Gas – is very expensive here so quit your whining. It’s like 12kr a litre. ($5.48 per gallon)

Yea, that’s the problem. It’s TOO cheap in America, which results in Americans being general male reproductive organs about what they do with it. SUVs, Minivans, hummers, etc…

It had to hit, what, $4/gallon before people in the US even toyed with the notion of considering hybrid and electric vehicles as anything OTHER than a feel-good cash-sink gimmick for tree-huggers?

On an unrelated note, I seriously need to start looking into running an international business buying computer parts, and non-region-locked hardware/software in the US and selling it to people in other nations.

Have you actually priced that stuff? Even WITH buying the items retail over here AND individual shipping, I could STILL beat UK prices and turn a tidy profit.
