Us poor europeans in the UK are paying £1.21 a litre for petrol. That is UK litres as well, which are smaller than U.S litres!

the us doesn't use liters... I think you are talking about gallons... at which point, the US gallon is about 3.785 liters while the UK gallon is about 4.545 liters. Again opposite of what you said. I will give you kudos however in knowing that there is a difference somewhere when it comes to volume measurements...

EXPENSIVE FUEL IS NOT BAD AS EVERYONE IS SAYING
Expensive oil makes development and research of new technologies much faster!.
Rember 80's oil crisis? This when it all started. No longer heavy chrome steel bumpers, they started to make reinforced plastic ones, which were much lighter. Same with aerodynamics, to make car more economical, cars no longer looked like a brick. And look at the engines, they wanted to make cars enocomical so TDI's were introduced by Fiat, and later by AUDI.
We so many greatly economical cars because of the 80s oils crisis, remember that.

I agree, lets say you drive 10000 miles (about 16000 km) in a year. Let's say you have an average slightly aging car that gets 25mpg. To go that distance you will approximately need 400 gallons of fuel. At about $10 a gallon thats approx $4000 a year. pfft, who cares I had to pay $4500 a year for car insurance and it's not likely I will see any of that money back. If I claim anything it's like bending over so the insurance company can rape you harder. That and I don't know anyone who knows anyone that got one of those million dollar insurance claims for being hit, for which the minimum coverage protects me for.
