I always love it when Americans complain about high gasprices. Especially when it's 9 dollars a gallon over here.

Get used to it. The world's oil supplies are going to peak around 2010 - from there it's all downhill, bar a little raping of the planet's last natural wildernesses. Gas prices will go up and more wars will be fought.
Driving around in cars is not sustainable.
All except that prize jewel up in Alaska!

Hey, you guys can take a train or bus anywhere you want. Most Americans don't have that type of transportation system, especially here in the MidWest. People live in small town communities and are forced to have to drive!
People drive an average of forty miles a day to get back and forth to work, sometimes even farther so they can put bread on the table.
Americans gripe about oil prices because it effects us the most, I think.
Not only because of our lack of good public transport for all Americans, but also because the oil trade is directly linked to the American Dollar.
Yes, you might be paying $9 a gallon for gas, but the Euro (and now for the FIRST time in AMerican history, the Swiss Franc has bypassed the Dollar in value!) is worth more now. Why?
Well, part of the reason is that oil is now either being traded or is being projected to trade in Euros. The Dollar is beginning to fail to maintain its grasp on the world's oil supply.
So, guess what? Just conveniently enough, some Arab kids decide to fly airplanes into buildings using boxcutters. BINGO--America has got an excuse to wage a huge war in the MidEast, and reestablish its grasp on the oil market. Thusly, the oil barrons are fleecing the sheep while they still can. You will see gas prices go up and down for quite some time, I am afraid.

I'm pretty sure I heared that britain has the highest petrol prices (over £2 a litre if someone can be bothered to do conversions) And we definatly do not have european transport systems. I agree we dont have as much driving as the US(although commuters into places with expensive housing like london do have huge distences to travel) but should more driving entitle you to cheaper fuel.

Yet even here in New York, the highway is PACKED with massive, empty SUV's with only one person in the car...right next to the commuter train tracks. I see them every day from the train.

Agreed, but how many other people are in the car with them during those 40 midwestern miles? Chances are, none.
We could save billions of gallons of oil if we would only carpool.
