That's about £35 a day, with our prices that will get me about 180miles, or 120 around town/cities. I drive a 2Lt Diesel TDI. How many miles you doing a day ATG?

That day I went 220 miles. 100- 150 lbs. of cargo. Traffic was heavy.JahManRed wrote:

when a society gets used to paying a certain amount of money for a certain product or service, and the price of that product or service is going higher and higher with no end in sight while wages remain the same, well, I dont think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out why people are getting upset.ZombieVampire! wrote:
Your fuel is half the price of ours. D'you hear me bitching?
Not really the Euros and Aussies try (and fail) to get the Americans to understand our train of thought. Although some of us sympathise with you lot having to pay raising fuel costs you're still pretty damn fortunate with those prices. You guys never seem to get this point and tend to play on the should we feel sorry for you card?God Save the Queen wrote:

I hate hearing that argument. You guys are bitching about not bitching, thats hilarious.
My 2.5TDI Land rover will pull 3ton up the side of a mountain no problems. Smaller better tuned engine is what you need. Had a V8 Mitsubishi Shogun, couldn't pull shit. Get a shogun 2.5tdi Diesel. Bullet proof engine, never breaks down and tuned to give you the best mpg possible for the engine capacity. You can get a relatively cheep import version for a few grand less if buying new, think they are call Pagero. It will replace your current truck and save you running a second.ATG wrote:

We live in interesting times. Oil, food and just about everything else is going to cost more from now on. Everyone is going to have tighten their belts and there ain't a damn thing anyone can do about it. There is something pleasing for me in that all of the 'live in the moment' crowd are getting their come-uppance for their irresponsibility and lack of prudence. Humanity needs to come to terms with the fact that we live on a rather small rock with a finite amount of resources. Renewable energy, recycling, environmental protection and all of these kinds of things are finally going to take their deserved place at the centre of political decision making.
It's mad that a country as vast as America still ultimately has a two-party system. I always think of that episode of the Simpsons where the two aliens run for President.CaptainSpaulding71 wrote:

Also, give us good alternatives. Kerry? come on. Gore? If there was a more centrist candidate from either side, i'm sure that would have helped, but the democrats were so far left, it gave many no choice.
