In the UK it costs the equivalent of $80 to fill the tank of a CLK320.

If it cost that much in the US would we be discussing the merits of the CLK500 vs the CLK320? Would be interested to know what people think.

Can't you tap into the Northsea oil boom?

I think that you must be paying more than 50 % in taxes for gas in support of her Royal Highness.

...just a quick calculation: 65 gallons of gas for a boat would be $320!

In the UK it's about £3.50 a gallon so thats about $5.50 a gallon in the US.
And I think I remember hearing that all the Americans thought it was a major crisis when it went over a Dollar a Gallon LOL

And TAX on fuel in the UK is 82%

Wow!

Saudi is the only place, where I saw bootleg drinking water sold from condemned wells!

A one liter bottle of drinking water @ $1,50 makes drinking water 6 times more expensive than gasoline, or 11 times more than gasoline before the the price hike!
