Geez, gas prices went up 6 cents since yesterday! Congrats to San Diego! We have hit 3 bucks a gallon for cheapo unleaded! This is more than just a sulk, its a FREAKING SULK! You should try living here, in the outer rim, where gas prices are more than double that - even if we are the 3rd largest oil producer in the world... ID: 282975 ·

I support Prognatus, the UK is the same due to fuel tax and VAT. In US terms, based on a US gallon, we are paying about $7.50 per gallon. That is why Europe has gone over to diesel cars in a big way. Little loss in performance, but 60 mpg is not uncommon. Bloody Government and their taxes .... SULK! SULK! It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 282990 ·

I remember when i was living in the U.S. in 1990 it was about $1 USD / gallon for the cheap stuff.... I think the U.S. must have some of the cheapest fuel on the planet.... go figure. SULKORAMMA!!

However, the WUs coming through just now are taking 1.75+ hours, so must be VLARs (in the old Classic terminology). There seems to be a large number coming through, so the RAC, over time, would fall noticeably. I have a 3 day cache and only a few WUs shown as pending! SULK!

Last modified: 16 Apr 2006, 22:21:36 UTC But in Europe your public transportation systems are better than ours will ever be. That may be true for some parts of Europe, like London, Paris, Moscow, Berlin and other big cities, but I've lived most of my life in a place where the only public transport - a bus - went @ 6 PM Saturday night and the next one didn't arrive until Monday morning. This is in one of the most dense populated areas in south of this country. In the north, the situation is much much worse. Plus the gas is even more expensive in the north than here, after the government got rid of the special transport subdices for that part of the country. Large parts of North Norway is so desolate they must have a car to survive. Just imagine having 300 miles to the nearest doctor... and your wife is pregnant in her 9th month... ID: 283211 ·

I surely hope you have about 30 Macs there holding that many WUs in cache. If not, you're going to overrun deadlines BIG time. I hope I don't have any WUs that you do. SUPER SULK....
