Gas is still under $3.00 (average)here in NJ. We have the best prices in the nation. It was $2.89 two days ago (near my house...down fom my office is $3.15) and it cost me $55.06 to fill up. I have been getting about 280 a tank. That is about 15.5 mpg. Not too bad for about only 40 miles of highway.

As far as blowing up Europe? We may want to re-think that and file a class action suit against big oil (Shell, Exxon-Mobil, etc.). It must really suck to make $9 and $6 billion profit, respectively, and then cry poverty.

But...We actually have it pretty good here in the US(relatively speaking). To fill up in the UK, 87 octane would cost you over $7.40 per gallon. That is the conversion cost from the British Pound (confirmed from a friend who just moved there in April).

Keep in mind they make more. I have a friend staying with me from Ireland who's spent a few summers working in England, he said jobs that would be minimum wage pay almost $20 an hour over there once you convert to US dollars.

Crap, when I got my first car (in the late 90s), gas prices were 89 cents per gallon. Cost me $10 to fill the tank, if that. Now it's $55.

The profits the gas companies are making are crazy. Just crazy.
