$2.99 and beyond

The chicken teriyaki at the deli I usually go to was a dollar more than usual today. When will the Bush madness end?

Bush doesn't care about Canada.

$2.31 where? I just filled up for $2.96.

$3.60 when I had to fill up the rental car in Hawaii yesterday. Not nearly as bad here in NJ.

I pay $5-6 USD per gallon.

You guys have nothing to whine about.

You live in a tiny country with windmills and tulips, and good public transportation. Americans NEED to drive everywhere in gas gulping machines or we will die. It's a fact.

JefmcC speaks the truth. I'm making a 300+ mile drive this weekend. Drove about 300 miles last weekend. The week before that, I drove back and forth between SF and LA (about 400 miles each way). When was the last time you did that in Japan?

Once it stops raining I'm riding my motorcycle everywhere I go. It might even pay for itself if these gas prices keep going like this.

JefmcC speaks the truth. I'm making a 300+ mile drive this weekend. Drove about 300 miles last weekend. The week before that, I drove back and forth between SF and LA (about 400 miles each way). When was the last time you did that in Japan?

Well, I'd like to introduce you to this magical place called Kyushu. You see, it's a pretty big island, and being that it's not the main Island of Japan, there aren't a lot of train lines, and trains don't run on a regular basis. Because of this everyone has to drive pretty much everywhere that you want to go. I average about 200 miles a week... and if I decide I want to go up to visit one of the big cities on Kyushu, it's around a 150-200 mile trip each way.

So yeah.
