If his driving skill is as good as his COH skill I'd never get anywhere near him indeed Wink.
You need some good micro to drive cars!

Also, how do you have a car, you're only 16 which puts you below the required age for a drivers license...

You know why gas is so freaking expensive in Europe? It's because of socialistic policies that put rediculous taxes on petrol in many european countries. In the US it's due to our government (both parties and not solely limited to GWB) wanting to spend rediculous sums of money overeseas continuously weakening our dollar in foreign trade.

Sounds like it could be a conspiracy, but hey it could be real, interesting none the less, and if it is real, I want to help stop it.

This is 100% fake, these guys are really a bunch of idiots.
Look at their youtube profile and just take a look at their other videos.
Although net neutrality is a real topic i don't think we have much to worry about.

Its also very expensive because oil is very expensive. Even if you removed all duty on petrol it would still cost a lot. The increases in petrol prices we are seeing are like 95% from oil price increases and 5% from tax.

Well in the UK at least. I know some countries subsidies petrol and diesal so its actually not getting more expensive, but thats not going to last long.

Well with the UK and Scandanavia, your offshore oil sources are just starting to dry up in the last few years. It's not quite dried up, but the peaks in the fields are giving you diminishing returns so you guys are starting to need to outsource more of your oil as well.

Pretty sure Britian sold the rights to all its oil in the 80s. Its all in private hands i think so we pay market value same as everyone else.

Right here where I am its about $3.50p/g and I have a 20-30mpg car, so a trip to say California from here(2000mi) it would cost around $233 to get there(expecting Petrol(Gas) to be the same al the way there)& assuming I have a 30mpg the whole way there
 
    For Phil however and his $7.88p/g and lets say 20-30mpg car as well.
The Same Trip would cost him $525(assuming the same as above)
     Explain why Americans are always complaining, look what Phil has to go through,imagine if he had a hummer!!Or M1A2 Abrams at 4gallons to a mile.OMG

Also because shipping costs are higher to get fuel to Europe.
