6. $4.04 Springfield, Illinois
Where's that video of Dubya a month or two ago, ridiculing an interviewer for predicting $4.00 a gallon gas? That would be good for the front page this weekend.

15. One reason I miss NJ
The gas prices are always lower than the avg. Balanced against the GSP and living or working around Elizabeth, that's not a bad trade off.

59. And That's How It Should Be Everywhere
In America, you could get around most places without owning a car. Now, almost every where is like L.A. You must own a car.

60. America isn't set up like Europe, with a few exceptions.
If America were like most of New England, that would be one thing, but
more of it is like Dallas or L.A., which exploded to the sprawl they are
taking into account that everyone had a car and would use it without a
second thought. Now that it costs them $70 (or whatever it is there) to
fill their tanks, it doesn't look quite so good. I just filled my car here
today and it was only 3/4 empty) and it cost me 76 euros, or about $120.

Obesity is less of a problem here, too, as people work off the crap they
eat (junk food here, too) just getting to where they want to be. My wife
grew up on a bicycle, and it is still her transportation of choice. It is
no accident that at age 56, she still has a figure like a model, and at
5'10" weighs about 130 pounds. She works it all off before she has a chance
to put it on, and if any of you know how good German pastry is, you know it
isn't because she puts herself on a starvation (or any other) diet.

We were in L.A. a couple of years ago, and she said it was the most awful place
she could ever imagine living.

46. And if the price here ever went down to $5.......
You'd see a mass conversion to religion and traffic jams that make the
L.A. freeways at rush hour seem like deserted parking lots.

48. The price of oil is pretty much the same worldwide
So as you can tell, most of it is taxes. They even tax the tax here!
There is the price plus the petroleum tax, and then they tack on
value-added tax to the gross amount including the petroleum tax!

On the other hand, Germany has immaculately maintained roads.

If you see a Sparkman Landscaping truck roll past your house there is about a 10% chance I am driving it. We do lots of work in SCS and the Pointes.

53. Now mainly over $4.00 here - $4.05 at the local Wawa
These oil companies are making RECORD profits and the best Bush can do is urge the Saudis for more oil and be rejected.

I think the sky's the limit as far as how high prices go.
