gas prices: US vs UK



Oh my heart bleads. Just done the maths and in the UK, we pay around 460
cents a gallon. Current prices here are around 83.9 pence per litre....

Jeezus, it's bad enough that a plain-jane 1-bedroom apartment in Santa Clara

can set you back $2100 nowadays, but you guys up there are getting it hard
and DRY on gas prices - again.  Note the one shot in the RITF photos where
Chevron is 205.9/215.9/225.9.  This is pretty typical for most of the bay
area.  Around the corner from my house, Union 76 is 161.9/169.9/177.9.. or
almost a half a buck cheaper for premium!  This is some SERIOUS BULLSHIT!!

You guys up there need to make some serious noise with the local state
politicians and get this crap straightend out!  And I DON'T mean by getting
the oil companies to raise OUR prices to get them in line with yours!  :0
