How can you AMERICAN friends complain about the price of gas (= UK petrol)???

Are you for real?? how is it that we in Britain are paying 1.45 for a litre of diesel at the pump and over the pond it’s still (and it is STILL) ridiculously cheaper than what we pay!!!
fuel for thought…

I always thought you English just don’t need as much of it… The US is a land of wide open spaces where many of us have to cover greater distances to get to work or school and there is virtually no public transportation here… The poorest among us have to make do with the used second hand vehicles from those who are better off, most of which don’t get very good gas mileage.

We live in a society that’s been corrupted by oil barons… I would much rather our society be set up so that I didn’t even have to own a car, however that is not the case, so no car = no job = nothing to eat and no place ot live.

I suppose Americans love their large vehicles…also people tend focus on their own problems instead of realizing they could have it worse off somewhere else
