Hardly reasonable compared to the rest of the civilised world :-) Cost here at present is approx A$1 per litre (US$3.50? per gal) and rising. Not quite as bad as UK. Poor William.

Wouldn't that be related to gas taxes and production though? Anyone know the true cost of the gas? Not that gas taxes are bad; at least they are equally applied to road projects.
Oh, fun numbers: http://www.gaspricewatch.com/USGas_index.asp
State Tax/Cents per gallon State Tax/Cents per gallon Alabama 18 Montana 27.75 Alaska 8 Nebraska 24.6 Arizona 18 Nevada 23 Arkansas 21.5 New Hampshire 18 California 18 New Jersey 14.5 Colorado 22 New Mexico 17 Connecticut 25 New York 29.65 Delaware 23 North Carolina 23.4 Dist. of Columbia 20 North Dakota 21 Florida 14.1 Ohio 22 Georgia 7.5 Oklahoma 17 Hawaii 16 Oregon 24 Idaho 25 Pennsylvania 25.9 Illinois 19 Rhode Island 30 Indiana 18 South Carolina 16.0 Iowa 20.1 South Dakota 22 Kansas 23 Tennessee 20 Kentucky 15 Texas 20 Louisiana 20 Utah 24.5 Maine 22 Vermont 20 Maryland 23.5 Virginia 17.5 Massachusetts 21.5 Washington 23 Michigan 19 West Virginia 20.5 Minnesota 20 Wisconsin 31.1 Mississippi 18 Wyoming 14 Missouri 17 Federal Tax Rate 18.4
No surprise, PA has 5th highest taxes. So why is gas cheaper? Prices for the cheapest octane, what I buy, in south central PA range from $1.58 at a discount member only station to $1.69. My 23mpg car needs a part that has not been located yet so driving 14mpg truck.
I'm not against high gas prices. A women at work was complaining about them; yet she choose to buy a house 30+ miles from work, away from bus lines, and drives to her boyfriends house every weekend, a 300 mile round trip.
