So how's gas prices where you're at? (Wait, our European readers, put your hands down, we know it's always been expensive for you. I'm sorry.) Us Yanks simply aren't used to paying more than $2 a gallon. It's now hovering around $3.15 here in Boston, and for the first time this week, I've asked myself, "do I really need to drive there?" Yup, we've been spoiled.
What to do? What to do?
The great James Lileks has some ideas.

ReplyDeleteHey ya'll,
ReplyDeleteGas here is $1.30 per litre, yup, that's per litre (sounds like leeter).
Thats up from $.90 per litre in early August.
Love the Ozzies
Just an update:
ReplyDeleteit takes 3.78 litre (AU) to make 1 gallon (US).
so:
$1.30 (soon to be 1.50) x 3.78 = $4.91/gallon!
(that is sans currency conversion)
OUCH! We are glad it is sunny 10 months of the year, time to cycle!
Love the Ozzies!
yep you are right the English have got you beat by a long shot but even here its gone up!! $1.85 a litre!!!!!
ReplyDeletei now think about what driving i do but living in the middle of no-where i have no choice, does Boston have a good public transport system like London??
