I took a loan

[Pekka]

to fill the tank of my car.

It was almost dry, and I took a full tank of gas. Guess how much it costed? Normal car, not monster truck.

70 euros. 70 freaking euros for full tank of gas!!

Where can I send my thanks? It's a joke that's what it is. Thank goodness I don't drive much but still.. 70 euros for a full tank of gas. At 1.3 euros per litre, well I guess it's a bit expensive!

HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY!

We don't need to start a war against oil countries. We need to start raining bombs on the ones who hog the oil and everyone in the process who profits from this. Everyone who is in the way of making the alternatives cheaper, we need to send missiles to their freaking homes.

What a coincidence. I went to minus on my current account today for the largest amount yet - 35 euros. It's not a good feeling for me, but I should have some inflows soon to cover it. Still, I wish those things didn't exist.

[Spiffor]

Pekka, isn't there any good mass transit system in your city?

[Pekka]

Right, my weak link is that I don't have an income to settle this, it's going to go more into the minus section as the year progresses and the next year starts. Well, such is life sometimes. It's not so much the loan (small one), it's the fact that a full tank of gas is 70 euros. That's a joke.

deadbeat

Spiffor, what do you think this is? No there is no GOOD mass transit anywhere except Helsinki. Forget about it.

[Pekka]

Also here's another fun cat, the mass transit is MORE expensive than private driving with your car.

Mostly, it's the result of punitive taxes in Finland, dude. IOW, it's y'all's own damn fault. Don't throw eggs at the oil companies or those who "hog the oil." Elect responsible politicians.

[Pekka]

Don't tell me who to throw eggs at.

Let the good times roll! woot! 70 euros per tank!

If it wasn't for your businesses, these bumps wouldn't happen, period. Stop talking ****. We'd be still at 1 euro per litre, outrageous figures, without dubya ****ing it all up.

Err, where do you taxes go then?

[VetLegion]

The interest on this type of debt is 15% a year. Prohibitive! How much is yours?

[DanS]

Hey, I understand your frustration. But when the price including taxes bears no resemblance to the actual cost of the commodity involved, that's when you get these problems.

Finland masks the underlying rising prices by punitive taxes. Indonesia and India subsidize the gasoline so that people overconsume. China forces its oil companies to sell for a loss, so that people overconsume.

Bush can't do a damn thing about other countries' actions. In the US, the price of gasoline is marked very closely to the cost of the underlying commodity. We're the good guys.
