That is terrible!! Gas went up here today as well, to 75.9 cents a litre, or 3.04 dollars a gallon. (that's in canadian dollars). And I thought $60.00 was bad for a tank of gas!!

F150Europe, our consumption is not much higher than last year, same time. It's the refineries and oil companies strategically taking down refineries for "maintenace" and such shutting them down. As for buying your oil, we buy everyone's. Besides, look at the alternative to lower prices other than buying other countries. I don't think we want to invade another arab country to lower the price of gas $.20 again. And besides, we can't allow our fuel prices to go up to your levels. If that woulds happen, you would see economic turmoil here. Consumers would shut their wallets and purses tight and cause a recession, which would bring the rest of the world with us. What would you rather see, higher gas prices temporarily or a global recession and mass job layoffs on a global level? There's more to our "cheap" fuel prices than for our recreation and frivality.

I still believe the reason out prices are cheaper is because we do not have a government sanctioned and/or opperated mass transite network. Many towns in Europe are connected by passanger trains and the towns move people about on trams, buses, trains, etc... Here in the USA many towns are spread to far apart for mass transit to work as a whole. There should be alot more of it on the east and west coast since these 2 areas are becoming one large metropolise spanning from the north to the south.
I have to drive 300 miles to get to college. There is no way mass transit would work effeicently in the part of the US i live because there is no mass of people to move.
As for the part of americans causing other countries gass to increase that seems odd. If we are buying europes gas then the companies are paying europes prices for it. So either the gas companies are loosing money, not going to happen, or they are just gouging europe as well. Main reason, there are only like 3 main oil companies left. they own the rest of the companies.

 

That ain't odd.
Your demand is creating a shortage here.
We are talking about the base gasprice here.
I don't mean your gasprices must reach our level.(70% tax on them)
While your gasprices are relatively cheap,the demand for fuel is still high.
It is out of the question that our gasprices should rise more then yours.

Expected is that gasprices soon will rise to over 3.00 guilder a liter (US$4.50/gallon)

 

So it seems.Before you know it,you are buying our electricity as well.

Sure,we Europeans can afford it.

 

If we can only figure out how to lay high tensile cables to Europe, yes then we can get your electricity!

Hey F150Europe,
Lighten up pal.....Look at your own signature. Worst MPG 9.8!!!!! Gee, take your right foot off the accelerator peddle when going down hill. And you whine about OUR gas consuption. Look in the mirror before you start shooting your mouth off about our dependency on YOUR oil and YOUR electricity. If you want to pay lower prices, then go buy you a Mini and quit your whining.......

 

Yep,were all a bunch of yanks BTW,gas just went down 10 cents a gallon since my last fill up. At least it has here,whew. Almost had to pull my chip and buy 87 octane(AS IF,lol),,,,,98

Personally I don't really care how much any in Europe or anyone else is paying for gas, so just shut up about it. If you don't like paying for high gas prices don't drive a vehicle that isn't known for good mileage. Go buy some little 4 banger car and drive that and if you still have a problem then walk or ride a bike but nobody gives a rats @$$ what you have to pay for gas.
