Hurray For High Gas Prices!

June 18th 2007 in ideas, nyc

Always refreshing to hear an American with the exact oposite views to most – the freakonomics blog points out that the low prices for fuel in the US are responcible for many bad things.

Whilst I was in NYC there was outrage that fuel had hit $3 a gallon (£1.50 for 5 litres) and people were furious. The girl and I were laughing at the poor deluded fools, paying nearly £ a litre. There was also a brilliant advert for an SUV (fat bastard 4×4) that proud claimed “Nearly 25 miles per gallon”. Fuck me kids – 25! I think lawnmovers get that in the uk.
