Well, come to the UK where it's at least $10 (£1.36 per litre).

That's it?
Cry me a river, Justin.
Good, no more SUVs, trucks blocking my view.![]()
Yeah, you'd be amazed how much we Americans cry about it. It was way higher when I lived in the Netherlands, and I just laugh when Americans whine about gas prices.

Agree with this 100%. I hate those behemoths that clutter my view. I also don't care for their drivers that often behave like kings of the road. Hope to see them gone soon.
Fuel efficient cars are gonna be in short supply once prices start hitting the $5-6 mark. I've already saved over $150 in fuel after only a month's ownership.![]()
Really? I don't think people who can't afford to pay $5+ for a gallon of gas are in a position to buy a new car.
Perhaps not a new car, but I remember that the market demand for old crappy 3 cylinder Geo Metros was out of control a few years ago when gas prices almost hit $5.
It's been over $4 for me for a while in the CT/NYC area.
It's getting to be a better and better idea to buy hybrids.
I can not imagine people getting burned again after 2008. I remember entire car dealers going from small-midsize cars to nothing but Escalades and SUVs.As the US now imports more then it produces watch US prices rise to match in the near future.
Also: used Escalades gonna get very cheap soon...
Many of the locals are very angry about the price of fuel, but at no point do any of them accept the idea that burning less fuel is part of the solution to high fuel prices. They want to both burn more fuel and pay less for it. Conservation and sustainability do not enter these peoples' minds, at least not when it comes to fuel policy.

Well, if people are buying large, fuel-consuming vehicles as part of a "lifestyle" choice then they're going to have to suck it up and pay the accompanying fuel costs.
I've been eyeing a compact SUV (like a Ford Escape, Honda CRV, etc.) for some time now, but haven't really made the jump yet due to my finances. High gas prices are a consideration too. I "need" a small SUV for camping, towing, hauling lots of stuff to/from the campsite and also because I'm 6'4" so I like a tall driving view. I'm going to have to balance those "needs" (which are, really, just "wants") with the cost of everyday work commuting.
