Jesbus ... Gas prices in Indiana

[The Anomaly]

That's the one thing we cannot complain about in NJ, someone else pumps the gas when it's raining and snowing, and the gas prices are among the lowest in the nation at all times.

I paid 3.42 this morning

[KCTigerChief]

Haha in Sweden we pay abut $8.40 a gallon......

I really hate it when you guys on the other side of the pond act like you're getting raped any worse.

Do me a favor and compare the size of your country to this size of the US. See that difference? We are WAYYYY more spread out...You guys likely drive about 1/4 of what we do in a year, just due to size alone.

The times I have been in Sweden, I rarely used a car.

Actually, I rented a car for a road trip to the wilderness.

But typically, I land at arlanda, took a train to city center, stayed a couple nights across the street from the station. Then went back, got in the train and headed west bound to my fiance's city. While there, I walked everywhere. Rode a bike once.

Same in Rome, Monaco, etc.

I was thinking, if my city was like this, I'd probably sell my car.

In Europe you don't need a car. In Murica, u need a car. If not, 'they' will take ur jerb. Fact.

Lol, just trolling on the last part. But seriously, Europeans complaining about gas prices is the equivelant of Americans complaining about 24" rim prices. Absolutely unnecessary.

There's a shop here that rents 24" rims. lawl. No rims on your 250K mi rusted out 84 Cutlass Supreme (complete with a bass boat metal flake paint job)? no worrys..you can rent them.

Some people lol.

Yes, but you have Andy Reid now, so, soon enough, you WILL be suffering.

A few days ago regular gas was $3.47 a gallon, here on the Florida Gulf coast, which is what I use in my gas eating Ford SUV, but my modified Mustang uses premium and I am not even sure what the price of that is right now. The prices are starting to rise again because it is summer and lots of folks hit the road for family vacation time.

What about Australia then?

You're an island. Islands can't be big. Therefore you're small.

Logic, how does it work?

[rear naked]

The distance we drive is a function of gas prices anyway (more relevant in the long-run)

Dumb argument is dumb. Do you drive all the way across 'murrica every day? I doubt it. Just because you CHOOSE to live in the 'burbs doesn't mean your lower prices are actually "worse" or that you're somehow more justified in complaining about gas prices. I'd venture to guess there's somebody in damn near every country in the world, save maybe Lichtenstein and Vatican City, that drives further than both of you every day.

Yeah, this is a stupid over generalisation. I get it, America is big. But plenty of people in the UK need to drive all the time for their jobs. Driving all day means you rack up the miles no matter what country you're in. I do more than 30k miles a year, maybe that's on the low end for a typical American but it still means I'm spending £300 a month on diesel. I'd turn that into a dollar amount but no doubt you'd have a problem with that too

[K-Bizzle]

My new job is my longest commute I've ever had but was worth it for a nice pay bump.
Paying over $4.50 a gallon nearly offsets that bump.

Ok not really but it sure fucking feels like it.
Fucking dicks.

[indienoise]

Across the street, it's 3.15 - down the road it's 3.08

Yay for SC almost always having the cheapest gas.
Oh, btw Cali guys...$300k will buy you ALMOST any house you want in this area too.

Oh you!

[jnurp]

im seriously thinking about getting a Nissan leaf or a Ford energi car because im sick and tired of paying all this money for gas. A home charging station is like $1200. That is worth it alone. Im just worried because I don't want to take a drive somewhere and then get stuck because I cant find a charging station. Anybody own an electric car here?

[Cirrus]

nybody own an electric car here?

I used to but then my dad stood on it.

Like that's a positive data point? No thanks, I'll stick to living in CA. Not swamp ass SC. lol

If its one thing I've learned in my journey living across the estados unidos, is that there is no good deal. And, it's pretty much the same cost of living everywhere. You might have a state with no income tax, but crazy property tax, or gas tax, or whatever.

Charleston is a very nice city, you've got that right.

I remember gasping when watching the Top Gear where Jeremy drove a Shelby GT500 from London to Italy racing Richard and James who took the train. There's one scene where he's in France talking about the car while filling up, about how it only has a 50L tank - then it pans over and you see Total: 90 euros on the pump. OUCH.

much of the state, no I don't want to live in, either. Don't mistake me on that, lol.
Charleston is a LOVELY city.
And if you don't already know about it, you might want to take a look at Greenville. There are very, VERY few places in the country I'd rather live. I will agree that once you take into account all variables, the savings of one market vs. another are really not in such stark contrast as you'd think. But I DO believe some places offer better value to the resident than others.

I cant imagine driving the cars I used to drive, with todays gas prices. 8 to 10 miles per gallon gas mileage & having to run 93 octane coctailed with 112 octane race gas (that was $2.00 a gallon in the 90's. I bet its over 5 a gallon now).

That was what I learned during my time in Tejas. Everyone is like, "Texas fuck yeah, no tax, cheaper than librul CA!!1!"

But then, property taxes are higher, fuel was about the same, longer driving distances, just as horrible traffic, toll roads, etc etc.

:scratches head:

Pretty much was exactly the same COL minus proximity to beach and mountains. Perhaps running a business there might be different/cheaper but the living part seemed to be the same. It's pretty much the same in every comparable market. Live where you want to be, there's no free lunch- they'll get you somehow.

I dread the fuel costs, I'm about to buy a diesel F250 and I'm like, fuck.

I really want a fiat 500. Srs.

I sort of want an abarth.

Ok, really want one.
