Just FYI, gasoline in Hong Kong is the most expensive in the world: $5 per gallon.

My cousin had an ancient 420 SEC, and it costs him $100 each time he fills it up!!

You’re supposed to buy milk at the grocery store, not the corner RAPE-MART “convenience” store.

EXACTLY!!! I really wish ppl would stop complaining about gas. A soda a restaurant cost 1.25, and thats just 1 freaking cup of colored sugar water. Gas is so freaking cheap, thing about it. They have to find a oil field, make the drills, drill it, refine it, send it to the States from the middle east, and distribute it.
