Germany - Gelsenkirchen
1Liter - 1.62€
1Gal - 3.785 Liter
3.785 Liter x 1.62€ = 6.13€
6.13€ = $7.87 per Gallon.

Any Questions? Keep on whining about your $4

I use gasbuddy and find it very handy.
I have family in clearwater, there is a shell on ulmerton with $3.659 diesel today. Several in orlando now at $3.629 as well.
The mobil on my street is $3.919 so it pays to use the app.

Neither the oil companies nor the government will ever allow our oil reserves to be pumped out completly. Their strategy is to use up the oil reserves around the world and when they are all dried up and the Arabs are starving we here in America will be taking baths in the stuff. Why do you think Putin wants Alaska back? We have enough oil under Alaska to last another 50 years atleast. If we start drilling off-shore we will have over 100 years worth of oil and the rest of the world will be starving for it. They already have technology in Detriot that will take a car 100 miles or more with one gallon. You think the oil companies are going to allow their product to drop in demand by 50% to 75%? No way!!! The only other place with large reserves is Iran and they are not pumping or selling it fast enough because of the embargos and the regime not willing to play ball with our oil companies. They are stealing oil from southern Iraq now that Saddam is gone. They will probably will be our only competition and don't think for a second that our oil companies are not trying to figure out how to get that Iranian oil. An ovethrow of their govenrnment and installing anothe Shah is out of the question. Remember that you heard it here first.

Ours did the .30 instant price increase on Thursday. I got an email from gasbuddy saying it was going up, so filled up the EX at the last station around to increase their price for $3.64. $3.89 now. Probably just the pre-holiday money grab kicking in just a little early.

Believe me...it isnt endless.
We have here in Europe enough Oil, too.
Offshore in the Norh Sea and Norway. The problem is the tremendous amount
of oil that needs China, India and other states like this.
And of course, we have here in Europe a much higher enviromental conscience.
...ok....Im driving a V10 here but Im the only one in a city of 260.000 people.
We have here some, read handful, H2 and Rams, but they running mostly on
LPG to spare some money at fees and gasprices.

Complaining because of the oil company greed.

Bitching because of the oil companies CEO's billions earned off of our backs because of their greed.

But whining? No, not whining.

Fuel was pretty high in 2008.


Adjusted for inflation
