You can't beat them. They're extremely economical and they'll last forever if you keep up maintenance. Amazing cars. This is my second Toyota..the first had over 150,000 miles when I gave to a cousin..and it was still kicking.

ok whats up with this??

United Kingdom $5.94


why is CHINA so LOW????????

Prices vary a lot for gas in the UK, depending where you are and what gas you buy. By far the most common is unleaded.

http://www.petrolprices.com/

Average price this week in the UK for unleaded is 93.8p/l = $7.10/US gallon

Diesel is more expensive again, and LPG is about half the price of unleaded because there's very little tax on it

I wish it was only $6.25. Currently we pay $7.70 per gallon.

Yes. I was wondering when someone was going to bring that up. You know, there is one big huge country that still hasn't ratified the Kyoto protocol.

The one with the low gas prices and cars that run on huge amounts of gas, you mean?

you can blame the inept leadership for that. Bush doesnt believe in Global Warming.

Fortunately there's a new dynamic in Congress, hopefully we can get back on track.

It cost me $50 and some change to fill my gas tank on Friday. Gas is about $3 a gallon here.

Actually it's not. The United States is the second largest purchaser of petroleum, only eclipsed recently by China. The States is a far larger country dependent on driving for getting from point A to point B. We don't have the sophisticated rail system that Europe does. I wish we did. We buy oil in such quantities that we should not be paying these prices. We are most definitely getting gouged.

You are correct, unless they've gone and used the new math again.
