You're not looking at the bigger picture.
Fuel costs may be higher here but you need to consider average amount of fuel used and average earnings.
I commute a higher distance than is normal, my average weekly fuel bill is around £23 which is around 6% of my weekly take home pay, I earn a fair bit less than the UK average.
Is it a good time to mention the NHS...?
So don't feel sorry for us, we don't have to put up with The Donald.
Once he starts digging that coal up again the great american car industry can get to work building new steam driven cars. :lol:
