On the contrary Sir, I began no coversation about anyones' healthcare systems, I was merely responding to someone who did. I pointed out that each system has enough of their own problems that pots calling kettles black might be occuring if one begins gunning at another's system. Anyway, thanks for bringing us back on topic. smile
Haha, fair point, and no problem at all.

If I send you over a few bucks maybe you can send me some fuel over. Juts a few hundred litres should do smile

I would probably be taken down for terror, or worse, destabilizing the economy. smile Maybe if I mark the container as "full of Korans" it will glide right through to avoid any possibility of offending anyone. biggrin

I agree that fuel is too expensive in the UK, although the price has stabilised in recent years and is now starting to fall due to the oil price.
The UK price is high because of excessive taxes caused by government profligacy. Look at the fall in crude and compare it to the odd penny that has fallen of the price at the pump.

I've spent quite a lot of time in the states and I'd take UK petrol prices and the UK healthcare system any day. smile

I wouldn't be suprised. Now, when government subsidy collapses (and it will), that will change. I was tending to look at free market fuel prices, not the subsidized ones.

I used to care about fuel prices but now I have a car that does 70mpg it could double in the UK and I wouldn't care.

America is a great country for fuel prices but I guess you guys do far more miles. It's hard to take longer than 4 hours to get most places in the UK.

Nothing. I'd just rather have expensive fuel and state provided healthcare than cheap fuel and expensive healthcare.

ETA: Although having said that, our roads are crowded enough as it is. I dread to think what they'd be like if fuel was a third of the price!

Currently 2.35 BGL per litre here in Bugglearia
The pounds at 1.47 so about 95 pence a litre.

True, a daily work commute is 150 miles for some of my coworkers. Like the old saying goes, in the US, a 100 years is a long time; in the UK, a 100 miles is a long way. smile

yes That's very much true. I've only driven two trips this year of over 100 miles 'round and none of over 100 miles in one direction.

Sounds like you just excused and forgave outrageous pricing. Now perhaps those that govern will feel less concerned about adding to said price. biggrin

What is the average commute distance there? Maybe short trips make fule prices less an issue, as was stated earlier.
