  • So, has the price of gas doubled in Korea over the past couple years? Or is that something people over there are used to?

      You'se guys got it good! Stop the whining! (just kidding )
      What kind of rig do you drive Kiwon? A Korean diesel? I find it hard to believe that the Koreans would let the Japanese import cars.

      You'll see the occasional Lexus but that's about it. Imports still pay about a 20% duty (I think).

        Nope, gas outside the U.S. has always been high. The good ole days in Korea is gas over $4.00 a gallon.

          That is a sweet ride dude! I hate the fact that it is so hard to get the clean/efficient diesel tech over here that is available all over the damn planet.

          • $2.60 in Minneapolis. Darn. Green Bay is expensive. I guess I realized that from being there before. I'm not using to paying so much for gas when I go there.

            • yeah Harv, we can attribute that to WI being the 5th highest taxed state for gas. It actually just went down this morning, too. Was $2.93

                  Why would one want to cut emissions?

                  • You guys don't know how good you have it.

                    Using approximate currency conversion rates today and reckoning very roughly on an American gallon being about 4 litres, the price now in Ireland (and it's just dropped slightly) per gallon of petrol, in dollars, is approx. $6.40 or so per/gal at the cheapest petrol stations. Two weeks ago it was about 30 cents more.

                      Yeah, but how far do you have to drive in Ireland to get anywhere?

                        LOL. Wherever you have to go, with traffic being the way it is, your car has to idle for at least an extra half an hour.

                        • Has anyone seen $4 gas yet? Diesel just hit $4 but regular unleaded here in MN is $3.07. Looks like back home it's $3.30

                          • Do people with hybrids get to do happy dances now?

                            (I dislike hybrids, the idea of INCREASING the mechanical complexity of cars is a bummer. Electric cars have much lower maintenance than friggin internal combustion engines. Lets just get electric cars on the road, people can keep their gas guzzers for long trips.)

                            • We are averaging about $3.40 for regular unleaded in the Portland Metro area.

                                Ouch! My sad story from this thread:

                                5/13/2007 - $4.89 a gallon for diesel.

                                8/10/2007 - $5.52 a gallon for diesel.

                                5/1/2008 - $6.56 a gallon for diesel.
