How much are you paying for gas / petrol?
Depends on where in the world you're parked. In oil-producing nations like Venezuela and Iran, you can fill up for as little as 17 cents a gallon. But in tax-happy Germany and South Korea, you'll pay more than six bucks. So even when prices hit near-record levels in the US, American drivers get off cheap compared with European motorists.

Anyone heard of helium 3? Supposedly, there's a mega-ass-ton of it on the moon. I saw it on Discovery chanel. Apparently this stuff is the equivalent to expendable resource gold. It's a pretty big debate right now wether to mine the stuff or not. Do a search for helium 3 or go here--> http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/helium3_000630.html to read more.
Seafox, Where do you live?? $3.97 today in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
I agree that hydrogen fuel cells may be very important to our future, but people fail to remember that hydrogen its self is not a fuel SOURCE. Hydrogen does not occur naturally in any usable concentration. It takes a large amount of electricity to produce the hydrogen we need...electricity that is currently produced by burning fossil fuels and landscape destroying dams.
I know it's not a popular opinion, but until new energy sources can be developed (solar, wind, geothermal) nuclear energy might be our cleanest choice.

btz, your price for petrol in London, UK is a little out of date. In tax-crazy Britain, the cost of a gallon is a wallet busting £4.50 UKP, that's an incredible $8.95 - the most expensive petrol in the World!
