i LOVE this picture!!! i sooooo agree! =)

Are those Canadian dollars or somthing?

Actually... gas prices are -- get this -- a tad higher in San Francisco.

Of course, its about $5.79/gal in the UK...

Do you wanna know fuel prices over here in Europe and then re-consider complaining about prices that are even supported by an unacceptable oil-buying policy of your country, driving up oil prices in Europe dramatically?!? Be glad that you Americans don't have to rely on your own oil alone!

whoa easy there Martin. If you do some basic research, you'll find out that the reason for the much higher gas prices in europe are the european governments and their extremely high taxes on gasoline. it has nothing to do with any oil buying policies of the US. The US government taxes on gasoline are WAY lower than in Europe, and in certain cases there are even subsidies involved. Do the research and don't hate on Americans for this. The US has lots of problems worth analyzing, but driving up the cost of Euro gas is not one of them.

The price is wrong!!! Some stations raise the price with NO reason other than the fact that it's the weekend and more people will be driving further, using more gas! One of them in my town even backed off and lowered the price when it was obviously going to be a rainy weekend!

Sherle -- What exactly is "wrong" with a station altering its gas prices based on market conditions? Is it wrong to seek a higher profit when the demand for a product is going to be greater? Is it wrong to reduce the price if one fears that sales are going to be down?

~one/a few suggestion: ride a bike, walk if you can, carpool, buy a smaller car and drive that SUV over a cliff...~

@Kevin:
Well, actually I was referring to net prices. I myself fuel up in Belgium because it is cheaper than in Germany, so don't teach me about inter-country price differentials. But it is a proven fact, supported by many official studies and recent research, that your government is heavily buying OPEC and Northsea Oil in Antwerp because of decreasing domestic competitiveness of oil refining industry. PLUS, I was at no time offending the American people, nor stating by any phrase that I hate you guys. As a matter of fact, I feel deeply sorry for you people having to suffer all the hatred and anger all over the world because of the wanker a minority of you elected into office...

Thx & thread closed.

OUCH!!! I won't complain AS much next time we need gas here.

Gotta wonder if anyone is buying anything other than regular unleaded these days.

Gas dropped below $2.00 in Michigan this week. It's $1.99 next door, and $1.89 two towns south of here.
