[QUOTE=MitchvW;34961120]€1,70/liter currently on our CHEAPEST gas station.
I've seen prices go up to €2,- a liter on some more expensive ones.
Which makes our cheapest galon go for $8,30 if a galon is around 3.7 litres.
And a whopping $9,77 for a galon at a bit more expensive station.
So stop the whining about your gas prices.[/QUOTE]

"Bah! Now OURS is higher than yours, what were you ever complaining about, dickhead?"
"How DARE YOU, you DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR SUFFERING. btw ours is now HIGHER, and STOP COMPLAINING NOW"
"Now ours is higher, stfu and die fag"
"You're the fag now, 0.001 higher! You fucking woman"
Do we really need that conversation on every thread?
Everyone is suffering, deal with it.

Fuck off will you, nobody cares about your fucking hydrogen. Look at the price of my fucking APPLE. it's £88.95. Up a whole 0.95 since 2045!
I understand that 0.95 doesn't look like a lot, but it's obviously £88.95k

Holy shit apple has dropped in price. I remember in my day it cost over two thousand to get a decent one.
:(
Our government is fucking greedy. They tax the shit out of us and give fuck all back.
I wonder if this makes electric cars viable in the UK, with these high prices and generally shorter driving distances.

It does, but when Top Gear tested them they said they were around £30,000 - double the price of the equivalent petrol engine

It's the UK.
Medical insurance isn't necessary.

There are significant ramifications to that as well, if taken up by a sizable amount of the population.
Loss of taxation revenue is an issue already mentioned.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Yeah, we have the NHS. That means we can die of a hospital-acquired infection for free!

I would assume the gov't would just raise taxes on other things to make up for the loss. I'd rather have everything up a tiny bit than one necessary commodity skyrocketing.
Just though I'd share this for those in the UK as it might be of interest.
Spend £60 in Morrisons, get 15p per litre off fuel at one of their forecourts.

I assume you mean "15p per litre off" and not "15p per litre of fuel"?

There's a similar thing going at Stop & Shop where I live. 30 cents off ( 0.189274448 British pounds) per US gallon of gas if you spend enough money there.
I'm suddenly feeling better for crashing my car the other day.

nope.
battery technology isn't advanced enough yet and fuel cells aren't practical yet.
If only Labour were still in power...

Well of course bigger countries will have higher rates of MRSA, it only makes sense.

Not really. Statistics allow for us to compare the largest country in the world to the smallest as you don't take the entire population into account. Just a sizeable sample group to represent the population.
Otherwise it would fuck the results right up and ruin every statistical comparison of countries ever.
More on topic: I'm now actually quite thankful I did go to uni and decided to live on campus. Because holy balls it would be far to expensive for me to travel in every day if it continues like this for much longer. I would already be nearly broke as is if I had to travel.
[QUOTE=Terminutter;34960523]Hydrogen powered bikes are starting to look like a really good idea thesedays, and they're cheap to refuel.
The ENV can go something like 150km, and would be cheap to refuel, but it's a prototype as far as I know.[/QUOTE]
a bike
it is so depressing how the prices are only getting higher and higher... when the prices started to creep over the £1 per litre mark I was outraged... now the cheapest in my area in 137.9/litre :( sad times

The fuck kind of backwards-ass country do you live in where you have to pay for medical insurance
and us americans complain
i work in retail and i hear people moan and whine all the time about our local gas prices at a whopping $3.50 USD
It's always a record high? I'd like to see it sensationalized that it's at a record low, that would be news-worthy.
A much more fuel efficient car is need i think
Tax consumer products, blame industry for price hikes. Economics 101 with the anti-oil agenda.
I'm no huge fan, but it's kind of obvious that if you tax the end product, they'll pass on the cost to the consumer instead of sucking it up themselves.

Those offers are on all the time but they tend to raise the cost of fuel by several pence just before the promotion.
Unless you actually go to that store and spend that amount in a single shop it's a bit of a waste to spend more just for a bit of a discount on fuel in my opinion.
I wish a store did an offer on fuel without you having to spend x amount of money in their shop but that would never happen.
