Gas prices back under $2/Gallon in the US

The accident was horrible, and not something I'd wish on anyone.

Cowardly gas prices. The gas is over $6/gallon in Sweden again.

You can look up the gas prices for one of the cheapest companies in Sweden here. You have it in the US too, if I'm not mistaken. One krona is about 15 cents and a liter about 1/4 of a US gallon.

Here is a site for the US:

You can click your state or enter your zip code to find the cheapest gasoline prices in your area.

Conoco is the company that owns Jet. In Denver Conoco's regular costs $3.299/gallon. In my town it costs $5.971/gallon, and that's one of the lowest prices in Sweden.

Here it would be heading for $8/US gallon...

That's cowardly. Environmentalism is almost as cowardly as pacifism.

Blame your greedy government.  The biggest part of the high cost for gasoline is the tax.  I read that in England, the gasoline tax is three times the wholesale pre-tax price.

Yeah, I know, fucking morons, saving the planet, avoiding war and other nonsense. Where's the logic in THAT?

Since I hadn't read this thread before,
I saw discussion of gas being under
$2/gal. I was thinking, "that's funny -
seems like it was over 3 last I looked."

that is completely true. a few years ago there were protests over the outrageous duty on road fuel, led by the hauliers and farmers - there were rolling roadblocks, picketed filling stations, refineries blockaded, fuel hoarding and shortages. If I remember rightly it saved us a few pence a litre.

I think the truck-drivers have protested against the prices on diesel a few times in Sweden. They're usually not cowards. Many truck-drivers smuggle booze, cigarettes and even guns -- like real men.

Real men sneak things over the border?

Ah, how the swedes have fallen.
Once, real men crossed the border openly
with alcohol firearms and other fun
stuff, just to go party outside
the country.

I know. The Swedes smashed Denmark, Poland and even Russia. One of my own forefathers was a privateer when Charles XII was King of Sweden. Sweden is totally lost.
