    FIRST!!! a nd yes we would

  2. Wesmania says:

    Yea. 1,5$/gallon. So good you Americans don’t have Polish prices, ’cause it’s like, 4,50 zł/l, which equals 3,5$/gallon. Damn friggin unjust taxes.

    • Wesmania says:

      Whoops, now that’s some fail at maths from my side. I meant 5,9$/gallon.

      And err, Phillip, i’m not quite sure if it’s the same gallon you’re talking ’bout in both cases.

    • Petter says:

      Wesmania, you are a butthead. gas does not even exist in poland, because they don’t have big enough integers.

      plus 1 out of every 4 polish women has pancreatitis.

      god I hate you.

      • pat5556 says:

        If gas did not exist in Poland, that comment would not make you look stupid.

        Because it does, there is, therefore, gasoline in Poland. They kind of have things called “cars” there.

        • FP says:

          You’ve replied to a comment that is over a year old now. “Petter” probably has completely forgotten about his dumb, prejudiced comment, and might never know about your reply.

  3. Phillip Parr says:

    Compare the current average US price for gasoline at $2.70 per gallon, with the current average UK price for gasoline at $6.45 per gallon. Now quit your whining.

    • KnightStryke says:

      Compare the prevailing wages and cost of living, not to mention outrageously unaffordable health-care in the US to the ones in the UK. Now quit being so overly serious, its a humor website you know.

      • tahrey says:

        yes
        but i did a 250 mile round trip the other day because i wanted to go to the imax (very few of ‘em here) and it cost me more than $50 equivalent in fuel. so screw you.

        mind you if you had even half our level of fuel duty you’d be able to pay for obama’s healthcare plans in spades AND make some inroads into a sustainable economy. priorities = backwards. who cares that you may end up dying from a broken bone (not treated properly, gets infected) if you don’t have insurance, so long as you can still use a V8 for shopping trips?

        • KnightStryke says:

          Screw me? My point was exactly what you stated, that while we have cheap fuel prices in the US compared to most of the rest of the world we also have a high cost of living and the majority of us have minimum wage or barely above minimum pay with no health benefits and that our health care is so outrageous that unless you have insurance, which would cost half my monthly wages, you can’t get treatment. So how the hell are my priorities backward?

        • mavisbeecon says:

          Nationalized health care…so now i can pay for a bum’s broken leg as well as my own!

    • Humm. says:

      Agreed.

    • Gold says:

      Liters FTW, we pay an average of €1,40 per liter, which is 5,30 a gallon. Or $7,20 a gallon…
      Liters FTL :(

    • sam says:

      you are comparing gallons to us gallons. a us gallon is 2.8 liters while a gallon is 4 liters

      • Eldarrion says:

        1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters

        1 Imperial gallon = 4.54609188 liters

        Not that big of a difference, but either way. What amuses me is the way the US adamantly refuses to use metric, but they’re obviously not going with the Imperial system either. Bit confusing if you ask me.

        • pat5556 says:

          We’re stubborn like that.

          I, however, support metric. Except I do prefer “inchworm” over “two-and-about-a-half centimeter worm”

    • Capt Obvious says:

      more like $9.69 now

  4. beeboo says:

    a kid died in that accident..

  5. Dave says:

    I remember when this happened, all the people in Australia could talk about was how cheap the petrol was that we saw on the sign. And while it isn’t as bad as the UK, it still is significantly more expensive than in the US.

  6. ughh says:

    i liked it better when it was:

    OMG
    look at those gas prices

  7. JD says:

    Phillip, doesn’t your petrol price include loads of taxes to fund your social programs? Aren’t you getting something for that?

    I personally don’t have a problem with the way gas prices are.

    Also, avgas isn’t the same as what you get at the pump for a car. Run the same fuel and you might be lucky if it doesn’t destroy the engine.

  8. karl says:

    southwest airlines peanuts: 0.50$
    kicking Kevin Smith off a burbank flight: 59$
    thrifty pilot saving 20 cents a gallon on gas: priceless.

  9. Eat Me says:

    This might actually be funny saver for the fact that a young boy who was in the car was killed. Kinda sad.

  10. Tina says:

    Who cares about the gas prices! That plane could have exploded if it would have hit the pumps! So not funny!

  11. tahrey says:

    This picture is so old that the prices at that particular gas station are probably 50% higher now.

    But hell, I’d ponder doing that if they were $1.59 a LITRE… finances are doing badly partly because this extended winter we’re suffering (jet stream’s a couple hundred miles offcourse to the south) means I can’t use the motorcycle I bought last year to save on said bills (and the car itself using more because of the conditions). Lost six weeks of “gradually paying for itself” travel so far (the first couple weeks of january were assumed to be a dead loss anyhow).

  12. cgray says:

    I guess all you people mentioning the death of the little boy at Christmas time need to just shut the hell up. I mean, a conversation about the relative prices of gasoline is much more significant.

    • Strangeknight says:

      actually, this incident isn’t the Chicago incident, (Southwest Airlines flight 1248) but actually a somewhat similar incident in Burbank CA of all places, Southwest Airlines Flight 1455. (Yes, we do on rare occasion get snow in the Los Angeles area). Here’s a website with more info on it.

    The metric system is the tool of the devil.

  14. dave says:

    Drove my family in a Toyota Yaris 2009 from Montreal to Manhattan on 40 litres of gas on Tuesday — that’s 650 km or 6.15 litres/km.

  15. f4-wulfhoud says:

    I’m glad I started a meaningful discussion here!

  16. Amanda says:

    Wow, 1.59/G being good? … F***in’ Americans. I’ll stick to my Canadian 0.89/G much better price, I’d say.

    • Suiiki says:

      Umm, what? Where is it 89 cents a gallon? Please tell me! Because here in Victoria, BC, we run to the pumps as fast as possible when it drops to $1.09/litre!

    • Eldarrion says:

      Last I checked, Canada was still using the metric system. Are you sure it’s 0.89/gallon and not 0.89/liter?

  17. me says:

    haha we pay 2,1USD for each litre!!

  18. mairon says:

    f*** you.

  19. Anon says:

    LETS ALL ARGUE ON A WEBSITE ABOUT FUNNY, BECAUSE WE’RE ANONYMOUS, AND WITH THAT WE ALL BECOME A BUNCH OF F***TARDS. WOO. Idiots.
