next time you fill up

Consider this.



Look closely at the above picture. This bloke is filling his car in Liverpool, England. He's paying 26.35 GBP for 5 and 3/4 gallons. In US dollars that would be $8.34 per gallon!

Small cars, my posterior.

National health isn't worth it. Besides, how often does one visit a doctor already?
