The Noticeboard today touched on something that I am pretty passionate about.
I visit the USA and see that these big SUV's and Trucks (F250, RAM GMCs etc) are very very common.
Then I hear very often from Americans complaints about the price of fuel.
I just wanted to tell those Americans that don't already know that you have close to the cheapest gasoline in the western world.
In Europe - right now (when US gas is $2.70 per gallon approx) the going rate is around $6 a gallon. In Australia, it's about $4.50 a gallon.
Best thing to do is buy smaller cars but please don't complain your gas is too expensive!!
The USA is the only country I have ever seen (and I have seen a few) that has an addiction to these thirsty and incredibly wasteful "trucks".
Cheers,
NN
