I can relate to that mate, but here you are massively Donald Ducked without a car. I guess I could get by in NYC only, as the public transportation is not too bad here. I use the subway (the tube here) every day. However, if you want to stock up on goods or have to leave Manhattan for anything, the car is mandatory. There is no reliable and functional public transportation system outside the city, especially in the weekend. Of course we could make that same claim for London too, but I think it is to a far lesser extent. Public transport in London is far superior to the US.

In California for example, you couldn't even wipe your arse without a car. I know what Tom is talking about.

Finnster is right, you have to have a car in California. Gas prices have been going up here almost daily. It will soon be 5 bucks a gallon here as well.

Its a necessity to have a car in most of the country unfortunately. In Detroit the only type of public transport is a unreliable, dirty, sometimes scary bus system which I've never used nor plan to try. Even what little national train system we have is expensive and a hassle to use.
we just hit $4.00 here and I am not looking forward to what the price will be when I drive 1000+ miles to Florida at the end of May

I was absolutely shocked yesterday when I drove by the gas station and the price went down 2 cents to 4.09 a gallon.

Gotcha. What part of Florida are you moving to and why do you move down there for the summer? Summer job or are you like the snow birds?

$3.85 here in North Texas.

Much like Cali, must have a car to get around.  Public transportation is improving but its not even comparable to New York or DC.

Get out of Michigan for a bit, kinda wanna do something different than the usual michigan summer.Plus I've spent the last 2 summers up at school taking summer classes need a break from the monotony of continuously going to school and If I were a snow bird id be heading down in the winter. My brother (aka clintclintduece) and dad are down in jacksonville. I have a couple job opportunities down there but I am trying to find a finance internship down there.

AJames, tell CCD to chime in every now and then.

He's missed & 'we' hope he's doing well.

Ours is around $5.95aud, which I think works out to around $6.25usd on the current exchange rate. But am I right in thinking a US gallon is different to an Imperial gallon ? Actually just Googled that very question and our fuel works out to $5.00aud for a US gallon, or $5.35usd per US gallon. Public transport varies wildly here depending on where you live. I moved into the city last year and live less than 2 miles from work so I either walk or cycle. Aussies are by and large heavily dependent on their cars though, especially outside the metropolitan area. Lots of country folk, taxis and others who cover large distances are running on LPG, which is much cheaper than petrol and I believe we have pretty good reserves.

How's the Corked one getting around these days?

Did he get that foot fixed?

Not sure Mr Steve,

But I am sure that the community of Rupanyup will look after our bard to the best of their abilities. It is old school down there,they will look after their own. I have no worries on that front.
