BF2S Forums Life after $4 a gallon

I don't foresee the desire to pay past five.

Voted $10+, since I already pay $8 a gallon (1.40 EUR/Liter).

Its 1.83/L here at the moment, which works out to about 5.45USD/gallon.  Its been this high before, and at about this point public transport recorded higher usage while petrol stations reported falling sales.

Even when it was under $1/L I still walked most places, so it doesn't bother me as much as most.

Stupid thing is, we export about 40k barrels/day while importing 120k...why not just import 80k...

will you Americans please sytop whining about supposedly high gas prices. As I said before, I'd kill for gas prices as low as in the US.

Right now, gas is at 1,42 €/liter here, that's around 5,37 € per gallon, or 8,59 USD $/ gallon.

I guess the oil companies know that people love to drive everywhere in the US, and that they love their V8's, too. So they'll continue to rip you off as long as they can.

I chose $10/gallon. It's the equivalent of $5.25/gallon here (yes i converted for you Amerifags) and I enjoy driving and fucking love cars. So I may go as high as $10/gallon. After that, i fucking give up, gonna buy cars and just keep them for their awsomeness.

It's all converted to dollars/gallon or dollars/litre.

USA have it so much cheaper than most of everyone else. Turkmenistan must be a drivers heaven. Although I guess, it's all balanced out across the world when you take into account average wages etc..

We already pay $8 a gallon in Europe, im pretty sure most people would pay up to $15 or so before everyone moves to mass transport.

There are certain places I simply can't go without a car, but I started changing my driving habits about 7 years ago.  Even back then I thought driving my truck was getting to be too expensive.  My current car is a 2001 Eclipse 4-cylinder that gets pretty good mileage.  I also bike to work 2-3 days a week during the summer when weather permits.

No choice, gotta drive for work.  And I don't live in a city that is large enough to have an extensive public transportation network so I drive.

I just paid $3.93 a gallon for regular unleaded for a $75 tank of gas for our little honda minivan.  Yum.

I voted $8 a gallon because that's when I'd stop using gas..I'm really hoping the technological superiority of the US of A will kick in and advance us to where we need to be and replace the combustion engine because there's gonna be lots of bicycle riding around here as we approach European prices.

Light rail and shuttles FTW.

I own a 2007 Black prius, and is one of the best car's ive ever owned. Gettin 49.6 life time avg off the MFD display..usually get 525 mi to a tank..if i got more into hypermiling i could easily pull 60+ like some guys are doing with proper driving technique.

and prius isnt a sissy car, unless your driving silver pine mica..lol Mine is black, and has a kickin sound system in it to boot. Great thing abour prius is you can really throw some nice 10's in with alot of watt's goin to them. The car battery/hybrid system handles alot of power draw and has no affect. One guy online is running 2 class D monoblocks at 1500w each for over 3 years with no ill effects, no need for extra batteries or a rewound alternator..the prius owns.

next gen 3 prius body, will have 1.8l turbocharged, and hopefully 20% more FE. Rumour is litium ion batteries, but we'll see. I would like to see higher capacity NIHM at least, they had them in the EV1 which could go roughly 120mi on a charge. Now what they need to do instead of rumoured plug in for 2010, is do solor panels built into the roof, like one of the cal car prius on youtube..no need to plug in, with Regen and hybrid recharge+solor..120MPG easy.

You have it so cheap!

You have cars that get 3 to 4 times the gas mileage as we do not.
