    So for GW to think longer term he'd have to be in office for a lot longer. Now that IS a scary thought

    While the US is HUMMER central, I seem to remember a lot of V8 Mercedes and BMWs when I visited London a few years ago. The sad thing is that these are not the people complaining about gas prices (they can afford it). The people who need lower gas prices are already driving more fuel efficient cars.

    Anniesland, man that brings back memories, I used to live in the West End of Glasgow on Hayburn Crescent, pretty close to Byres Road, great street for a night out

    I live in Newton Mearns or "the village" as my mum likes to call it and while the local BP station has the highest prices (at 93.9p today if i remember right) it is also the only local station with a working air pump. If I go to the Esso station further down the road, I'll pay 89.9p for my fuel, but the air pump there doesn't work properly and when it does - you have to pay to use it ! The situation is a little crazy no ?

    It's a nice idea, but the fuel prices do change frequently - for the worst in most cases
