I was in Holland last week and they pay 1.50 Euro per litre. This is 2.25 USD at almost 4 litres per gallon. Due the math on that one although I realize it is relative.
This is killing me. My primary driver is my diesel dually (whih I only have because of my boat) and I trailer mine each weekend.
Don't we have a stop the bleeding smiley? Someone needs to creat one of them...

Somebody PLEASE tell me where you can buy fuel for a boat cheaper than the the good 'ol US, and stop all this whinning!!! If you can't afford the boat, car, or SUV, then sell it and move to Canada where you can get free health care (IF YOU CAN QUALIFY FOR IT!)(Oh, and let me remind you that your taxes in Canada to subsidise fuel cost and health care are on average 52%). That's right!!! If you want to have that lifestyle, then keep supporting the activists that don't want to drill for fossil fuels in Alaska and Florida. OR - quit whinning and help people that make things happen for our cause AND OUR COUNTRY! Sorry to be so terse, but I know there are a lot of boaters out there that agree with this. Call me George Carlin if you want - then I can identify you as one of the WHINNERS! PLEASE NOTICE I SAID WHINNER, not
POSITIVE WINNER!
POSITIVE WINNER!

True your gas is is higher, but in Europe & Canada don't you have Socialize Medicine that is paid in part by higher gas tax ? Here in the States I pay $1250.00 a month for Medical for myself and two son's, plus a high duductible. Medical cost are a big problem here, so there are many things to consider with the price of gas difference.

Satisfied One,
Hope this Country Shuts Down??? Only if Hillary or Obama get in. If they do, you will have your wish, because we won't have a county as you now it, where men and women fight for the right for people like you to have opinions like that, say stupid s**t like that and disrespect our military. I think I have the right to order a burger at McDonalds in ENGLISH. Don't EVEN get me started! I have a lot of friends in Iraq and AF, and Kuwait that talk to me every day and tell me that we are the best thing for the women, children, and good working men of those soon to be free countries. Please PM me so I can enlighten you.
