Hi Bob.
I will point out that your gallon, like our Canadian gallon is twenty percent larger than the American gallon.
How many miles would an average RVer drive in a year?
I realize this is a hard question to answer.
I ask because the American people feel that they drive much further so use more gas in comparison to Britain and Europe.
Hope you stick around a while.
Life is short,Death is long,
Take a vacation.

Hello, Bob from Wales:
Alas, all is indeed lost as far as rv'ing is concerned here - at least for the overwhelming majority of rv enthusiasts on this side of the pond. Some have exited gracefully and parked their rig in a permanent campsite while others have chosen to fight history to the bitter end. It's all over, Bob. Even those fortunate few who have the money will not be driving their rigs because public opinion will be so negative and hostile toward them - not to mention their own feelings of guilt in wasting a precious commodity in short supply.
There is much weeping and gnashing of teeth, and some have vowed to fight on, but it's all over. The Age of Petroleum is drawing to a close, my friend.

Oil and it's byproducts are the life blood of our existence. We HAVE to have it to live. Right now at least.
Since it is so important to us it has great leverage and those whom control it are on the end of the lever. A type of black mail then ensues.
If you want you and your family to live, then you will pay up.
If you try to call for help by creating a viable alternative fuel source such as nuclear or the doubtful Cold Fusion, then you will suffer the consequences.
If Cold Fusion had been viable it would have turned the oil companies into steel junk yards with towering monuments to the old days before enlightenment.
So now the push is for Government to step in and save us, but they are part and parcel to the hostage holders.
Capitalism is very good for the many, but bad for the few. we may, in coming years, see a merging of Capitalism and Socialism and then a slow demise of the former.
More and more people want to be cared for now. To rid themselves of the basic responsibilities of living and thinking. And as usual, there are groups that are at the ready to take on these responsibilities, but at what price.
We are going through the "Blame Game" right now, but shortly, one group will be declared the winner in this game. It will not be a Political party, but rather an ideology. It will be costly, both in dollars and personal freedom.
Who was it that said, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself".
Don't let them make you afraid with tales of horrors to come. This is how THEY gain power over us. If we keep our heads and use our brains and common sense it will all work out.
Be part of the solution and not the problem. Only Sheep can be fleeced.

What good will come out of higher fuel prices? On ABC news last night 6-24-08 they listed several US companies that have already benefited by shifting production back to the US. Couldn't find the ABC article without listening to the whole webcast but this article has some similar information:
"Stung by Soaring Transport Costs, Factories Bring Jobs Home Again"
http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/display.article?id=10958
Those that will succeed will be the ones with a "can do attitude" and make lemonade from these oil price lemons. These times just make us put our thinking caps on, if we didn't rise up to meet life's challenges our brains would just go to mush.

Please keep posts directly related to original topic. While recent comments were interesting and thought provoking they were off-topic and very political in content.

Dick --
Those posts were indeed on topic. They were not offensive and apropos to the topic at hand. They took many hours to compose. A private message would not seem like too much of a courtesy. I am very disappointed in your judgment and will not be participating further.
