I might have mentioned it before but gas over here in the UK is knocking $6 a gallon. A wry smile came across my face when I read about $1.61 'hurting'.. we all have tiny economy cars here and only travel when totally necessary. If the roads were not so dangerous I would seriously consider buying a near by field and keeping a horse as it would be the single biggest return for our time and investment.(posted 9656 days ago)But what I would like to know is why the price of fuel in the U.S. is creeping up? Over here we always know that its going up because our socialist government is adding tax to pay for yet another hand out scheme - we're used to it. But is that the way it works over there? Sarah.
