Fails every time.

BTW..... They will raise the price between 1 to 5 cents the next day to cover the cost.

They would do that, lol.  It's gonna be really shitty when I start driving in about a year.  All the more reason to get a Cold Air Intake and other upgrades that can save on gas among other benefits.

Count yerself lucky, kiddo. Here, that'd get you 4 gallons. £1/liter works out to $10/gallon due to fuel duty and VAT on top of that.

EDIT:
Also, planning to ignore it. Don't own a car, can't afford one, no license, no reason to own one until I need to move heavy objects long distances or get to places out of reach of train stations.

Ufff nice idea.... Don't fuel you car today but tomorrow all the gas station will be full of cars and the owners happy...

The best thing to do is stop all cars for a week and use the public transportation... This way the gas company's will feel the impact

My friend works for a relatively big heavy construction vehicle manufacturing company, and he deals with big oil companies on a daily basis. There is no way in hell us consumers can make any oil company go under by boycotting, especially for one day. The oil companies do most of the business with other companies. The only way we can hurt them is by having more fuel efficient vehicles, that's it.

I'd do something, but the forecast calls for rain. Maybe we should say screw alternate fuel sources and fund a weather control device.

Free at the point of use if you want to wait in line 3 hours to see anyone. Otherwise, you go private and have to pay. But it is nice being able to turn up at hospital without needing a checkbook.
And, frankly, free healthcare isn't much use until you happen to slice yourself open and need an expert to tape the wound shut, and I haven't done that in years.

Here in Sweden it costs about $1,66/liter.. I don't know how much a gallon is but anyway it's expensive.
It's time to use alternative fuels like ethanol or bio-fuel or something like that.
