[Serious] Got Gas?
What is the price of 91 octane unleaded gasoline in your area? We are hitting record highs over here in LA. $3.19.9 
It costs me $40+ to fill my tank for ~5 days of limited driving (200 miles).
Seen on the news the other day it was $7.02.9 is Baltamore MD for just a day, though.

Re: [Serious] Got Gas?
Then think of it this way, your saving $$$ every week by not having to pay for gas.

Re: [Serious] Got Gas?
Makes me like the V-6 a lot more when I see $3.39 for Premium. I save .20/g burning the cheap stuff. I used to use high octane in my camaro, with a can of octane booster. (Highly reccommended) but it cost about $10 a can/tank.

98p a litre
that's about $2.26 Australian Dollars and
about $1.87 US Dollars per litre (about $8.50 a gallon which is how you gasoline is priced)
so please don't think you've got it expensive because you haven't, yours is a lot cheaper than ours.

Wow, didn't realise ours was so cheap. We are bitching and moaning about it but it is really a lot more expensive overseas.

Re: [Serious] Got Gas?
I was amazed that I saw no small cars on the Orlando roads. None at all! The smallest car I saw was the UK equivalent of a Cavalier.
The size of some of the 4x4s (SUVs) was just ridiculous!?!

Re: [Serious] Got Gas?
I just want to thank EVERYONE in the whole world for using their car. Making Norway the richest country in the whole world this year. We are now the richest country devided on people living in our country. We are also the country with the most savings. And we where again last week announced by the UN as the BEST country to live in. And that is the 5th year in a row they have announce..
So RobDog. Drive safe. Thanks.

I was being serious. Wanted to know why he moved but perhaps this is better left for another time.
I'd like to see RobDog's reaction when he finds out how cheap is fuel is

Re: [Serious] Got Gas?
So far I think Adelaide is the winner of the cheapest fuel constest 
Wonder why. Maybe cos we are closer to the main oil suppliers? ...

Re: [Serious] Got Gas?
Perhaps. It's likely because of your country taxing policies. I think the UK government charge about 70% tax on petrol, which means of course that if the price of oil goes up, so does the amount of tax.
