Price of gas

[Rich]

Are you sure about that Rich becasue US long power line are now mostly 1,000,000 volts.

How about your appliances, are they still 110volts?

No the American Standard is 125 volts. Of course commercial and industrial have entirely different standards.

 

[Rich]

No the American Standard is 125 volts

Then bring them up to 240/250volts

 

[FoFa]

Wrong again Fofa.

Nope
Google OIL GLUT see if you come up with anything recent.
GOOGLE OIL REFINERY PRODUCTION andd see what comes up.

Humm, 0 for glut, many for refinery production at max and can't keep with demand.

Many house hold appliences are 250 volts, its mostly only hand held stuff that's 125.

Plus we have transformers very close the the users so voltage drop is not that costly.

Gosh you're getting to sound cynical, looks like the British influence is having an effect

but that is a BAD comparison.
Say your gas was $4.00 a gallon, a year and half ago, now today it is $8.00 a gallon, that is what the U.S. is going through. Your Big Mac's are about twice ours also, so what, to bad, so sad. But you have national health care, so it's worth it if I basically remember the other posts on that subject.

We had cheap petrol and an NHS once. Now we have the $8 gallon and an NHS thats falling apart

There was a thing in the paper about 8 or 9 months ago when we had a big price rise in fuel that said because of the impending Iran situation and the current Iraq situation and the ongoing civil war in Nigeria - the USA stockpiled huge amounts of fuel in case of a worldwide shortage.

Still, as long as the USA motorists are ok - sod the rest of the world eh chaps? which incidentally seems to be the USA attitude to pollution controls.

You're missing the point here Col, apparently the US is a big country and thus need huge gas guzzlers, inneficient and dirty coal fired power stations, and don't have or can't have any public transport

We have metros (public transports). And yes Col sod the rest of the world, if it comes down to it.

 

[Rich]

And yes Col sod the rest of the world, if it comes down to it.

And you wonder why the rest of the world feels the same towards you

 

[ColinEssex]

That certainly confirms what we percieve as the American attitude

Do you have any of these in the USA? They are fairly popular here and even the Police use them in Bristol. They're called Smart Cars.

No! It looks too much like a Campbell's Tomato soup can.

Don't worry, when your petrol reaches $8 a gallon - they'll be a familiar sight on US roads.

They do come in different colours
