Trust me, it's pain....wait for it....FULL!!!! And very much so, at that. What's worse is the lame excuses we're given for the lack of supply. Currently there's an idea being passed around to let CA open up their "winter" gasoline supply earlier than usual since there's more than enough of this gas. For reasons I'm not quite clear on, the "winter" blend is "dirtier" than the summer blend, nevertheless, if it brings prices back to being just "expensive" instead of "insanely expensive", I wouldn't care whether it was dirty, clean or anywhere in between.

Where I live, today's gas price is $1.18 a liter. That's $5.39 a gallon! And yeah....most of that is government taxes! Legalized robbery!

Here in Central Virginia, the price ranges from $3.43 to $3.59 per Gallon (US) within a five mile radius. Why is there a 15 cents difference in this short a distance?

Yeah wait until you price the Christmas ham this year or bacon next year. Mark the price of corn today and come back and talk to me next April. And I will leave you for tonight with this idea...and no where does it mention corporations. :)

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Yup - the good old Rip-off UK. Current pump prices here are £6.37 and thats pretty bottom line, here in the South anyways. Thats per UK gallon ...

Transposed into American makes this $10.27 per gallon when using UK gallons.


Sick huh ?

Over in the UK, petrol is closer to $8 a (US) gallon

It's more than that as far as I can work out. Average UK price per litre today is £1.38. There are 4.5-ish litres in a gallon, thats's £7.50- ish per gallon. £7.50 = $11.00!!!!

Edit: I didn't take into account the difference between UK and US gallons, but still...

Its not £7.50 per UK gallon

1 UK Gallon = 4.546 Litres

the current pump price ( at least in the south ) as i said above is coming out around £1.39 per litre

£1.39 x 4.546 = £6.31p per UK Gall. Slightly more accurate than my first calc, but only out by 7p

This equates to $10.10 at todays exchange
