gas here is around 1.09/litre last I checked. Thats 4.1/galon for you US folks. :P

And to think, the UK has it worse then us.

What I don't understand is we have plenty of oil in our lands, it would be economicaly positive for us to just make our own refineries, and even totally break out of opec and just keep it local and make up our own prices.

Or scratch that, stop allowing the oil industry to patent every single alternative energy source, so others can use them and start making non pollution economical machines. (cars mostly, but also stuff like lawnmowers, generators, etc)
