Anonymous Coward User ID: 4547295 United States 10/06/2012 06:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nothin goin on here in NJ. Gas is $3.85 and it's business as usual! Did just top off my tank though, just in case... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5240732 That's because California has a special blend of child's blood in our gas, so we have a shortage in California while other states don't have such bullshit in their gas and do not have a shortage. Massachusetts has the same exact blend as Cali for a fact and their prices are always 30 cents cheaper. |

Show them who is in charge and they will drop the price. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23570095 In California the small independent gas stations are out of fuel. They are being pinched by the big boys and in my opinion are being purposely put out of business to complete the Cali monopoly of the big three Satan Oil. They manufactured a fake shortage just like Enron. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22322054 In my country we have to pay 1.89 per liter, a quick calculation says that's around 9.50$ per gallon. But most of the money we pay for it goes directly to state, who uses the money for public transport, healthcare and much more. is that what they're telling you its for??? not for the repayments on a giant yearly loan from the ECB or Rothschilds banks then or anything.... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24954425 United States 10/06/2012 07:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whats it feel like to pay real prices eh??? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1546575 I just calculated the real price we in england are paying for Diesel for instance. You dont read this on GLP because the conversion is not that simple, so most dont bother. september 2012 UK diesel price = 145ppl (pence per Litre) so thats £1.45 per litre. I converted the litres to US gallons and then converted the pounds sterling to US dollars, the result is $8.84 a gallon. Thats what we pay for diesel. have a nice day,. Like how big is England? How many Englands can fit in Texas? When you have to travel over 60 miles EACH way to work, at least that far, gas is a major factor in a person's life. Don't keep comparing countries where you can swing a cat over your head and touch another country, to the USA. have a great day. You can fit 3 englands in one colorado , and they have 80 million people, guess who is fucked when the ME goes up in flames ? LOL |

BTW, how many people in the Netherlands have a commute that's over 100 miles per day? I'd bet not many, and if they, they can take public transport. We don't have that here.

ronny forgeron User ID: 24285396 Netherlands 10/06/2012 07:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The size of a country is not important, but how many miles/km's are driven at average. In the Netherlands and Germany the average number of km's driven in a year is 13.000 roughly,Canada 15.000 km in the US the number of miles 12.500. So people in Europe really spend more on gas than you assume, has nothing to do with size of the country, they drive for business and holiday all over Europe |

Average distance between work and job of a german commuter is ~44 kM (= 28 Miles) (half time of yours) and Germany fits two times into Texas (half size of yours). The proportionality is the same. Why the hell don't you move nearer to your job? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24817500 wtf? "processing fee" for use of the credit card machine, and the companies that process the transaction.

The Feline Funkadelic User ID: 1506838 United States 10/06/2012 08:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And just a little food for thought for those in other countries complaining that Americans are babies whining about gas prices, etc. As someone who's been to Europe enough, I know that alternative modes of transportation (such as biking, walking, trollies, and public transportation buses, subways, etc.) are much more prominent than they are in the US. Sadly, the United States doesn't have a massive transit system in place, except for a few large cities, and not everyone can use a bike to get around in their area. Thus why we use cars more than say... people in Holland. It's a beat situation, and most Americans are hurting as it is by not making enough money to support their families, themselves, etc. Now, add to that growing fuel costs to get a person to said low-paying job, it just adds insult to injury..
