Post your gas prices!!!

[Transporteur]

I disagree. Europe has public transportation that is centuries ahead of the USA. Gas is $3.79 here in mid Missouri.

"Ahead" in what terms? Sure, public transport is used considerably more in Europe than in the US. Reason? Gas prices (oh yes, and the fact that you can't get a parking space in the big cities just makes it more convenient).
But is the actual infrastructure worse? From a european point of view, that is hard to believe.

What I am talking about is in the majority parts of the USA. New York, LA, Chicago, Boston, Miami, etc etc all have a public transportation infrastructure. Where I live, in what is considered "rural" USA the only form of public transportation is a taxi. There are no city buses, no rail system, nothing. If I need to go somewhere I have to drive there.

I live in Missouri, which is 69,704 sq mi. England is 50,346 sq mi. So when you travel from one end to the other (North to South, or East to West) of England you have gone from one end of your country to the other in 3-6 hours. Here, If I left now and traveled for 3-6 hours I would leave my state but I would be no where close to the edge of my country.

We are so spread out as a country and because of that our public transportation, unless you live in a city with 500,000+ people, is crap compared to European countries. You can travel anywhere in the City of Paris or London for one flat fee with the subway system. When I was in England staying in Belper, it cost a couple of pounds to travel by train to Derby. If I was to pay a taxi to take me to St. Louis, or Kansas City, damn....probably cost me $2-300.

I wish the USA would build a high speed rail system and have a station here where I live. They built a highway system, why not a rail system?

Ah allright, rural areas are of course different. That being said, the rural areas in most european countries don't really have a good public transportation infrastructure either, but you're absolutely right, the sheer size of the US makes it worse. Even in rural areas in Europe, you don't have to travel far to get to a train station, airport etc.

But yes, there's the problem with us Europeans. For us the US consists only of very large cities, which indeed have public transport.

The only place in North America where gas is ridiculously HIGH....QUEBEC. Taxes represent 30-35% of the cost of gas. *sigh* But at least our roads are smooth... Oh no wait, they are not.

Ta-bar-nak!

The rest of Canada isn't all that far behind Quebec (which, to anybody looking, is NOT pronounced qwah-bec), but that still is bloody high. I bet out in NL it's pushing $1.50/litre.

[puma1552]

$7.36 per gallon.

 

[Bierkameel]

€6,66 per gallon, nuff said.
That's 9,65$ per gallon.

 

[andalusia]

Around the Manchester area, it's about £1.40 per litre of unleaded.
That's 2.3$/litre.
If I do the maths right, that's 3.7854118 * 2.3
Which equates to 8.706$/gallon.

Pretty expensive over here at the moment.

 

[Nejmann]

1 liter in Denmark Cost 12,72kr that's 46kr for a gallon = 8,95 dollars for a gallon.. and we got the highest car taxes in the world, 180% :/
