Gas Prices

prizes = prices, god I want an edit function :).

Public transportation is used by about 10% of the people, of which mainly students. The rest simply drives and then to add we aren't the most expensive European country, Norway with a couple of cents per liter extra would come down on about 7.80 USD per gallon. In the US people pay even less than half of what is paid in the average European country, whilst for many countries here the public transportation possibilities are equal or perhaps even worse. But even if public transportation is good many prefer to use their own transport anyways. A major difference though is that unlike in the states we don't drive cars which do 4~5 miles a gallon here but our cars go about 6 miles a Liter making it about 21 miles a gallon. Just the few which have American cars here like hummers and those massive pickup trucks and such use such vast amounts of petrol. Fuel efficiency is rare in the states even though they like to complain about the prices so much, the responses to driving a Volkswagen or Volvo by many is a loud laugh even though they could save thousands each year on petrol. The latest models currently can go up to about 40 miles a gallon already and going up even further, especially when driving as fuel-saving as possible you can probably go up to around 21km per Liter which is nearly 40 miles a gallon already; although especially for men this is a tough job, haha.
