Don't get me started on gas?????I don't think that i can add something to this.I have too much alcohol to say something.(i can break the monitor right now).

You guys have a lot more public transportation (the good kind where you don't have to keep your razor blades tucked in your ass to avoid getting raped [male or female]).
Plus you guys have been paying high gas prices forever and drive cars that reflect that.
We're used to decent gas prices and driving around in monster trucks and hot rods that get 5-7 miles to the gallon just to impress the babes. We probably shed a ton more tears when our gas goes up to $3.00 than when your petrol is up at $6 US a gallon.
You guys in the usa have it easy when it comes to house prices. Check out this comparision site for usa and uk stuff (don't know how old it is) USA vs UK Houses page contains estate agents property price comparison of United States Of America and United Kingdom
LA sucks my man you can have my apartment, as for gas prices we have our own oil suplies ie since we desecrate alaska we get cheaper gas 
As for the other stuff ya it's kinda bullshit but lets see, you guys make more on average, get 3-4 weeks of paid vacation a year etc etc

I can only imagine what kind of babes you impress with monster truck.I think that the "babes"* are too heavy to ride in anything less than monster truck
The average house in the USA is MUCH bigger than one in the UK, especially London. My parents home is worth £900k (nearly $2 million), it isn't even in central London yet it is nowhere near as big as a house you can get in America for half of that price.
Only joking, fuck 'em...
WTF That's it USA here I come!

I think the confuson lies in the symantics.
In England, petrol is what we here in the States call gasoline or "gas".
1 gallon is equal to 3.8 liters so if we are paying 3.25 USD for a gallon of regular unleaded gas, in England they would be paying about .85 USD per liter.
The problem now lies in the exchange rate. 1 British Pound is equal to 2.10 USD. So if one of our Bristish friends came over on holiday, rented a car over here and paid for gas, it would cost him/her .40 per liter.
The dollar is so weak compared to other countries that it makes it a bargain to visit the US on holiday and or/ buy properties here. On the other hand, it hurts the Europeans to sell their good here because their currency is so strong in comparison to the Dollar. It makes their products more expensive here.

Fuck. Minimum wage here in Arizona JUST (like in the last 4-5 months or so) got bumped up to like $7 something an hour... This JUST happened...
Before it did though, Minimum wage here in the Lovely Sweltering "Valley Of The Sun" we call home here in Arizona, was a mere $5.15 an hour.
I know people that WISH they made $12 an hour to start. lol
A lot of my friends work for under $10 an hour... Some of them around 9...
The ones that make decent money (upwards of $14 an hour) are working labor jobs...
Construction and the like...
And as you can imagine, when your average daily temp here during the summer is 115 degrees or so, that sucks.
Then again, you can get a brand new 2300 sq. ft. 2 story home, complete with 18" tile floors, granite everything, cherry cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a modern multi tone interior paint scheme, in a gated community, for around $250,000.
I'm basing this on the most recent house I rented. That describes it exactly, and I measured my bedroom + bath + walk in closet at just over 500 sq. ft.
Not bad for 250 g's
Or how about something like this...

Maybe it isnt the best, I dont know, but growing up in San Diego, it seems damn cheap to me, as that house would cost $700,000 - $1.1 mil in San Diego.

What I meant was that if gasoline was sold by the liter here, we'd be paying .85 USD per liter.
Lol, Lucky!

Scroll down a lil bit til you see the listings in yellow, and check those out...
$3.99 A GALLON!!!
I'm going to buy another diesel truck and start stealing fuel from Big Rigs if this shit keeps up!
I could do that, and sell it @ $2.50 a gallon, and do like the Mafia, and make a killing! Hahaha
Hmm... Maybe I shouldn't reply to posts without reading them twice. haha
I didn't think to factor in the liquid volume.
Liter vs. Gallon
: \
Still way too damn expensive though.
I mean, we are the United States.. Wtf is going on?
We should be lowering the prices down to $1 a gallon, then charging other countries for the rest!

DAND DOOD!
My appartemnet is worth $200,000!!! And its only a 2 bedroom place about the size of a shed! haha.
I do live in Devon though, which is one of (if not THE) most expensive places to buy a home in the UK.
My mates parents have an average sized 3 bedroom house with a big garden in the country which is worth just under $1,000,000.
House prices are insane.
I just filled my 60litre tank for nearly 90 euros, thats over 130 USD 
paying 1,53 euro per litre, that's about 2,21 USD
