Just wait intill you have to start buying your fuel by the litre instead of the gallon. Then you may complain.

It actually makes very little difference. I have no idea how many litres my tank holds. All I know is that

I see what you mean. When it's the same (or more) per litre than it was per gallon, then you can start complaining.

Our new motor has a 90ltr tank!

What sort of motor is that? Sounds more like a Chieftain tank.

Where you'd have to refuel five miles down the line.

Nearly, a Vauxhall Vivaro minibus, good for my son's mobility difficulties as he can climb into his own seat, less awkward lifting for us.

As been said many times you cant compare Europe to the US that well.  Different taxes, different import rates, different life styles....... :P  Also from what I have read before its higher octane then our standard....standard around here is 87 octane currently at $2.90 and climbing.  The 97 octane is at $3.18+ a gallon...

90 liter tank....equals 19.8 gallon tank.........dont feel bad mines a 23.5 gallon tank ::)

How far does that 90 liters last though....converted to miles ???   My 106.8 liter lasts a whopping 250 miles and thats pushing the limit ;)

The main thing that ticks me off the most is that 2 years ago it took about $30 to fill it after coasting in to the station on fumes....now if i do that....to top it off would be around $70.  $40 increase in 2 years......complete and utter price gouging  >:(  Simple as that....i dont care where you are. :-/  Unfortunatly the only way to kill the problem would be to not buy fuel....but that would mean a lot of people loosing jobs......cant go without fuel........therefore the oil companies have everyone in there grasp.....and they know it..........this isnt going to stop.....those oil exects have to afford to buy a new car for every day of the year ::)

What i find funny is that everyone thinks its the government doing it....hello....oil....just like food....is buisness...not government....only thing governent really has control over is the taxes....Oil companies control the price making it as high or low as they well please and unfortunatly it seems to be higher and higher  They are billionaires....why the hell should they care if normal people cant afford their product

I've always said current prices are only beginning to reflect supply and demand.  I swear I've posted this before, but I can't recall where.  We've brought it on ourselves for being so fuel thirsty.

I almost* prefer prices this way, because it's only a matter of time before cars in general become fuel effecient (well, as much as they can be), because, let's get real, no one really cares about the environment - just their wallet.  We may once again pay $20 (

Im thinking, when i obtain my 86 camaro 5.7 liter V8 I will convert it to a propane kit found something like this here. Then the cost of propane is cheaper then Gas by I think a dollar so save half as much money in the long run. My gas prices on a car like that would be outragous lol. So yah, what I would do.  ;D

Is it true that Willie Nelson's ride can drive up to 200+ miles o the gallon with fuel that is mostly used food oil [like the kind that you find at BK and McD]? Just wondering.

But would you get the same MPG on propane?

I would have thought an easier solution would be to buy something other than a 5.7L V8! Supplies of fossil fuels won't last forever!

Well if that were the case than anything over 4 cylinders should be illegal. We all know what they're used for.

Everyone laughs when they hear I like the Echo.  Good fuel effeciency + no cops on my tail = happy driver!
