Fuel prices

By Jason

3 Jun 2004

I just got back from the $2 gallon in the US, and the newspapers lamenting the rising cost of fuel there.

Now a UK Gallon is 1.2 US gallons…and in the Uk we are now paying £4 per gallon, so with current exchange rate for the US to be paying same as us they would have to be paying…

$6 a US Gallon…so when my american friends fill up think of us paying 3 times what you are :-)

    Jason – I can’t help but think of you and your countrymen every time I fill up my Union Jack adorned MINI from Oxford and it has nothing to do with the price of my fuel : )

    With your help I’m done complaining. $2 doesn’t sound so bad after all.

    The next car i buy will be LPG (unless i get converted) – better for the pocket, and more importantly, better for the world!
    I’d be interested to see, as and alien in U.S., what your thoughts are on the re-worked American flag on my last post (no! not cos no-one else has commented!)

    Not to complain to much here Jason, but if I’m not mistaken doesn’t England have a national health care system like Canada does? If it does, doesn’t that get funded by your $6 a gallon gas cost? As an American without health insurance (last 5 years now) I would gladly pay $6 a gallon for health insurance because that would be far less than the $400+ a month for my family of three to get health care that would cover part of a doctor’s visit here and part of a perscription drug. I just think that maybe you are getting a lot more for your gas prices than we do. Our gas taxes go to fund a war I don’t support.
