In the USA people are moaning about paying per gallon what we in Europe are paying per litre. I understand that the price rise is unwelcome, but don't expect too much sympathy from this side of the pond.

I realize that- but Im sure many Americans don't- but one thing you have to remember- in the US you HAVE to drive in most cities- things are too spread out- and we don't have public transportation like you guys.....

in England gas - or petrol as we call it - is at the moment a smidgeon below £1 a litre and rising, which means nearly £4 a gallon !. blimey i used to fill my tank up for that! can any of our members across the pond tell me what they are exactly paying at the moment ?

I'm in California and its around $3.20 a gallon. About the highest its ever been, still less than half what you pay, but still a major bummer since it adds up to almost $300 a month.

the transport of the future.......?? 
what happens when the oil runs out? 
i would assume when supplies get dangerously low they would be only be available for government and industrial use.

yeah, where I live EVERYTHING is spread out and almost no public transportation. To go to school riding a bike would take me a half hour or so, not bad but for going everywhere it'd be half my day.
I put almost 15,000 miles on my car in just over 6 months. I bought a motorcycle to save on gas money.
hybrids and motorcycles are real popular around here, but unfortunately trucks are necessary to take advantage of the area, surfing, dirtbiking etc. I live in a beach town with mountains just a little while a way.

I understand both sides of the argument, but as someone who lives in the United States, gas prices suck right now.
