“It’s not going to get much better any time soon and if I wasn’t an upbeat happy-go-lucky life coach I’d use the phrase worldwide recession coming head for the hills. You’ll have to walk though because there’s no fuel.”
I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Just got back from the UK where I filled my sisters car up and it cost me about $90! The gap is narrowing to the US quickly though.

There’s no conspiracy other than the fact OPEC can make lots of money from knowing that emerging nations like China and India are needing more and more oil to satisfy their needs and they can drive prices up.

@ Evelyn: “making me wonder if the discounts are real. “. Exactly. That’s a good question.

Gas stations in Singapore offer discounts, on top of loyalty programs as well. The thing is that discounts are on throughout the whole year; making me wonder if the discounts are real. But if a gas station should stop offering one, I will stop going to do it….so yes, in an indirect way, I must say that its ad is working…LOL!!

@ Expat Mom: Guatemala. Wow. I LOVE the internet.

@ Liz: I know. SMART.

@ sheila: WOW!

@ Chris: “Needless to say, I was had.” Do you HAVE to make me laugh every single day??

@ Randall: of course!

@ Amanda: haven’t thought about it in terms of soda.

@ Sarah: really? That’s a big difference. The Bay Area is notoriously expensive, though. “We really want a hybrid vehicle soon.” – we are looking into that too.
