Hi there,

this guy should live in Europe, perhaps in good old Germany, where a litre of premium unleaded (no cheaper gas on the market any more) costs 1,50 Euros at the moment if you can get it cheap (monday). Thats 7,86 USD per gallon.

Anybody buying a guzzler around here has the money to spend, nobody in his right mind would buy such a thing if he cannot afford to support it. People who like american cars or other makes with big gas engines convert to lpg to save some euros.

In my opinion, instead of whining people should drop their fuel monsters and get an older but fuel efficient car to replace it. Or go hypermiling :-)

so long
