's not an economical car, it's average. My 12 year old Volvo gets mid 30s on mixed running - and near 40 on a decent trip. It's just a basic 6 cylinder 2.4l - the diesels and the new ones get much better mileage and some of those new clever engines (VW have a powerful 1.4 TSi) get silly numbers.
Go to jail? I'm for public executions of these scumbags.I've been paying around $8 for a year now.

Companies have invested in that for 30 years and the modern engines are technically good - but can still get better.
