I'm in the U.K and I started driving just under 2 years ago and I was about 78 pence a litre for unleaded, I remember I used to avoid petrol stations that charged more than 80 pence a litre! Now its about 96 pence a litre, if not more and a few months ago all the stations went up to over a pound for a few weeks. Totally shocking that it can rise by almost 20 pence a litre in under 2 years!
Whats worse is I live near Aberdeen-the oil and gas capital of Europe-why are we being charged crazy prices for what is coming out of our own seas?! What a mad world!

I turned 16 in 1986. The lowest I remember paying was .66 per gallon.

The year was 1966. I was seventeen and the cheapest place in town sold gas for 27.9 cents a gallon. Most places were a couple of cents higher, and I avoided them. The minimum wage was $1.25 an hour.

The world is running out of oil and there is no good substitute. Sorry.

Biofuels are a fantasy, just like wind power. Try running your car on coal or nuclear, or maybe put a solar collector on the roof.

Empty is empty, just like an empty bank account. Your rich uncle isn't going to die again and leave you more.
