Prices were closer to $4 / gallon recently. I think most Americans would say that it is expensive closer to $4 and cheap around $3.

For shits and giggles I worked out what the UK price for petrol would be converted to US gallons and USD. Comes out as about $7.50 a gallon.

Yeah. You might see riots here if gas were that expensive.

Cars are Americans basic transportation. Public transportation here is nowhere near where it would need to be for people to use it a lot.

Try $5 last year. I think Hawaii and California were at $6.
