Who would have thought it?! So for all you other people in the United States, and Europe too since we have cheaper gas prices in the US than in Europe. All I have to say is Ha. Ha. Ha. Mwahaha. Ha.
Okay I've been a little bored this morning.

Note to self: laugh at Teaos instead of complaining about the price of our gas for a while.

Ours is about £1.20/litre; That's nearly $10 a US gallon for you Americanos.

137.4/l today, jumped 9.9 cents between 0900 and 1530. Getting pretty close to buying an electric cripple cart and towing a grocery trailer.

Probably worth a lot more. Gold in WoW is worth more then the american dollar.
(The Garden State's ban on self-service pumps adds an estimated nickel or so per gallon to the retail price.)
I have no idea what this is talking about :?

"The Garden State" refers to New Jersey, in which state there is no self-service gasoline; you can't pump your own gas, the attendant must do it for you - even for motorcycles or jerry cans.

Yeah I know, when I learned to drive it was 39.9c/l. And I wasn't joking about the electric cart, my wife and I have already decided that when it hits 2.00$/l it's train and bicycle time.

It's got nothing to do with lazy, it's about more money in state coffers and the oil company. Here it's a full-service wasteland.

Please, please start reading things before you reply to them. I said it was state law, not my choice.

I didn't mean you specifically were lazy. But, I never knew you could have someone else pump your gas. Why is that a law anyway?
