One of my cars gives an instant readout for the MPG. I picked a flat
stretch of highway on my daily commute and every day drove at a different
speed to see what the effect would be. I could to 75, 70, 65, 60, but at
55, it was a danger to be on the road. I never did get a comparative
reading. Best MPG was 60.

Come on Clare - "the rest of the world" pays more for gas because of all of
the taxes they load on a gallon of gas, to fund their social programs. Why
should folks in the US care what people in Great Brittain or anywhere else
pay - we don't benefit from those programs. The US is not responsible for
the price of gas in other parts of the world.

Maybe the US is responsible at least partly, but not for the reasons you're
discussing. The US consumes the largest amount of oil in the world by almost
3x the amount of the second largest user which is China. I wonder
hypothetically if the US stopped using oil altogether, would the glut of oil
on the world market cause a price reduction by the other oil producing
countries.

Everytime I see comments about gas prices, I flashback to early sixties in
Montreal when I was a kid. Gas prices were $0.30 a gallon, bus tickets were
7.1/2 cents and chocolate bars were 10 cents. Too bad we can't travel back,
buy our gas and then flash forward. Of course it would be leaded gas, but
that would be fine for the Shelby Cobra I'd have stowed away somewhere. :)

It's your own fault -- I mean Canadians collectively, not you personally --
that gas is so much more expensive in Canada than in the U.S.
The difference is due *entirely* to taxes.

I couldn't have said it better: I (we) do not give a crap what others think
of us.
I cannot control what others think of me or my country, nor will I conform
my actions in hopes of approbation.
We are what we are and if others don't like it, they own the problem.
Regarding suicide "killers" (not just bombers), they CAN be dealt with. In
the decade of the 90s, we suffered about one terrorist attack per year (1st
WTC bombing, attacks on our embassies, the USS Cole, kidnapping ambassadors,
9-11, etc.).
As a result of 9-11, the strategy of the U.S. has been to prevent another
attack on the U.S. or U.S. interests abroad. This was quite successful in
that for ten years there was not a single offense against our territory or
to our interests abroad.
It didn't last.
There have been three such incidents in the current administration as the
president implemented a policy - of which you no doubt approve - of
adjusting our international words and actions to garner love.

That price difference should be available to whomever decided to pay
cash.
If the dealer (furniture, whatever) is willing to pay a credit card
company 3 1/2% then he should give that as a discount for cash.
Problem is... bankers don't like things to happen in cash..neither
does the IRS (Revenue Canada).

I don't see many cash vs credit differences, but the cheaper ones still do
here (07410) and there (02143). NY is always more expensive than NJ. Lets
not talk about CT ...

I asked some merchant about that. They said that the hassles of
handling cash (bank charges for depositing cash around here!) were
almost more than the cost of credit.

The Loves truck stops here in Texas do, a nickel/gallon at the ones I
pass between Houston and San Antonio on I-10.
Diesel was $3.749 cash and 3.799 credit.

A cashless society is forced upon us by the Bankers. That makes it so
much easier to control us peasants.

The credit card companies make that impossible for the merchant. Give a
cash discount, you can't accept our card.
Some, like Canadian Tire, get around it by using coupons, etc (ie:
CanTire Money) to non-credit card customers.

Arco, a unit of BP, operates the only cash and carry game in town.
They basically sell 87 octane at about $0.20/gal less than the
competition.
Want to use a credit card, fine, just add about $0.50 surcharge.

It's not all texes, buster.
In 1973 I was paying $1.65 a liter for gas that was, at best, 85
octane. Shipping cost was about half the cost - and then tax on top of
that. (landlocked central african country with no refineries)
ANd no social programs paid for by the taxes either.
Just one lane of blacktop most of the way across a country just a
touch larger than texas (290585 sq miles)

Up here it is pretty much a wash if you are going to bank the cash.

and giving 2 cents per liter discount when you DO use THEIR card.

Here (US) you cannot charge more for a CC but you can discount for cash.
There are a couple of businesses I patronize to get the discount.

1/9 the population, actually (34M vs. 313M), but who's counting? And although
you have a larger land area, we have a *lot* more road than you do (6.5M km vs
1M km).

Anyway, how come you're not using high speed rail? I thought that was supposed
to be the salvation of the universe.

I wonder if it's a legal thing. Somewhere in the dark recesses of my feeble
mind, I think I might recall that NY outlawed that kind of pricing decades
ago... but I'm not really sure. All I know is that you don't see a lot of
it - or any of it in NY anymore.

Ok - you got me. Gee - it's not *all* taxes. Still not any example of the
US causing those prices.
