Quit your bitchin'!

I just worked something out.

I fill my tank every week with 60 litres of diesel. That gets me ~600 miles so that is 10 miles per litre. It costs me £1.27 per litre, so that is £76 or in your money about $150. I am averaging ~45mpg (imperial gallons) or 38mpg (US gallons). I drive a VW Passat TDi.

Now if I lived in the US, and commuted 600 miles per week, I would need 15.85 gallons (US), which averaging $4 pg that would cost me $63.4.

So I am paying 2.4 times what you guys are paying!! So quit crying about how expensive "gas" is. Puleeessseeee!
