teh oil tycoons r teh evilz.

If anyone's to blame, are countries like Venezuela, who haven't risen their production. Meh, it's their problemt, they lose market share.
And life goes on.

As I keep saying, in the UK it's £1.18 a litre, or $2.35. Multiply that by 4.5, and you'll see why I don't give a flying fuck about your whinging about gas prices in the US, because it is NOT expensive.

Well oil is a bigger problem in America because we are run by a president and vice-pres who used to work for an oil company. We are in a war for oil that has raised prices not lower them. and oil is a huge problem because high prices have driven are economy into the ground and its not coming back up anytime soon. Our economy is dependant on oil and when oil rises are economy falls and the American dollar is worth less then the Euro. Americans can complain because Oil prices have made our economy worse then yours.

Yet America is not paying the equivilent of over $10 per gallon - once again, their whinging falls on deaf ears on this side of the Atlantic, because they have no concept of what legitimate high fuel prices are.

We tried to lower the oil price, and now we've got none :(

when will we learn the rules of free markets?

Unlike the UK, we aren't within walking distance of one end of the country to the other.

Also unlike th U.K. our whole economy is oil. When oil becomes expensive are whole economy is collapsing. U.K.'s economy is doing better then the U.S.'s.

Where I live it should be at least a $1.82. But its actually $4.25.

Actually, you can walk one end of the US to the other - it just takes longer. Also, since when were economies dictated by the size of your country? That's an illogical comment and, therefore, irrelevant (and vice versa).

Also, our economy happens to involve oil - the North Sea oil fields for a start. Meanwhile, we're in the midst of a credit crunch, with house prices taking a real pounding at present, with a 16% drop this year alone.

UK oil prices have always been higher than the US regardless, so once more: stop complaining, as you haven't got high fuel prices.
