Thank fuck air is free. Even if it is enhanced by chem-trails.

Insane, isn't it?
That is in litres peeps.
Funny when I see Americans complaining about gas prices.
They have no idea.

You should all move to Trinidad . My bf has a van and he pays about 11USD for diesel to fill it up.

Serious said:

So we're paying the excess for you skinflints Typical of the British to bail everyone out as usual.

iloveannie said:

I am in Austria though and gas is not cheap here either. Thank God I don't have a car .

Try going to Belarus, it cost me $12 to fill a bus there!!

You know how I get around this? When my car is low on petrol I take my husbands car

we 'murkins buy this stuff called Gas-o-line... it's a very, very cheap version of "Petrol", kinda like what sparkling wine is to Champagne.

it's going for around $3 per gallon...

iloveannie said:

in South Africa, we're paying almost 8 rands per litre.
now, that is less than 1 pound, but can u imagine paying
9 pounds per litre

RenHoek said:

I can't work that out (have you seen my sig?!), it's hurting my brain... but I figure that that is really, really cheap compared to what we have to pay here

florescent said:

75 cents a litre.

iloveannie said:

ok... 30 or 40 pence... Thanks!
yes, that is cheap.

florescent said:

I like your style lady!

MrsGoodnight said:

I have a whole list of tricks....

It's a fuckin disgrace - crude oil prices are the lowest they've been in the last 2 years (apparently..) but we're being mugged every time we set foot on the forecourt

I remember when it used to cost me £28 to fill my car, less than 7 years ago - now it's almost £70! Typical 'Bend Over Britain'..

RenHoek said:

Bloody 'murkins

MrsGoodnight said:

They sure do stick it to ya in this country.

florescent said:

So does your husband. Check his glove compartment.

UK should take back Trinidad & Tobabgo and remind them how much they should be paying for gas.

sextonseven said:

That would be a good idea !

Serious said:

All those years of independence from the queen for naught.

sextonseven said:

It was a huge thing when the queen visited Trinidad some weeks ago .

It would make it easier to travel to Austria or Trinidad and stay there for longer, that's all that counts to me . No visa problems, that sounds like heaven .

No wonder everyone in Amsterdam rides bicycles.

Serious said:

Do you live there currently? If so, please create a thread about life in Trinidad.

KoolEaze said:

I wish. I have been living there for over 5 months, but came back to Europe 2 weeks ago . I hope though that I will at least live there half time in the future .

Serious said:

I used to stay in Costa Rica, sometimes for several months in a year, and then I had to come back to Germany because of my new job.
Felt like Jack Shepard from LOST leaving the island and falling into a huge depression, looking for a way back ever since...not necessarily Costa Rica but any other warm and distant place.
So I can totally relate to your situation.

MrsMdiver said:

I see you have picked up the "original" English way to spell things. Interesting.
How is your stay in Britain influencing your everyday use of everyday words?


Gas/petrol...FUEL is very expensive in Germany, too. I find that ridiculous since a huge chunk of that money is just added tax.
Commuting or transportation shouldn´t be a luxury in the year 2010. I also find it a bit sexist because many young women earn less money despite having the same jobs as men, and often they are prone to sexual harrassment in the subway or on the bus.
At least they should be able to drive at night.It´s a crying shame. It´s high time that they introduced some new, affordable alternative energy cars to the market.

I know what you are talking about. So we are in the same boat a bit . If it wasn't for money/job and my apartment I would move there. It is a completely different life, especially as I was living in the middle of the rain forest. I miss living there, but most of all I miss my bf .
What was life in Costa Rica like? Did you ever make a thread about it ?
