Ouch...gas price highest I've seen here
For the last 2-3 weeks, it's been fluctuating between $3.91 and $3.97...but this morning a whopping $4.02/gallon. But compared to Canada, Germany, UK, Australia, Norway ($8.00/gallon) we shouldn't bitch...but what makes me mad, is that in other countries with high fuel costs, the taxes on gas goes to public works/schools/healthcare...not in Fat Bastard's pocket. On a positive note, maybe this will make American's realize they don't need a Surburban, Excursion or Hemi to go to Ralph's/Kroeger or the Piggly Wiggly! It will hurt families though on a very tight budget. Kinda does suck all the way around...unless you're a CEO/CFO for an oil company ![]() |

Well UK Petrol/Desiel is running at about $8.30 - $8.80 for a US gallon (assuming my sums are correct). and thats rising on a regular basis at the moment. Add to that cars cost double in Europe yet I guess European wages, well the UK anyway are not double that of the US. Im supprised were not all on push bikes over here!

Interesting, prices on the east coast are falling..slightly. We were around $3.50 now down to $3.45.
As for those across the pond, let me know when your prices double in less then 3 years...so when you're paying a USD $16.00 a gallon..then you can complain ![]() ![]()

Also, diesel fuel in america used to be cheaper than regular unleaded but now it's more expensive than premium unleaded (at least where I live)! So, you might be getting better fuel economy with a diesel vehicle, but you're paying more for it at the pump (when compared to premium unleaded).

Used corley services on the M6 this morning and....wait for it.....wait for it...
£1.19.9 a litre! thats £5.44 a gallon! i know our uk gallons are different to the us ones so... doing some simple math means it would be $8,98 per gallon over there... i know u guys and gals have a lower cost of living but theres no way its that much lower excuse me while i just nip to the loo and throw up .... i think i speak for most of the uk when i say its begining to become a joke on top of the road tax, showroom tax and value added tax etc.. i see fuel tax discussions in most forums i go into these days!

well on average the price here is the UK 106.60P for just normal unleaded.
106.60ppl x 4.546 = £4.85 imperial x 1.20 us gallon = £5.82 x 2.01 average exchange rate for March 2008 =$11.70 per us gallon and thats normal unleaded. Diesel works out at $12.70 per us gallon. |
