Modern Prices & the Value of a Buck

[Oddball]

I went to a Chevron station this morning and asked for $3.00 worth of gas. The attendant farted and gave me a receipt.

[davo]

yea. its just i guess in comparison, you lot would have a fit about how much costs are here. about £1+ a litre now. i always thought it was weird that somewhere that uses so much fuel pays less. its hardly a deterent to help save any

 

[davo]

is you came over here, and asked for about £1.50s worth of petrol, theyd tell you you are better off walking.

If you buy a lot of something its cheaper.

Gas = petrol and USA prices seem to be approaching those in the rest of the world, rising fast even though the oil companies are posting record profits each quarter. Considering that you (Davo) are probably paying just over $5.50 a US gallon it is no wonder you don't see the joke. Venezuela on the other hand has an average price of $0.14 per gallon.

Here is a list if a few countries' petrol prices.
