If you look at the price of coffee, you'll see a similar trend. Supply goes down, the price goes up. Supply picks up, no change in the price. Supply drops again, price goes up. And on, and on, and on.

You assume a shame they probably don't have.

There is no greener shade of envy than me at the moment, excepting perhaps DM.

Like JT, a bewildering $3.20/g (AU$0.81/L) showed up on Thursday from a staggering $4.00/g at the first of the month (when the mass pay checks go out) and has crept $3.50/g for the weekend. ............................ Because they CAN!
and OF & DM have even a bigger reason to be outraged at the sheer extortion.

Perhaps it's time to start re-manufacturing the first car in the world to do one hundred miles in one hour, the Stanley Steamer. Can we please borrow yours as a pattern, PantyFanatic?

Missed this at the time.
At present, the cheapest petrol (gas) near me is £1.31 per litre, which equals £5.96 per UK gallon. Or $9.70 per UK gallon at todays online exchange rate!
I have two cars, one of which is a 3-litre petrol (Subaru Legacy) the other is a 1.9-litre Alfa Romeo diesel.
Diesel is currently £1.39/litre or £6.32/$10.30 per UK gallon.
Can't be bothered working out the price per US Gallon, but it's not good!
DM
Edit: Right, it bugged me, OK? 
1 UK gallon = 1.20095 US gallons, or 1 US gallon = 0.83267 UK gallon.
So, petrol = $8.08/US Gallon, diesel = $8.58/US Gallon.
I think I'll go for a lie down now ……

The question was, "Which well-known mouse pays $US5.00 per gallon more than his American forum friends?"
