Perspective for you. I am in Europe at the moment. I put in half a tank of petrol this morning. I drove a bit further to a station I knew was cheaper. The price was 1,57.9 for a liter. Ok, now times by 4 to make it a gallon, 6.31 a gallon. Now change the euro to a dollar and I am paying 8.01 USD for a gallon of gas.
You have it so good!![]()
How many miles do you drive? I budget $150/week for gas for my wife and I just to go to work. My wife puts 25,000 miles on a year just herself. I put about 15,000/year on my car. That's $600/month just for gas to go to work.
Miles driven needs to be mentioned in the "you have it better than us" comments that the EU/UK usually bring up in these threads.
It is nice getting a bit of relief. Paid $3.19 last night, cheapest I've seen it since around 2006. I never saw below $3 the last time. Now I'm only spending around $110/week, but I know it is only temporary.
