you do the math.

And when we driving the 4 door, 2 pax hatchback Vauxhall around the UK, running over business men in the Oxford business district and getting OCRed in London for having no traffic permit, the gas there was fairly cheap at around 3.60 pounds.

And I hate to be the dissenting (“jaded,” is it?) voice, but we have some of the cheapest gas in the world. Maybe it’s just me, but wishing that things would stop getting more expensive seems like a rather frustrating pastime. If the “high” prices drive us to come up with alternative fuels or stop driving our cars three blocks to the store then it’s fine by me.

And in case you’re curious, here’s a sampling of gas prices around the world in dollars per gallon:
Bosnia-Herzegovina – $10.86
Norway – $8.73
U.K. – $8.38
Germany – $7.86
U.S. – $3.45

Full-scale protests seem a little drastic, but maybe we can divert all that energy toward something more useful, like cars that run on overused political euphemisms.
