IS petrol in England far too expensive

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

at 5 dollars per gallon versus the US at 99cents per gallon too expensive

If so what are you going to do about it?

[V.S.]

I'd have moved out by now

It's not the gas that costs,its the taxes.

Yeah petrol in england is outrageous, but nothing like as bad as it used to be. The sneaky bastards have been pushing up the price of diesel very discreetly recently. Most things in England are more expensive than other countries, but we manage. Plus, when we go abroad everything seems really cheap and we spend spend spend. One of the worst things is car insurance for 17 year olds. When i finally turn 17 i can drive, but i can guarantee that my insurance will be at least £1500, which is, um...$2,147.05 -

Its about that or nearer 85% which means that its a luxury good more than anything else.

Petrol here isn't as bad- but it is still around 3.50 Euros per gallon for 98 Octane Diesel is still cheap though.
