I just paid the equivalent of $7.50/ US gallon. the price of a gallon has now overtaken the hourly minimum wage in England. It's getting bloody ridiculous. I wouldn't drive a car like this if I wasn't comfortable with paying for petrol, but there are millions in this country who are really hurting, if they have a long drive to work.

Gas is 3.83 here for 87 octane... Costs me a little over $60 to fill up, which I do about once a week. Times I wish I had a V8 but those are few to the times I am SO GLAD I got a V6!

You think this is high- just wait !!! $6.00 & 7.00 is on it's way imo.
We are shutting down oil production in the gulf and hopeing for windmill powered cars. The first person to see a car with a windmill on the roof let us know.

Nah. It's going to go back down, don't worry.

This is all speculation. The US could correct this easily by releasing a little of its reserve and calming everyone down... But hence Obama isn't the smartest of people and is more worried about being re-elected and attending town hall meetings.

It will come back down as it did before.

Right now, it's the price of having fun and I'm willing to pay for it. If some granola wants to drive their Toyota Pious, be my guest. I'm driving my musclecar.

You can have my Camaro SS when you pry my cold, dead hands from it.
