Well us brits like to be different :)
Seems like a bad idea though, wasn't there a recent mistake on one of the space missions because of difference in measurements ?

It's the Octosquids. They're taking out all the Offshore rigs and refineries, so we'll be fighting amongst ourselves and won't be prepared when they begin Operation Calamari. That, and our stuff, uh won't work, cause our tanks won't have no gas.

Operation Calamari? Then this fuel crisis must be Operation Appetizer. It will all end with Operation Just Deserts...oh dear - I'm hungry now.

Sounds like its time to give a kick in the pants to mother nature with some a-bombs in the ocean. Like dynamite fishing, but even better.
Of course, others have mentioned supply and demand, and that is having the biggest effect in the recent price increases. But the stranglehold on new refineries is hurting, though those effects will take longer.

I just wish we could flash forward technologically 20 years when we won't need gas for cars anymore.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: So Why Is Gas So Expensive?
A lot of the problem is India and China developing more and more, and now taking more and more fuel. just blaming the conflicts in the middle east and Oil companies isn't taking the whole picture into effect.
Amen to thatI just wish we could flash forward technologically 20 years when we won't need gas for cars anymore.
