Why is gas prices so expensive in UK?

[GAMES]

Its $1.60 a gallon here in my city,

But $5.45 a gallon in London, UK.

LooL horta, do Somalis there even own a vehicle or what.

because we produce our own oil. And also, Europe still depends on Russians oil.

It's called petrol, if you're gonna speak english learn the language.

I wish somalis didnt have cars here, atleast then I wouldn't see so many somali cab drivers late night when I'm trying to have a good time.

Basra u might be right, but it also has alot to do with taxes i think.

Tho, just curious, do Somalis in London own their personal cars or does everyone take the public transit?

[thehappyone]

Petrol isn't a problem, car insurance is. There's only three types of somalis that can afford insurance. Cab drivers who use it for work, single mothers, and drug dealers. Everyone else takes public transport or uber. You can't compare London to minihopless or whatever shithole you call home. Compare london to new york, it's quicker to take the d-train to manhatten than drive through the congestion.

Also most of the cars you americans drive wouldn't be considered road legal in the UK, they are too old and dangerous! My montly bus pass probably costs more than your car.

So not only are gas prices (sorry, petrol) expensive at $5 a gallon, they also charge you for an arm and a leg for insurance?

What is it expensive about insurance though? Is it because u are required to get full coverage and higher deductibles?

Damn UK sucks walaahi. In our household, there is 4 of us and 3 cars.

No wonder when i meet Somalis from UK, here in my state and i let them sit at the front passenger seat...they are all excited and act like they haven't seen a car.

gas is expensive because the proceeds goes to feed the many folks on welfare including 90% of somalis. and don't forget the council housing too. didn't you hear about that somali man who lives in a $2 million mansion on welfare....

LooL that's fucked up, but it does make sense.

It's close to two dollars in ny, but the real reason uk different is that the pound is worth more than the dollar, do the math.

[MujahidAishah]

Gamer over 50% of the petrol price is tax that the govt take.

Don't get me started on cigerettes everyone buys roll ups now
