About $9.50 for a US gallon now here in Norway. Has been over $10 some places, and it keeps rising. Don't come here for fuel.

Just filled it up last night @ $3.81 gal. Cost me 50 bucks. But the math told me that the last tank got me 15.8 mpg.

2 days ago in Columbus area $3.51...typical 3.62 Yesterday 3.80

Not that it has anything to do with it, directly...
Market price per MBTU {million BTU} natural gas in north america = $2
While Russian natural gas in eastern Europe {Gazprom} $13

So much for letting governments regulate prices.

The Government is a joke. They say this and that just to control us. Why do they pass laws but dont pass laws to regulate the law they passed? GREAT EXAMPLE: Car Insurance.. law says we have to have it, but the law does not control or cap the amount we have to pay for it. WTF?! And dont get me started on the Feds.. they just took my financial aid away 2 terms short of me graduating because I am maxed. No appeal process or nothing.. just thats it. I told my financial aid lady Im gonna have to start selling crack now just to make ends meet ha ha.

Ok back on track, gas here has gone up 6 cents to $3.84 for 87 Octane. So much for the media saying gas prices are dropping!

hey, here's my 2 cents, we'r getting f^*ked over by the gov't taxes !! here in Canada anyway, it's crazy what the Europeans pay, guess it's just higher taxes for the most part, you gotta keep all those Greeks alive right?
