Petrol hit a new record high today in the UK of 140 pence per liter. Worked out to gallons and dollars, that's $8.41 per gallon.

Either way, Americans are buying gas at a bargain price.

$0.12 per Gallon of Gas in Venezuela!
Of course they are. The government does nothing and gests .12 of every dollar you spend on gas while the oil company does all of the work and gets .06 for every dollar spent on gas. And then they have to pay their own bills which brings them down to 1.5 to 2.0 percent profit margin.
It's a good racket really. I get taxes taken out of my paycheck, and when I go buy gas, 12% of my purchase goes towards taxes on the gas. The oil company gets less than the government, and then pays corporate taxes for providing the gas. Then they pay their employees with what's left over, and their employees' paychecks are taxed. All so we can drive around in our cars which are taxed yearly with license plates that are taxed.
We.....are.....all......
Now why are those friggin choppers hovering over my house again!!!!
