I "wish" I lived over there LOL

Filled up recently on my offroad weekend and paid £1.38 per LITRE = £5.86 per gallon = $11.26 a gallon.

You guys really should just accept your fuel price, its VERY CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn''t bear to get rid of my LR so I bought a used motorcycle instead ... something I''ve always wanted and it doesn''t hurt that it gets 45 mpg on 87 octane!

Things are a little spread out in the US for the most part.
I live in Dallas / Fort Worth Tx area and from the east side of Dallas to the west side of Fort Worth its 80 miles.

I thought we have lower grade gas than the rest of the world, and that''s why we don''t pay as much. Relativly speaking.

I don''t think that is it, but rather I think other countries (Other than USA) have higher taxes on gas.

Not only does the UK have a tax on every litre you buy, they also tax your total purchase. So you pay taxes TWICE.
And I agree with Landzu, nothing is close to anything here in the US. Unless you live in a big city with lots of public transportation, here in Grand Rapids MI our public transortation is not useful for most people. And taxi''s are few and far between and exspensive. No subway either.

For the vast majority of citizens of the USA (and possibly Canada) mass transit is non-existant. It is only those that live in urban centers that even have "some" public transportation choices, and that is only if you live within a certain perimeter of city center. We are forced to use personal transportation for everything, and thus, even with lower petrol prices than many other countries, it still costs us more, and it hurts lower-income people more, because so many marginal income people live in cheap rural housing far away from towns, and commute (by their own truck or car) to modest jobs in factories in larger area towns. The growth of the suburbs in the USA surrounding even larger cities has also put a strain on the pocketbook. I wonder how many millions of citizens commute an hour drive each way every day to work at only an entry-level job? Even bus service is not available to rural communities in the USA. Train service (Ha, I laugh). It is only in the Northeast area that commuting to suburbs is feasable using mass transit. By-the-way, Diesel fuel is more expensive than Premium gas here in the states also. It also used to be cheaper.

I was reading a couple of days ago in an online newspaper, that Gas in Mexico is $2.60 a gallon. This is because the government subsidizes it.
