It is about EUR1.10 here per litre - so it is close to US$6 a gallon.

Quit your bitching you Americans.

"Oh my god it's $2.50 a gallon, oh my god it's sooooo expensive."

You guys have the cheapest petrol on the planet, thanks to your policy of invading nations with oil (politically or otherwise). Maybe if you stopped driving around in those crappy american vehicles that are badly built and are amazingly inefficient (I'm a materials engineer, so don't try and argue that), you might find that it isn't so bad.

On the upside however, public transport in my city is free for students so :P

Dude, the buses in Bonn have the fly pneumatics. You can be sitting at the traffic light on the way to uni and it's all like psh-psh threewheel action. Everybody bounces.

Hold on there buddy, your from Germany, and your complaining about US invading nations?? Perhaps your forgeting about a little incident that happened in the late forties when a little German man with a bad haircut and funny mustache tried taking over the world?

Besides, don't condem us for what our goverment does, we have no say or control over it. Almost everyone over here is against this war, but we can't do anything to stop it.

I'm curious. For you Europeans that live with the high gas prices. How do you get around on a day to day basis? Do you drive every day? Walk? Bike? Public transit? I wouldn't be able to afford going back and forth to work everyday if gas where $6 a gallon and I have a fairly fuel efficient car at 34mpg. HOw do you guys do it?

Jesus Christ mate, get over it. If all the people in the US aren't for the current war, what makes you think all the Germans were for it? It's not like the US had really done anything much anyways in WWII apart from the quick fix of a "drop, stop, and roll from the burns" on the people in Hiroshima. Yeah, some stuff in Europe, but compared to the Brits, the US were not the saviours of the world in WWII, I don't care if Hollywood told you so.



Anyways, it's ALL IN THE PAST! And I don't wanna get in a flamewar over this.

Germany and the US are good pals now.

Oh, Ilka is over right now Gerard, hence me being so pro-Germany.

I'm actually not opposed to the bombing on Hiroshima. Since my Grandfather saw a lot of action already (Pearl Harbor, Saipan to name a few) He was training people for a landing on Japan and if it wasn't dropped I think I wouldn't be there today. I'm sure though this hasn't happened to everybody so I understand your opinion.

Not too bad really, at least it's not by the litre.

I think it's in the low-mid $2 around here. I remember when people were bitching about it being in the 1.40s...

If you don't like the gas prices then ride a bike fatty...

Four points:

1. Actually, I am Australian. I just live in Germany to get away from having to see Steve Irwin on TV.

2. Hitler was Austrian, not German.

3. You have an election this year. Go protest outside a GOP convention or something.

4. Your gas is still cheap and your cars still suck.

Okay, so its okay for you to slam where I live but god forbid I make a comment about where you live.....F uck off man. Honestly, I could give two s hits about Germany or America. Your food sucks, our cars suck, your beer sucks, our President sucks, who f uckin cares. You can cram it with walnuts ugly.

Oh, and by the way, you want to talk about protesting- I'm not the one with a link in my sig to site called unamerican.com filled with a bunch of t-shirts for sale with hippy protest sayings all over them, a sshole.

Show your love.

Go ahead, slag Germany. Slag off Australia too while your at it. Have you seen my Primeminister? He's just as bad!

I've noticed though that Americans can't seem to like German beer. That weirds me out, as I was always to understand that the Germany's Beer Purity Laws make it some of the best in the world. Even if it ain't, it's damn cheap. Why go out and drive? Stay home and get drunk. Cheap and environmentally friendly!!!
