So you pay and extra six bucks to fill your tank, it could be worse, it would cost $56 to fill a Protege in England

So you can't blame us for arguing.

that's nice... still can't beat the $5.24/US gal of "regular" (98 RON) gasoline in Hong Kong 
I won't be complaining about the prices for a LONG time because we still have the cheapest gas in the world (in a country that's not a shithole... name a country that's a 1st world nation that has as cheap gas)
till then, buy SMALL cars (a Protege!), stop driving SUVs and trucks, car pool, take the subway
I'm still happy with my $1.77/gal of 93 octane
it's really funny seeing americans whine about gasoline prices as if they were the only country in the world

I believe the reason why we are so sensitive to the gas prices is that usually the price would increase at small increments throughout the year...instead of going from:
$1.39 for 87 on Monday
$1.50 for 87 on Tuesday
$1.89 for 87 on Wednesday
This is from the same gas station....
if they had spread this over a month instead of the last 3 days, a lot of people would be more calm about the price increase. But a 50 cent increase in 3 days.....
I bet you it will be 2 bucks the next time I drive by the same shop this afternoon....
But 3 months from now it will drop also...I rather they just keep a median price instead of this crazy price flauctuation.
