Your right Oddesit, I did come off WAY onesides without explaining my stance. I was off thinking about the other thread I had read. I am more towards the middle and understand the whole prices go up on everything and not way out in left field but it's not always an even jump in cost. It may not directly relate but I don't see everything being fair when our housing in the area goes up 19% plus over cost while salary goes up 3%. If it goes up, it goes up. We rely on driving, we do what we can to get by and the gov't will see that if the economy takes devastating losses, they don't sit around until we say something. They have to worry more about this sorta stuff than we do and it could force them to put forth some more efforts into the hybrid movement, public transportation, rail systems being expanded. New york has a fleet of taxi's 6,7 times larger than here in DC. If they needed it they could make it happen.
Yes peeps can complain, nut also realize the Gov't is here to handle, thus why it isn't run by ONE man. We are the greatest country in the world in the fastest amount of time in history for a reason. Countries similar to us like to argue we are messed up and no one dislikes them. . . well nobody picks on the 2,3, or 4 guy. Your other countries are not that great so get over it and at he same time we have no reason to complain like those other countries.

yup, imperial.
why do you guys have your own way of measuring/converting.
wouldnt it be easyer if we all used the same.
At least your prices are going down (slowly)
ours are not moving. My mate at work filled his bike up this morning, what would usually be £12 to do was just under £16, thats a hell of an increase in 1 week.

Not shitting you, most of the stations here are 2.97, or 2.95, but I saw a texaco today, drove past it 2 times to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
$2.38.
