Hive got you under my skin

Can't they use the reason that lighter cars are more visible, especially at night and therefore cause less accidents?

Nope because apparently driving n a virtual desert in a dark painted car causes people to be more likely to turn on the AC when if they are driving in a light colored car. NEVERMIND that the state which is writing that law heavily taxes the sale of gasoline, or the fact that automakers are making more and more hybrid or electric cars as a result of Americans wanting to be "greener" and as a result of "peek oil production".

It rubs the lotion on it's skin or else it get the hose again.

Nah they just made it brain flavoured, which had the unforunate complication of when they actually came to feed they smeared the brains all over their body instead of eating them.

You know, I feel sorry for the Mayor in the game... Imagine how much damage he might be accidentally recieving as a result of Sven's 'protection."

Unless I'm mistaken the Uk has a high tax on its petrol.

50.35 pence per litre whatever that means

Yeah, but out of the whole US, California's taxes are the worse (8-10% sale tax depending on city (Los Angeles has 9 or 10% sales tax, I'm not really sure because some new proposed tax increases are about to be voted on in may) and about 63 cents per gallon gasoline tax which the sales tax is also added onto).*


Sure this doesn't seem alot but then again, I doubt the average Londoner's doesn't have to drive as far as the Average Californian does for work, school and everything else (in huge heavy fuel inefficient cars).


*You should hear some of the tax based insanity that's being proposed in California due to our state being on the verge of bankruptcy. Its insane considering that at least one entire region in California has 12-15% unemployment and many large companies are leaving the state due to business expenses.

Don't worry - it's not going to be law. It was some research done on how best to reflect light by paint and windows, which got spun into a news story.

Currently UK fuel duty is 64p per litre of gasoline, or the equivalent of $4.28 per US gallon. Driving in the UK is *far* more expensive than the US
