    I find it so funny Americans complaining about gas prices. Where I am in New Zealand, fuel prices are perpetually high because of our location. If my calculations are correct I pay the equivalent of USD$5.67/Gallon for regular (I have to use mid grade). I use a 1.8L Miata infrequently and fuel prices are still pain.

      That’s still incredibly cheap compared to european gas prices. Here in Germany it’s (converted to Freedom Units) around US$8/Gallon.

        That’s still really cheap! I’m stationed in Antarctica and here to fill my F150 it’s about US15$ per gallon!

          Man, you guys. Out here at my homestead on the Jovian moon Ganymede I have to pay $10,500/gal. And don’t get me started on the radiation shielding tax.

            Bro, don’t get me started…

            I’m out here in the 34^vz dimension, and a gallon of gas costs more than I make in a year, partly because there is only one dimension at this time that still hasn’t stopped burning fossil fuels, despite the immense and obvious damage it does to the environment, but also because we here in 34^vz have evolved past the concept of money.
