Default Fuel prices

Unleaded petrol in the UK has now reached £1.42 a litre, which is equivalent to $8.5 dollars for a US Gallon. Wondering how long we can keep spending this sort of cash to keep our cars going. I am sure this can't go on indefinitely, wages aren't rising over here.

Sadly I believe we haven't seen the worst of times yet. Just enjoy each day, be glad you are able to pay it. Gas here in the US on the west coast is over $4/gal. For a Country that was raised on cheap gas that is HIGH. We paid a $1.50/gal when you guys were paying $4/gal.

Edmonton alberta, pumps have read 118.9 a litre for a couple weeks now... What pisses me off is that we have billions of barrels under us, but we pipe the crude south of the border and they pay less for refined fuel than we do where the oil came from... We need to refine the oil here, and pump the final product elsewhere... Sheesh.

My drive to work is 75km twice a day... Even babying the 5.3 still costs me a hundred bucks a week.

And the wifes suburban 5.7tbi takes $170 every two weeks...
