~~No it's not. Typical car holds $35ish worth of gas, and that lasts 4-5 days of travel to/from work. And I lose an hour a day for a 30-ish minute drive. Woo...~~

Edit: Okay, so I can understand European pricing being stupid here. I can agree with you when it comes to gas over there. But the population density is twice as dense over there as it is in America, so obviously arguments aren't based on European gas prices. I left my comments but leave it able to be read. I'm not one to shy away from being wrong. In your instance, with gas like it is over there, I concede.
