It works out as something like that in the England. Just wondered what your attitude would be.

I'd expect to make more money to compensate... and I would drive less.

Mortgages would go unpaid car repair would not happen except for warranty repair. Mechanics would go out of busness. Oh S*it! That is happening already. And to top it off we will be buying Smart cars Diesel fuel will get less sulfur and maby some one from england will start importing converting to left drive Vauxalls. I drive a 6.0L Holden Monaro left hand drive we call GTO Pontiac in the states. At $3 I intend to get my share of over 400, V-8 horsepower and pass the little putt putts so fast it blows them off the road.

I was involved with a BBC Radio & TV special in May of 2005, called "Costing The Earth"
Tom Heap & crew spent 4 days driving one of my flex-fuel vehicles here in the U.S. studying ethanol.
Ethanol is just one of the alternative fuels that the U.K. is looking at to help environmentally.
Here in the American Midwest we make ethanol from corn or maze. However it can be produced from wheat or barley in your part of the world.
Brazil produces ethanol from sugar cane & Brazil is near 100% independant of foreign oil.
Most Americans don't realize that the only way to reduce gas prices is to reduce consumption.
They blame rising prices on the government & oil companies.
Please see my BEST ANSWER about gas prices , asked by Donna T .
Obviosely, there is no magic wand that the Bush administration can wave to reduce gas prices either.
If there was I'm sure he would use it to better his approval rating !
And I would think he would lend that wand to Tony Blair to help you out ! LOL
I do feel your pain about fuel prices in the UK and I don't think most Americans understand how good they actually have it. It probably has the Brits shaking their heads in wonder & disbelief at all the whining they see here @Answers about $3 gas prices!
All of the whining in the world won't help .....
We must each take responsibility & action.
If you can ....say "Hello" to Catherine Woods & Tom Heap of the BBC from Vicky a.k.a. Ethol in America !
Thanks!

Rioting, mass suicides, complete and utter mayhem.
And that's just the soccer moms!
One thing in all seriousness I think would happen is main streets across the country would see booming business again to the downfall of Wal-Mart stores etc. You'd opt for the shorter trip over a few cents saved on price.

permit Obama tilt at that windmill. i will assure he would be a one hit ask your self and the liberal/revolutionary reason can kiss political ability away for a competent quarter century. maximum individuals have self belief utilising is a top (i do no longer) and decide for to have the skill to tutor on their lights (I do) and consume some thing different than field mice (no longer some thing i'd decide for... till Obama and his ilk additionally are made to step as much as the buffet). At our worst, we are grasping, self-involved souls. it incredibly isn't a swipe, basically a lead to keeping with remark. you spot this displayed every time the sacred cows of Medicaid or Social protection are questioned. If people cannotchronic, consume, stay heat or easy the dark, the ideology that made that take place would be crucified.

I live in a rural area that doesn't have public transportation -- no bus, train, subway, NOTHING. I would have to continue to drive my car to work and the grocery store until more public transportation was put in my area.
It's not the same here as it is over there as far as public transportation goes. So, $8.00/gallon -- let's not hope it comes to that but in reality I would just have to bite the bullet and keep on driving.

I currently ride my bike to the train station and take the train into the city for work. I could get by with minimal gas usage.

I would not mind. I would rather pay eight dollars a gallon if I knew that our money would not go to terrorist countries such as Iran.

I believe Id have to go look at mopeds! That would sure give me an excuse to get one. I think they would in fact be fun to drive, except when its pouring down rain or when it hailing here in Texas! That's my back up plan!
