Tony Baloni Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 I'm pretty sure we're the only country that uses gasoline. Do you guys even have cars...
scott Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 yeah, just with the way we're set up, we're forced to travel great distances every single day. Like right now, I'm a delivery driver, so gas prices suck majorly. But, when I lived in north dakota, there's like 300+ miles between every city, and if you want something done, or need drugs or whatever (haha!) you have to make that drive like once a week. Blaaahs to america I'm not saying we deserve it(low gas prices), but the powers that be don't want us to be able to just walk everywhere, we're kind of forced into driving.
c_s_1987 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 I do have a car BTW, though my view on the matter may be distorted by the fact that I still only spend about $10 a week on fuel.
Elvish Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 This is out of date, but still very interesting: http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/
Tony Baloni Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Why is it so cheap in Venezuala!! Isn't that where the Citgo guy is from?
Farin Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 in Venezuela the oil and gas companies are all state-owned and thus the gas prizes are heavily subsidised... I once heard someone say that there gas is (almost?) cheaper than clean water
Crazy Don Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 There were a lot of places that sold it for $3.399 today, but the Exxon near my house was $3.429. And there was one place with diesel for over $4 a gallon!
c_s_1987 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Diesel is more expensive than regular gas? 'tis here in Australia too. Why? No one knows. In fact, there have been various investigations into the relative pricings of diesel and petrol, but nobody has managed to work it out.
Farin Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 here Diesel is generally always way cheaper than all kinds of regular gas ("Normal" or "Super")
Levis Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Diesel's cheaper in India too. Everything's upside down in Oz. Even staples.
katie_sane Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Have you considered that everything is right way up in Australia, and upside down in the rest of the world?
Levis Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Your doorknobs and car locks open the wrong way!
Rayzor Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 I spend $18 on gas and it lasts me for a few months or more
