I'm the 20th post... not a bad turnout for a topic that wasn't meant to be.
I saw $2.20 today, per LITRE, not gallon.
let's get it on , ah yeah

Hmmm, over here we have to use cars in most places too, especially in my city.
I think our petrol is a little more expensive than yours, if my maths is right that is - which it probably isn't - we pay the equivalent of $US3.89 per gallon. Except here it's sold in litres of course which was what made the maths tricky.
Anyway, we pay $NZ1.50(ish, depending on the octane) a litre, which worked out to $NZ5.62 a gallon. People whose cars take 96 octane are going to be pissed off becuase 96 is being replaced with 95, so those people who have to have at least 96 will have to buy 98...
Ka-chingggg for the petrol companies!

Lisser just posted this for the Google ads. She's in cahoots with the gas companies.
I suck.
OMG! I'm in love...
Whenever this topic comes up, Americans say: "yes but we have to go by car here, there and everywhere, that's how God made us"
Wrong. I am NOT saying people should not own a car and use it. But it was not planned by nature that one country uses up the major part of the global oil ressources within a few decades. Which country are your children supposed to invade to get the remaining oil - and your grand children? In other countries people pay much more for owning a car and they need it, too. If a big country like China would use that much per capita, there would not be any oil left within 5 years.
Smaller cars, alternative energies (bio gas), a public transportation system - if this is asked too much of innovation for the biggest economy in the world, then it's only a question of time until you have no petrol left at all. And it won't be about other countries: there won't be any oil, period. And in the end this may be the only way to save this planet because the biggest economy is also totally unwilling to help saving us from a clima catastrophe by reducing the CO2 emission and other greenhouse gas emission.

I would LOVE to have public transportation!! I hate having a car payment, paying for insurance, and gas. If I could get on a train or a bus near my home I'd be in heaven!!! It just doesn't happen in my neck of the woods. Hopefully one day it will. I doubt it though.
Zeni.......SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! You'll get your cut!! ;)

Many Americans would use a public transportation system if it were available, but in most places it does not exist. If you want to go anywhere you must have a car. Public transporation is just not a choice for many people. You also don't get cheap internal flights in the US, like you do in the UK for example. It's something that you cannot really appreciate until you have lived in the US.
Gas may be higher in the UK but health care is free over there. Over here you have to pay for health insurance, which is expensive. It all balances out.

Oh yeah..tell me about it!! I'd be scared taking the bus here in Columbia..:-p
It's just not feasible for America to have great public transport everywhere. It's way too big..

I agree. Zeni made a good point about this already in another thread when this was brought up. She compared the population density to land mass of the Czech Republic to Minnesota I believe it was. We'll never get public transportation every where. Only inner-city people have access to it and you are right Erin, when you get in to the inner-city it is not safe.
Pieter is also very correct about the cost of health insurance. I pay over $500 each month for health insurance and another $100 for dental and eye care plus co-pays of $15 for each Dr. visit, plus at least $10 per prescription. Mulitply that by the average 4 person family in the USA. It does certainly add up. I have excellent health insurance. Most people have deductibles of over $1000 they have to pay out of their pocket before their health insurance will pay one penny. I consider myself very lucky to just pay $500+ every month.
Let's make a new country and all move there. We'll have cheap gas and free health care.
And burritos for everyone.
