We will never have alternative fuel sources until the Bush cartel has wrung the last red cent out of fossil fuel for themselves...environment and our children be damned.
One thing to remember is that the Bush Cartel has a life of it's own aside from controlling through the presidency. It's been helpful but they will carry on when GWB is out of office.
I remember my parents figuring out in the 70's when they could line up for gas....I walked alot.
1.69 self serve, regular unleaded-Boston
paid 1.66 near boston.
I really do not understand the hoopla about gas prices.
yes, I know that right now it is a completely artificial increase, but in GENERAL, gas has never been 'expensive' in my mind.
People complain about how the price is exorbitant, yet they will unhesitatingly pay a dollar for a 16 oz bottle of no-name water.
Rationale, please?
A gallon of gas takes you 20-plus miles. Water makes you pee.
The new prices here in Austria.
1.049 Euro = 1.16009 US Dollar per liter.
I don't have a car, but the price for heating oil is up too.
That is now 0.520 Euro = 0.57507 US Dollar per liter.
$1.89/gallon for premium the other day. Car's good on gas anyway, so I don't care. Like Stike-dog said, it's not 'expensive' here anyway. Wait until it hits prices like Europe.
Stike, where can you get a 16oz bottle of water for only a dollar???
slappy, that Mini of yours is good on gas AND looks cute, too. you are SUCH a little lady-killer
I dunno where water is a buck a bottle. just seems that's what i've paid when i bought some (like, on vacation and you grab some at a friggin grocery store. "Al's Bungwater, Miami Beach, FLA"
It's not a Mini, thilly, it's a yellow VW bug. With a flower in the dash.
(hey slappy, get outta here, me an' li'l k gonna 'chat', mkay?)
I'm taking my kickball and going home.
Converting litres to gallons, the cheapest was $3.65 per gallon yesterday.
we are up to $2.17 per gallon for regular unleaded
$1.54 today at Costco for regular unleaded
$1.54 today BPS for regular unleaded
$1.45 to $1.55 in NW New Mexico.
G'night Pueo.
Tell you in the morning...
64.9 cents a litre
That's Canadian money.
Rate of exchange (more or less, I've never seen it fluctuate so much):
1 Canadian $ approx. = 76 cents U.S. or 99 cents Australian or .60 Euros
1 litre = .2642 U.S. gallons
Soooo....about 1.87 U.S.$/U.S. gallon
........I think, unless I screwed up my math. *heh*

We DO have very high fuel taxes - which I support - as they encourage fuel conservation and, in the transport industry, rail transport - though diesel is cheaper, of course. They also get used for roads etc as well as other things.
heigh ho!
We use a far higher proportion of our own oil than does the US, so the US$ shouldn't mean a thing. Basically we are robbed blind by both our government and the oil companies.
