And I feel that's a pretty fair price, albeit still a bit too low (about 70% of it is government imposed tax).
The gas price doesn't seem to change people's minds the least of a bit - the city is still filled with 'em... the usual yada-yada in the mornings with double parking, parking in bike lanes, general swamping, traffic jams... However, bicycling is also obiqitous. Worth mentioning is that the Government is starting up congestion charging in Stockholm, which will hopefully make my through-city commute easier soon
Wow grapetonix, that's high octane, the most I've seen in the USA is 93. I'd hope that by the time fuel hits that price in the usa that more folks would turn to cycling. Something like 1% of US commuters commute by bike even though most people's commutes are less than 10 Km.
