Please can our US correspondents not come on the forum complaining about petrol, or gas, or whatever the hell y'all call it. Here in the the UK, where salaries are much lower than they are in  the US, currently a US gallon of fuel @ 3.785 liters to the US gallon, costs $6.45 per US gallon. Oh, and by the way, since oil throughout the world is calculated inUS$, it constantly fluctuates for the rest of us, but not for y'all, which allows the retailers here in Europe to make an even greater profit. 

The US, as everyone knows, has had cheap fuel for many, many, years. Welcome to the real world! Perhaps it will reduce the spending power of people and less guns will be bought and less people shot - or am I draming...?

 

@no kidding Not sure how you get that salaries are lower there than in Canada or USA. I can tell you many people live off of around 9 pounds per hour equivalent. Canada is at $14/$15 minimum wage which is pretty much the same as UK. USA is between $7.25 - $12 US dollars which is less than UK on the lower end and same on high end. 

 

I spend a lot of time in the UK and I know that much is less than here and some is more.

 

The USA gets slightly cheaper fuel than Canada. 

 

As a British born person myself...who used to dislike the USA's right to bear arms 2nd Amendment - I can now say as a Britiish/Canadian that I have changed my mind and I support the US 2nd Amendment. When you see what is happening in the world currently... we should all be able to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government. The only restrictions should be that we are all educated in gun safety and fully compos mentis. My opinion, yes. But in light of the agendas at play currently I'd say to you "be careful what you wish for" 

@no kidding I wasn’t complaining actually I wanted to see what the different prices around the world are from real sources besides what “they” tell you.
