I know now to find an open pasture when I'm refining explosive chemicals.

Oh Lordy I remember Buncefield, it blew the loft hatch down and we live about 10 miles away, probably further.

Interesting concept too.

That's a hell of a shockwave.

We had this in 2005, blew the doors out of the shop, but it's just across the street.

Ahh that's a shame, we were lucky with Buncefield in that no one died. Petrol prices fucked us over though!

[SpleenBeGone]

Isn't it pretty high there anyways?

[Calvary]

Hell yeah it is, £1.40 a litre. Roughly $2.20 a litre

You guys fill by the gallon right? 1 gallon = 4.5 litres.

[SpleenBeGone]

Yeah, that's expensive as hell. >.>
And people here are complaining that it's almost $4 a gallon.

At least it sounds like you're getting more by using liters. >.>

Well we have all this stuff about smaller cars, hybrids, electric cars and better engines. I hear over there pretty much everyone has a 4x4?

There are still a lot of small cars and such in the US, but yeah there are a lot of trucks and big SUV's.
