is that a gallon or a litre? AFAIK its by the gallon over there right? we sell ours by the litre, whey do you think your country has so many big as trucks an shit? you wouldnt EVER see a 20yr old over here in a toyota.

price at the garage next to me is 79p per litre, theres abotu 4.5 litres in a gallon so that means that for a gallon of petrol over here it costs us £3.55. so in terms of real money ours is far overpriced compared to yours. now if we translate that to dollars (exchange rate being 1.8 ROUGHLY at the mo) that gives us 6.39. so there you go yours is 2 dollars ours is 6. now tell me how is your expensive? i think you shousl stfu, i lived in america for 18months over the last 3 years, so dont tell me what i 'dont' know about your country. and dont coment on how europeans think they know abotu america, coming form the single most naive and close minded country in the world (and youve just proved it cos EVERYONE in the fuckin world knows US petrol is EXTREMELY cheap)

EDIT: oil is a world economy, if production drops dramatically in one place the price goes up everywhere.
