the gas is the same in europe as it is here, the difference is in the taxes. think about that the next time a politician tries to tell us we should have "free healthcare". I lived in europe for 8 years. I was not impressed with socialized medicine. you wait, just like at the DMV. the quality is lower, the doctors were un-motivated.
The new diesels were great though. I cant wait til they start marketing them here. A sport trac with a nice 6cyl turbodiesel would be a good combination.
shame daimler had to sell chrysler, I was looking forward to the grand cherokee and chrysler 300 with a mercedes diesel. I cant understand why hybrids even exhist, they dont seem to get much better mileage and their cost is high. Oh well, if I can get a nice turbodiesel then I can do what my euro friends all did to cheat the system. they would run a blend of heating oil (low tax) in their diesel cars for about half the price of number 2 diesel.
but we do have it good here, perhaps that is why so many other countries are hateful of us. I know I would be jealous.
cheers,
