" With oil prices soaring over $130 a barrel, the average driver now spends more per week on gas than the average drug addict spends on heroin, according to a study published in the latest issue of the scientific journal, The Economics Of Street Drugs. "



Has some pop-ups, which is why I didn't direct link. My first thought over this, being the joker I am was of course comedy which is below for your enjoyment.

" Go with heroin, you can get high and still make tracks. "

Come to Europe is all I can say - we've had skyhigh gas prices for ages. And they're still going up.

Either you guys drive a lot more than we do or your Heroin is sold at cost.

$3.89 a gallon here, between work, school, taking kids to soccer practice, etc, etc people are looking at over $20 dollars a day in gasoline possibly more depending on driving distance since that'd only be 5 gallons of gas and not highway mileage. I don't even spend that much on food for an entire week to feed myself.

1.2€/liter and up over here.

If I do the math...

$5.96/gallon and up.

I'd rather stay addicted to energy drinks and avoid drugs, alcohol, tobacco AND gasoline.

We're paying $5.69 for a gallon (we measure in litres) of the cheapest fuel we can get - better stuff ranges up to about $6.63.

Adjusting for the conversion between our dollars and yours, we're probably paying around $6.20 for a gallon.

You'll forgive the lack of compassion for your expenditure.

There's a place 'round here where the cheapest you can get is 4.15

my dad drives 40 + miles to work, then back 4 + times a week........


Rape.

GM, where's my EV1???????????

And I think that people are greatly underestimating how much a heroin habit can set you back.

My grandfather's daughter (no relation of mine) managed to get herself a three grand a week habit.

She was a bricklayer so she had a high income for a while there but it wasn't hard for her to spend more than $3000 on heroin in a week.
