Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re[2]: Completely off-topic, gas-prices
Dennis,
That may well be true, but since our British friends/colleagues don't have to put up with the EPA they get about twice the miles per unit of fuel that we do. They also don't have the desire for all of the Sport Utility Vehicles (or more properly Suburban Assault Vehicles) and their poor gas mileage that we do. It was great doing a tune up on a British spec Mazda back in the early 80's. You opened the hood and there was the engine. No hoses, catalytic converters, blowers, and other horsepower robbing stuff hung off of the side.

I know the living cost is more expensive in Europe but your E-mail is still
a shocker to me. I guess I (and a lot
of folks in the US) am not used to this kind of price jack-ups. I miss the
good old days ( yeah, about a year and half
ago) when the the gas price for the Regular is around 80 cents a gallon.
On the other hand, we are DBAs and we
are making the big bucks ( don't mean to start another off-topic thread
here ), I guess we should not be whining , right?

You think that's expensive?
I'v converted the gallon to 3.78541 Liter, and the Dollar to f2.30 dutch
guilder.
1 Liter of unleaded fuel costs f2.70 here so;
The gallon would cost us here in Holland $4.45 so two times your price! Talking about the price of living......
