Holy carp, two years ago when I went to New York, gas prices (I saw at a BP station) was 2.54 per gallon.
Good ol' days. Back in 2005, Quebec gas prices were like 89 cents a liter.

I saw gas for $4.62 this May in Chicago. I cried a little bit inside.

Why women are always late?

Why women are always late?

My ex had a passive-agressive personality disorder, so she was pathologically late. When we planned to out for dinner, if I booked the table for eight, you could guarantee we wouldn't get there until Ten. So we were always one to two hours late.
It got to the stage where I would tell her I we were due to be somewhere an hour earlier than we actually were so we would get there on time.

UK Petrol Prices for Thursday 14th Jul 2011​
​	Avg.	Min.	Max.
Unleaded:​	135.08p	129.9p	146.9p
Diesel:​	139.14p	132.9p	154.0p
LRP:​	136.91p	133.9p	138.9p
Super:​	142.36p	132.9p	151.9p
LPG:​	76.00p	67.9p	84.9p

 
 
and those are per litre, oh and right now £1 = US$1.62.  so say one US gallon (rather than a UK gallon) is 3.8L then you could pay up to US$9 a US gallon for unleaded.

actually its a general bug bear of mine, americans whining about how much things are or how high taxes are, compared with the rest of the modern world you pay bugger all.  granted you get bugger all back from your gov but still.  pretty much everything bar Sennheisers is significantly cheaper in the US than it is else where and i mean everything.
 
so if you think you pay too much for petrol then heres an idea, dont buy a land yacht then insist in slapping in a the most inefficient 6L engine you can find.  no car on earth needs anything bigger than 2.
 
 
for god sake VW do a 1.2L engine with 105bhp, just how much power do you think you need to go in a straight line.

****, dude, calm down. I'm sorry that you have problems, too.

Chronic lateness is only a small part of the disorder and shouldn't be used for a diagnosis of the whole. That fact that you might consider having it, even if that was said by another person, goes against you having it.
Unless your response was to never speak to that person again once they told you. 

 

[JamesMcProgger]

lol 

 I meant the "why the **** are you late again?!" parto, not the whole thing.

 

[MrQ]

Heh, my bad. This is what happens when I work Saturdays, I think I'm still on duty for the rest of the weekend

sorry not a moan totally directed at you.  it just always bugs me when americans moan about petrol prices even though they pay amongst the least in the modern world.

Don't ya love it when this happens?
