@Euro looking for a green card really? A lot of planning? That’s interesting. I can’t imagine. I just get in my car and go.

2018-12-14 17:15:03 UTC  

Our GDP is so high because of having been very lucky in having jumped on the right train at the right time and having had really good Prime Ministers with lots of foresight.

2018-12-14 17:15:23 UTC  

Money comes mainly from the steel industry and more recently banking.

2018-12-14 17:15:44 UTC  

Oh ok. That’s kind of what I was going for. Looks like Liechtenstein is even higher

2018-12-14 17:16:00 UTC  

Fucking 168k USD

2018-12-14 17:16:05 UTC  

@Salacious Swanky Cat Slightly exaggerating, but yes 3 hour drives are actually an event for us.

2018-12-14 17:17:19 UTC  

Afaik we have the highest GDP in Europe usually trading places with Switzerland every so often.

2018-12-14 17:17:32 UTC  

I’m looking at per capita

2018-12-14 17:17:34 UTC  

@Euro looking for a green card it doesn’t surprise me because driving is so expensive there.

2018-12-14 17:17:47 UTC  

Gas is crazy expensive in Europe

2018-12-14 17:17:56 UTC  

1.82 gets you a gallon here

2018-12-14 17:18:10 UTC  

It's actually been alright for a few years. Comparatively speaking.

2018-12-14 17:18:25 UTC  

How much is gas there?

2018-12-14 17:18:29 UTC  

But we will soon get raped on Diesel, it seems.

2018-12-14 17:18:47 UTC  

I think it's around 1.1€/l

2018-12-14 17:19:05 UTC  

Lux is about the cheapest in Europe when it comes to gas though.

2018-12-14 17:19:22 UTC  

Is luxembourg part of the EU?

2018-12-14 17:19:31 UTC  

Lux was one of the founders

2018-12-14 17:19:33 UTC  

That’s like 4.15 euros/gallon

2018-12-14 17:19:50 UTC  

1.1€ would get you over 2.5 liters here

2018-12-14 17:19:59 UTC  

So it’s more than twice as expensive

2018-12-14 17:20:07 UTC  

That’s really expensive dude

2018-12-14 17:20:08 UTC  

At least where I live

2018-12-14 17:20:12 UTC  

And as I said Lux is very cheap when it comes to gas

2018-12-14 17:20:24 UTC  

That’s a big yikes from me dawg

2018-12-14 17:21:27 UTC  

Hey, if your country is shy of 1000 square miles, gas prices really aren't your issue 😃

2018-12-14 17:22:02 UTC  

True.

2018-12-14 17:22:29 UTC  

I don’t know. If I lived in Rhode Island I still wouldn’t wanna pay 4 bucks a gallon if I didn’t have to

2018-12-14 17:23:01 UTC  

But living in cities where you can bike and walk is also more common in Europe

2018-12-14 17:23:02 UTC  

Bare in mind our cars have a much lower consumption on average than US cars.

2018-12-14 17:23:21 UTC  

I don’t know. My car gets 30 mpg

2018-12-14 17:23:37 UTC  

And it’s not considered to be efficient here

2018-12-14 17:24:59 UTC  

A Fiat 500 only gets 33 mpg on the highway. But we definitely do a lot more driving because of our living situations

2018-12-14 17:25:13 UTC  

Yeah sounds pretty good, if my calculations are correct mine does 21 mpg

2018-12-14 17:25:28 UTC  

it's a Diesel though

2018-12-14 17:25:31 UTC  

Mine is more like 23 if I’m exclusively driving in the city

2018-12-14 17:25:44 UTC  

Diesel is more expensive here usually

2018-12-14 17:25:53 UTC  

I don’t know how much the going rate is for that right now

2018-12-14 17:25:56 UTC  

hm, other way around here.

2018-12-14 17:26:09 UTC  

I want to get an electric car.

2018-12-14 17:26:19 UTC  

Very few cars run on diesel here. It’s mostly big trucks
