That is the of the makes me really just pity the americans who complain at paying $8s per gallon!! If you think thats expensive come to the UK and travel by taxi here!! An average car can do 32miles to the gallon, so with gasoline at $8s that equals $4s to travel 1mile! :eek: In UK with gasoline at its current $1.4 (roughly £1), to travel 1mile in a taxi will cost you minimum £6 ($10s). So we are 'currently' already paying and affording to pay $20s per gallon!! And thats just druing the daytime, you travel after 11pm on a friday or saturday night you pay over $30s per gallon. So you have got it ridiculously easy already.
Check your math buddy. At 32miles/gallon and at $8/gallon. you'll be paying $1/4miles not $4/ mile like you said. So you're not paying $20/gallon...$20/gal Makes very little sense sense.
Whoops, pressed the wrong calculator button. lol Well we are currently paying $5 per gallon, even with energy prices so close to thw lows and down over 60% from the highs.
