When do you think people in the U.S. will start protesting the gas prices? How high would they have to be? Just curious as to what you think.

    Probably when it's as high as the UK.

    Well I can't speak for everyone, but I need to get to work and my kids need to be at various places. I can't go without.

    I believe it's close to $8 a gallon there.

    I believe it's close to $8 a gallon there.

    Around £1.37 per litre.

    so about $9.45 per gallon or about $7.98 per American gallon.

    Besides hurting people, I'd have to buy a damn Prius. I already spend $200 a month on gas. If that almost doubles I'd have to change jobs.

    My husband commutes an hour one direction to get to his job and I 45 minutes to get to mine. Together, we spend some 400$US each month just to get the paychecks. I pick up a coworker along the way so mine is not so painful when it is time to fill the tank. His coworkers refuse to carpool under any circumstances... they see it as low-class or some rot as that. Fortunately, he drives a Yaris to work!

    Yeah I drive a diesel that does 53mpg average but I still cycle to work to save on fuel, and burn calories!

    Even if people did protest, the prices wouldn't change.

    Only when gas is pricey will we change our ways. So I say let it come, and then people will clamor for alternatives :) We all make our beds,, lie in them.

    Oh lord the terrible thing about the US is we arent set up like Europe where we can live without a car. Good luck living in Phoenix or LA.

    hahaha--- if we don't protest wars you think we will protest gas prices? The only damn thing we would get off our *kitten* and protest against is a beer ban.

    almost EVERYONE in this country is too ignorant and too happy to change things. Our poorest have more perks that rich in other nations. As long as we can have people be the victim instead of taking responsibilities then nothing will change.
