[N8 v2.0]

Heard it on the news this morning.

This is probably going to make gas damn expensive this summer.

Pah! Super unleaded costs the equivalent of about $5.92 per US gallon for us in the U.K. Gas is cheap in the US, stop complaining.

Not my fault you live in someplace where the gov taxes the hell out of you.

 

[TN]

gas is like cigarettes. no matter how high it goes people will still fill-up.

They may get taxed, but the US gasoline prices are not due to regular market prices. We should be paying a lot more.....or maybe we are in other ways, we just don't know it

To put things into perspective, when I went back home in December to Venezuela, my cousin filled up the 90 liter tank in his FJ60 land cruiser with ~7500 bolivares. Offical trade of dollars is 1920 blvs./1 USD, black market is 2500 blvs./1 USD. So 3 usd /24 gallons= .125 USD per gallon.

Won't go into the political side of this discussion because it is the lounge. Everytime I go back, we drive all over the country because it is so cheap to get around. There are the most amazing views and mountains. Unfortunately most of the mountains around Caracas are National Parks and there is no biking allowed.

edit......my pictures are too big....can't attatch.... will do it later

In Venezuela oil is produced by a government-owned company and local gasoline prices are kept low as a benefit to the nation's citizens.

You would think by now N8 would know to post stuff like this in the Political Forum.
