A gallon of gas is already over $10 in some countries in europe. Its just that their economy is already adjusted to gas prices being that high, ours is not.

WOW, there are so many things wrong with that post.

1st-I went all over Europe 6 months ago, Bosnia, Italy, Spain, Germany and i didnt see any where gas prices being close to 10.

2nd-People in Europe really dont have to worry about payments on their house or health etc. as we do over here, so they have extra cash.

3rd-In Europe people dont do alot of driving, even if they do its mostly on their motorcycles. And if its in a car, they really dont have to drive far away.



And stop bitching about gas prices going up cus they wont stop,its not the end of the world.

Clarify please. People in Europe don't pay for their houses? Housing in the major cities in Europe and even the smaller cities in some countries is very expensive for very small spaces. People live in just a few hundeds square feet.

Gas is 1.5 Euro's per litre right now. I walked right by a gas station yesterday and that was the price. That's $5.70 per gallon. There are very few SUVs but there are a few. People don't drive 30 miles each way to work though. Cars are driven 5-10 miles a day in the city... if you even own one. Public transport is great. I would LOVE for our city of have decent public transport. Sure, we have MARTA but it's awful. I've travelled all over the US and am in Europe now and Atlanta's public transport system is light years behind what it should be and damn near useless for most people.

I love cars but in an ideal situation, my car would be for enjoyment, not a necessity. I absolutely love taking trains all over the city and never having to worrk about parking or gas when I'm in Paris, NYC, Philly, DC, etc.

What's the cost of diesel? Most people in Europe don't care about gas/petrol prices anyway.
