What would you be doing if gas in the UK went from about $10 to around $20 a gallon in 6 months or so? Would you be doing any less crying? I doubt it.

Realy when i hear Americans crying about the gasoline prices at $2.79/gal
I begin to laugh real hard $2.79 how cheap do you want it..lol, that equates
to 70cents a liter Australian......sheesh i wish gasoline was that cheap for us, the last time we saw gasoline that cheap was 3 and a half years ago today they said on the news that they expect the fuel price to jump in the not to distant future $2.00/ Ltr thats 8.00/gal USA and there talking about $12.00/gal by
the end of the year, just in time for Christmas not bad for a society that still produces 6Ltr chevy engine for their basic cars....lol

as for the original question "when we will see gas prices come down " well
when we the people of this world unite and tell OPEC to stick the gas where it fits.

Prices here went up $0.32 overnight last night. Was $3.98/gal for regular, now is $4.30/gal for regular.

It will be $5, $6, $7 before we know it. It will not come down. The increase is part of the plan to consolidate wealth and remove some of the population. We will see dramatic economic repercussions.

Hate to be the cryin American but.. in the UK and Australia you tend to get payed better then your average American. Try going to college(for you Uk folk) and owing 200,00 dollars, which to you is 400,000 PLUS living expenses, taxation through the roof and all of a sudden spending 50 dollars a fill up on a small tank and (as with my truck) 150 dollars. A fill up lasting a week and pay at a good job for me over taxes only hitting 400 dollars that 350 dollars left to (or less if I drive the truck, plus I fill up both tanks, go figure... so even less)

!. Food
2. Bills
3. Pets
4. Owe to other expenses

I make A LOT more then the average american and I still dont make much

(25 dollars an hour with 35 ovetime, which I pull regularly, taxes are 0 0, meaning I pay full so come tax time I get payed a large chunk to make up for lost ground)

As much as I'd like to let you call us crying.. you get payed for college often, we pay A LOT for ours.

Not so sure about Australia though, so you may have it worse then us for all I know.

well i live in Jefferson City Tn..the cheap gas is 3.79 most expensive is 4.05 its ridiculous!!!!

Same here, gas went up $0.25 over night.

2 Major car delerships just went out of buesiness this week on our main car dealer street! Our Humvee Dealer, and our GM Dealer, who sells only SUV/Trucks.

What I noticed when I lived in Germany was that gas was expensive on the economy, but they had a great public transportation system, even in the small town I lived in. A town the same size in the US doesn't have squat and you're screwed if you don't have a vehicle.

Well ... I live in Southern California and Unleaded Gas is 4.39 a gallen!! ..... its almost 100 dollers to fill up my Van.. and its a loong drive to work its like im spending 15 bucks a day just to go to work! and all the indipendent truckers here are goin insane... selling there rigs cuz they cant afford the Gas and nothings getting dileverd... what are they trying to do! were gunna spirl down word into a 2nd great depression

Where are you getting that it's almost $4.00/gallon? I'm genuinely curious.

It's still $2.70's to $2.80's here. I just paid $2.79/gallon, and I thought that was wretched.

As to "the $2 range," I guess anything from $2.00 to $2.99 qualifies, unfortunately.

I'm sure, in the not too distant future, we'll be over $3.00/gallon.

PS - I'm in South Carolina.

Congrats on your gas prices in south carolina!!!!!! Maybe I should drive there to gas up next time. I live in oregon and a week ago I paid $3.79 a gallon in portland....today the cheapest I could find was $3.97 with the average price over $4.00.
