I couldn't just say "Pain at the Pump"...the typical headline when fuel prices are so high. Today was sheer trauma. Since I can now drive again, my first stop was the gas (petrol in UK) station. Our car was on fumes. Here is the breakdown of my transaction (I'll spare you all the conversions)...
Amount of petrol:
13.95 gallons
Price of petrol:
$8.15/gallon
Total Price: $113.69
Making my friends and family feel better about paying $3.70 per gallon: Priceless
Yes, you read correctly...it really costs $8.15 per gallon over here. Thank goodness for public transportaion!

Proving yet again that the rail system in the UK truly is a wonderful thing!! :D
Momicus-Yep, it is a wonderful thing. You can get anywhere in Europe without a personal car. I wish everyone in the US could experience it and then maybe we could start a public transportation revolution.
