Wow!

It's really hard to listen to you guys complain about the "high price of gas"

Here in Ireland, like Phil over the way, I pay the equivalent of $5.40 for a gallon of regular. Your US gallon is a bit smaller, so this is actually the equivalent of about $4.50 in your money and gallons. This means it costs me about $75 to fill my tank.

On top of this, to make things worse, none of the outlets have premium petrol available, it is always regular. Anywhere I have ever seen premium available, it costs 25% more than regular, not the 10% that might seem reasonable. So a full tank of premium fuel would cost $95 a tankful.

Keep smiling guys, you are still ahead of the posse!
