120.3p per litre, that's the CHEAPEST you can find in Bournemouth.

How much of an anal raping are YOU taking in your locality?

when i saw

'not the jeans' i automatically thought it was going to be a thread dedicated to the great VIN.

In the states petrol (gas) is through the roof.


Through the roof...hmmm

Suck it up. I think you pay about half the price that we do...


120.9 is what I just paid

not good


I paid

129.9p this morning, i did put in the special shell expensive stuff though by mistake, although for normal run of the mill stuff the other day i paid 125.5p at an esso...totally shite, thank fuck most of it is business miles


Diesel

is what the homeboys in Minnesota called heroin.

Gasoline is like $4/gal. I dunno about diesel prices stateside... a little more. Chrysler has a ad campaign where they guarantee $3/gal gas for 3 years and its so popular their car sales are up 15%.

I think it's time we just take over the middle east... "We've put up with yer shit long enough...No more Mr Nice Guy!"


THAT'S LESS THAN 50P A LITRE

jeepers oh boys


Yer really on me ass today cowcow ...hehe

It's not my fault yer government tax the shit outta it. We have big gas guzzlers as is our god given right.


I've got a shitty Corsa

and don't believe in god.
Clearly this is why I'm paying so much.


You're from Minnesota?

Do you talk like "Minnesoooota?" (< horrible transcription, but you get what i mean) Please please say you do.


I wish I did

I'm from SoCal...we haven't got a cool accent like that... I just lived in Minneapolis for a couple years.

those norweigian minnesota gals are so good looking I'm thinking of moving back. :)


i <3 Californian accents

(as long as they are not super cal-drawly, if you know what i mean, which you could easily not because that's not a fantastically clear description, but it's the best i've got.)


hahaha!

Exactly my point!


The prices in

the US and the UK are pretty similar once you convery from gallons to litres.

since i moved here, the gas prices have gone up $2. thats fucking mental.

Off to buy a Hybrid.


You still get hit with the cost of fuel indirectly...........

have you seen the price of bread now?!

I'm considering eating twice daily to save some money, I'll just pretend there's a war of national survival or something.


i only

eat one meal a day now. i lost weight and i save money. no more beer gut for moi!


i kind of move around a bit

and keep my diet pretty basic, so i guess i dont notice it so much. i buy most things in bulk, but not bread! i guess i could freeze it.


hmm...

Freeze bread you say? Interesting...


Yeah

it's all about freezing bread


It's 1.30 in Warwickshire
