How much is petrol per gallon near you?

North of me in Cushing, OK. is one of the US’s largest storage facilities at 90 million barrels capacity. .. which is 13% of the Nations reserve capacity.

$4.77.9 last night . And that's with the $0.25 state tax knocked off by our governor . So $5.02.9 if we were paying the tax . $6.25.9 for diesel .

Everyday has been 4cents for the last couple weeks

$11.50 per gallon

How the hell do people even afford to go to work at those prices??... are commodities cheap or something? What's the average annual pay for an Aussie?.... and is that $11.50 converted to USD?

Average pay in Australia is between 800 to 1000 Australian dollars a week. So it's $8.16 a gallon here in American dollars . But we get free healthcare here so it works out. No paying for insurance here .

Nice!... Healthcare is a big expense for alot of Americans. Just me an the wife (both healthy) runs about $850 a month. We're self employed, so we don't have a Corp that's paying most of our monthly premiums. Some families with kids pay upwards of $2000 a month.

That's sad to hear. Everyone should be entitled to free health care. I don't know how the families over there can afford insurance .

Most of them can’t.

That's why you see so many people putting off going to the dr. because they don't have insurance. They suffer through whatever is ailing them till they go to the ER, or die. If you go to the ER (emergency room), they almost have to treat you, esp if they are slow and in the middle of the night. ObamaCare is (as far as I know) is still in place. This is a program that if you make less than $50K a year, you qualify for "some" healthcare, at almost no cost to you. It's not the best insurance, and if they see you are on ObamaCare, you go to the back of the line. It's a fucked up system. But we pay the premium to get good health care. Property taxes suck (and we own everything outright) . We pay taxes on money we make only to pay taxes on that money we spend,... again, a fucked up system. We pay taxes to the City ,County State, and the Feds... and that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you own something (like you property) you still have to pay (this is just us) $3000 USD a year just to keep the bastards from sending your property to auction. You never really "own" anything in the USA. They got you by the balls.

Well I've got decent insurance and I still put off the doctor anytime I can,

After I got the finger, I haven't been the same,

And these gas prices are giving me flashbacks.

Yeah.. me too... I have this phobia about them. I gotta do my own blood pressure at home and show my reading to the Dr. (he's cool with that), because when I do go for yearly bloodwork, it skyrockets in the office to like 160/90.... but at home, I get normal reading. I got a hernia that I really need to get fixed, but I can't be down during a grow cycle.... I guess I'll wait till it blows out into my nutsack before I get it fixed.
