At least we aren’t paying $8 for gas
Jun 3, 2008 Current Events
I absolutely loathe going to the gas pumps these days. At almost $4 a gallon, it’s becoming harder and harder to fill up. But, we actually have it pretty easy over here in America. Check this out:
As American drivers groan over prices nearing $4 a gallon, the French are paying $8.67 for a gallon of super, compared to $7.10 in January, 2007. A gallon of diesel in French gas stations averages $8.54, up from $5.35 just a year ago. And in the U.K. diesel costs $11.50 per gallon, compared to around $3.90 in the U.S. Across the European Union, the average cost of a gallon of gas runs to about $8.70 — more than twice what Americans are shelling out to fill up.
My gosh, I had no idea it was so high everywhere else!

Is that all in American dollars? Or are they using Euros? Or English Pounds?

hmmm… thank God it’s a lot cheaper in here. it’s just around $5 per gallon and we hope it won’t go higher anymore. it’s too much for us, Filipinos.

@Steph - agreed.
@ifoundme - do people over there drive giant SUV’s that consume WAY too much gas?

yes, we/they do. that’s why almost everyone who owns one is trying to dispose those SUVs.

[...] …we will be at $4/gallon for the cheap stuff. It could be worse though! [...]
