1. That's interesting. Thanks for posting.

Glad I don't live in London - ouch.

2. Puts things in perspective somewhat

5. If you lived in London you could take the Tube

Back out of town

Back to the Rolling Pin.

Then you'd feel like a dying clown with the stink of Rin Tin Tin.

Seriously, the only thing that graphic shows is how much different localities subsidize automobile usage.

Are you glad you live in an area that promotes a very wasteful mode of transportation?

Whoooooooo are you?

3. Are the volumes comparable?

Are the world prices adjusted to per gallon or US prices adjusted to liters?

Of course, with Dems in charge, there's a slightly better chance that someone might investigate ...
