Audi has announced that the 2009 A1 might come to the North American
market, even if the other compact A3 sport wagon does not sell that
well in here. "There is absolutely a potential for that kind of
vehicle in America,"

I keep reading that petrol (Gas?) is getting expensive in the states.
But how much has it gone up in the last couple of years or so?

Well Petrol in the UK is now £1.02 a litre, that means it now costs to fill
up my A4 £67

That is approx $140 per tank, when i last went to the states I think it cost
around $20 to fill up.

I think it would probably be about double that now ($40). All depends
on size of tank etc.

However, you might think you're hard done by on fuel, but the cost of
other basics such as electricity are very much higher than the UK.

Swings and roundabouts really. Grass is not always greener etc etc

Very much higher?

Explain....

Our price for a "small" house is £600 a year for electicity, remember we
dont have stuff like swimming pools and air con, big fridges etc, so thats
over $1200 a year, how much do you pay?

We also pay £1500 / $3000 a year in council tax, Car Tax £200 / $400 a year.

I was just looking at the price Audi are going to charge us for the R8,
which looks like £77,000 for the base model, this compares to US price of
$102,000

With the current exchange rate, that is $154,000 an increase of some $52,000
and we live closer so it should cost less to import, especially as we are
part of the European Union.

So you pay $40 for gas, I fill up every week so 52 x £70 = £3640 / $7300 a
YEAR just in fuel to get to work

It sucks to live here lol, but hey someone has too

Oh and just on a side note, a house in the UK for a small 2 bed shitty
terraced is £130,000 which means alot of people here now pay nearly £1000 a
month just in mortgage payments alone.
