    I find it so funny Americans complaining about gas prices. Where I am in New Zealand, fuel prices are perpetually high because of our location. If my calculations are correct I pay the equivalent of USD$5.67/Gallon for regular (I have to use mid grade). I use a 1.8L Miata infrequently and fuel prices are still pain.

      That’s still incredibly cheap compared to european gas prices. Here in Germany it’s (converted to Freedom Units) around US$8/Gallon.

        That’s still really cheap! I’m stationed in Antarctica and here to fill my F150 it’s about US15$ per gallon!

          Man, you guys. Out here at my homestead on the Jovian moon Ganymede I have to pay $10,500/gal. And don’t get me started on the radiation shielding tax.
