Was home in Germany in February for my step mom's funeral, the gas prices over there are much higher than here. I calculated that a gallon would cost over $8 (that included the then already bad exchange rate, which is worse now). I was told that gas in England and Italy would cost even more....

Thats odd Bruce, here in CT we have gas about $3.40 or so and $3.14 in Mass, yet the diesel is in the same price range!
Did anyone hear about that HUGE oil field that was just found? And I quote "The U.S. Geological Survey called it the largest continuous oil accumulation it has ever assessed"

Anyone want to bet that we will be banned from getting it out of the ground while we FUND the ethanol farce?

Peter,
Of COURSE it's high in Canada, you sell oil to the USA, they refine it, then SELL it back to YOU.
Everyone takes a piece of the pie until the pie is HUGE!!!
Why don't Dawn's pies work that way?????

You guys think you are doing it tough!
A litre of petrol where I live is $A1.50, this equates to $US5.10/US gallon.
I drive a 3.6L V6 Holden (Oz GM car) that has a factory fitted fuel injected LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) system fitted. LPG here sells for $2.18/US gallon, I get about 8km/ltr average fuel consumption, that equates to 18.9miles/US gallon, or about 11.5c/mile.
Car is dual fuel, so it can still run on petrol, automatically starts on petrol, then sequentially (ie cylinder by cylinder) changes from petrol to LPG.
The reason for the low cost of LPG is that the Govt does not put an excise on LPG like they do for petrol, they want to encourage the use of LPG as we have so much of it and we import petrol. They even pay a subsidy of $A2000 to people that have their car converted to run on LPG.

Ed,
It kinda does work that way.
You pay for the ingredients.
Dawn refines the ingredients into a pie.
You eat it and get huge.
See, it's the same thing.

I realize that price of gas is high (for the US), but as pointed out it is much higher other places. When people look at the price of fuel they only seem to look at what it costs to refine it. I do work for one of the largest oil companies and there are other costs involved which no one rarely talks about. I won't go into it here, but if you research there is much more involved.
Oh by the way, I do appreciate your business. It helps keep me in a job
