With all the talk about the U.S. economy tanking and gas / food / electric / etc prices on the increase i was wondering? How much are ROers outside the states paying for Gas , Milk , Electricity.....etc. Are we americans just a bunch of whiners? I live outside of Wash D.C. and gas in my area for low grade is $3.71 a gallon , a gallon of milk is $3.69 , it costs me roughly $220.00 a month to power and heat/cool my home. Cable tv/ phone/  high speed internet run me about $120.00 a month...What say you? As Bill Oreilly would say................

i do not drive a car anymore and i gave up drinking milk....it gives me more money for beers and wine.
true story.

but getting back to the question at hand....gas prices in this here town of good ol new paltz are
3 75 for the cheap stuff
and
4 ninety nine for the good stuff

its going down

go figure

I don't drive anymore, but it's $1.22 a litre in Toronto.

it only makes sense if people also post how much money they make...

i think americans pay almost the same for stuff as we here in europe. (with the expention of gas & carprices )

of course when we go to the states now, everything is cheap for us, but that's only because the euro is so strong



but ANY european will tell you that 4 bucks for a gallon is dirt cheap....

If it's any comfort, I paid more than $17 to see Shine A Light at the IMAX theater. As far as prices, egon is correct; it matters just as much how much one earns. The price of gasoline has NO effect on my life except that it annoys me.

unfortunitly thats not going to happen guy.

Everything costs more here where I live in the U.S. I pay more for a gallon of milk than I do my gas, but my kids seem to get better mileage off it than my cars does the gasoline!!!

Now there's a man who has his priorities straight!
I can't even afford to buy weed where I live. Last time I checked, it was $200 for a quarter of an ounce (and that's with the family discount)!

Gasoline prices are ridiculous though. I just got a car this year after being without one for about 5 years, and the first time I had it filled up I brought $20 with me - boy, was I in for a shock.

To answer your question: Yes, you are a bunch of American whiners!

Gasoline is at £1.10 per LITRE in the Uk, and a gallon fits 4.something of those, now swallow that!

Now, concentrating on really important issues, that price for weed is outrageous, GTRM, I think you ought to do something about that! A demonstration in front of the White House while George Bush is sleeping his siesta seems in order...

Now I wonder how that inflated weed price  compares to the price of medical grade weed sold in those dispensing machines in California. Does anyone know???

Never mind the USA being the first country to take man to the moon,or to invent chewing gum and Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, I really think that a machine that dispenses weed 24 hours a day is the best invention EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go, USA, go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
