OT: Gas gouging
Paying 95.9 a litre, works out to 2.61183USD per gallon(us) for REGULAR...
How bad is the gouging for you?
I'm just glad I get the gas miliage I do on this car, rather than on my old car. I'd be taking a loan to keep it filled.

I've given up on cars, I use my Mt.Bike and my old Schwinn with a trailer to get around now.My SUV is sitting in the driveway and I'm getting back my girlish figure .I live outside Philadelphia so I can pedal over the Ben Franklin Bridge and its also easier to get around the city by bike(free parking too). <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Gas aver.210. a gal. US.I Tomorrow I hear is gas boycott because of prices?

I know we still have the lowest price on the planet in the US. And I have 35 MPG on the Honda Accord. 43 on the Harley, and about 60 on the Buell. But the sailboat motor only does about 1/2 gallon/hour at 6 mph powering. Oh well. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

So the oil price reflects the costs now? Try living in the UK if you want high prices!

Boycotts or not -- I have a hunch that high gas prices are with us until late fall at least!
If you live in a metro area in Canada or the U.S., try looking up the best local gas prices by going to <a href="http://www.gasbuddy.com" target=blank>Gas Buddy Portal</a>. From here you can segue to your nearest metro area and compare prices...

As per most things money can buy, you guys in the US of A have no clue just how lucky you are with the prices you think are "outragous".
In South Africa we are currently paying over 4 rand per litre, soon to be over 5 rand.
Now, it is roughly 6.6 Rand to 1 USD, and 5 Litres if I am correct is 1 Gallon.
so for 1 Gallon we pay roughly 4.5x5/6.6=3.4 USD
And she just keeps climbing.
Remeber another thing, for a Spyderco Civilian 3 years ago I was paying 1500 rand, thats 227 USD, look at what you can get them for from BestKnives.

Let's face it - no country in the world uses so much energy per capita as the US. I'm serious about re-thinking about the monstruous "trucks" that many Americans tend to like so much. Worst thing is, it's spreading: Look at the new Lexus SUV, Beemer's X3 and X5, all the bland and shape-less Kia's, Toyota's and you-know-what.
But a Caddy Escalade or a Lincoln Navigator - THOSE you DON't see over here. I'll eat my words when I spot the first one over here.
