Gas prices are completely out of control. It used to take me 10 dollars to fill up my car. Gas prices have more than tripled, so it costs me over 30 dollars for one tank.

Whoa what kind of car do you have that fills for 10? Gas is about 3.19 here. Takes about 45 to fill my car up, sucks cause i have to put premium in it. Fortunately the gas tank in my current car is smaller than in my old car.

It's times like these when we need to take age differences into account. Ginny and I can remember a time when a tank of gas cost only ten dollars . . . or course, I wasn't old enough to drive yet . . .
I was never able to fill my tank up for $10. I didn't get my first car until I was 19, and gas prices were straddling that $2 line then.

cheapest gas you can find in san diego is 3.55 which is really shitty arco gas. Most gas stations around here are 3.68 as of today.

When I first started driving, gas was between a dollar and a $1.10. I still remember it.... ah the good old days.

I just did the conversions off of the costs you gave and 1.09 GBP per liter is 4.13 GBP per gallon, or $8.16 USD per gallon (using current conversion rates). OUCH!
