Gas Prices
I KNOW IT'S not fair to do straight comparisons between the US and Europe with relation to gas prices since there are driving forces that make the prices very different. However, I'd just like to say that there is no color on this map that illustrates how much I paid to fill up our car this afternoon. In case you can't read the key very well, the prices go on a scale from green (cheapest) to red. The darkest red areas are where prices are above $4.00 per gallon. France would need some sort of dark, blood burgandy color.

we ride to work every day now....put 30.00 worth of gas in the car every monday and that's it for the week...yes we are all in shock, complaining at 4.00 a gallon here in Los Angeles...but what you are paying is so so much more...ouch!
News update: Gas is now ten dollars a gallon in France (it's risen more the last couple of weeks). It was way past time for Americans to be forced to be smarter about gas use. I don't pretend to be an expert as to why the prices have risen (naturally the oil cartel and massive demand from China play a role), but the fact is, Americans have been wasting gas for a hundred years. Put away the Hummer, the Suburban, the Land Rover, the Excursion, etc. People aren't buying those anymore and how nice is that?
