When your daily commute is 60 miles a day, gas prices will bite you hard at 4.XX plus a gallon.

I used to drive 74 miles per day. When my company moves location (assuming im still here and not laid off), my 60 mile per day commute, will be upped to 80 miles per day.

So our prices don't seem so low to me.

What's the average commute for an average Joe drive in the UK? It can't be anywhere what were forced to drive here. Between those big ass busses, subways, trains, etc, all the mass transit that im assuming you have that we don't, leads me to think you can't be driving nearly as far.

Most of the gas stations around me are near $5.00 a gallon.

Oh, you lazy bum! At 1.5 miles, i'd be riding a bicycle everyday! I'm guessing you fill up your gas tank.... once a month?

I've been riding the bus during the winter, but now that it's warming up I'll be riding my bike seven miles each way to band practice. And suffering mightily for the first few weeks.

Gas Prices in my area?

Too D*** much!

I put $80 in my workvan ever other day at least - sometimes every day depending on where I have to go. Thank the good lord I have a fleet card!

Most gas stations closest to me have a price of around 14,5 kronor/Liter. This is in a suburb of Stockholm.

14,5 kronor = 2,3 US dollars = 1,6 Euros

1 liter = 0,26 US gallons.

I don't own a car though and i almost never drive, so luckily i don't feel the high gas prices much.

Paid 4.20 per gallon last night on my way home.

I also sat there and multiplied my trip meter to the amount I put into the tank, and figured out i'm getting 28 MPH, and thats after lead footing it a little bit. Not bad for a pickup!

I do love my Ford Ranger. Pity they're discontinuing the best gas mileage pickup on the market this year in the US. The powers that be at Ford, must be monumentally stupid.

Lucky you. I pay €1.60 a litre, which is $8.86 a gallon.
Nothing too special around here.

That's pretty much what alot of us in the U.S.A. will be saying in just a short time.
That don't bother me to much as I still get over 50 MPG on my Triumph.

2nd best thing those Brits ever gave the World.

If the US were to invest in a workable public transportation system, I would be the first to leave the car in the driveway during the week. I would love to be able to relax on public transportation to and from work.

Here in North Virginia, our public transportation system does not cover a lot of the area.

Unluckily you eat and probably smth like 99% of these products' prices are influenced by gas price rise/gas price in general.
Apologies for spoiling the party.

Yeah i know, should have phrased it a little better, what i should have said is that, by not woning a car, i save alot of money. Ofc, products are transported by gas-consuming vehicles, so im still affected, but not as much as if i were to drive.
