In Australia a US gal works out to be around $5.65 ($1.49 per litre) for diesel.

$7.50 a US Gallon
 

In Dublin, Ireland the price of diesel has just come down to $7.50.
We are paying €1.49 a litre, $165 to fill a tank.

Sucks, cannot wait until the new X5 model comes out with the 4 cylinder twin turbo diesel with electric motors, under 6 ltr per 100klm with plenty on nm of torque.

I am nearly tempted to buy a full electric car for DD and the California & X5 on weekends............. the price fuel is not doing to get any cheaper.

There's no justification for it. Afterall, Australia fights most wars USA does.
Perhaps you should get your green party folks under control.

Its amazing isn't it, that so few can rule so many, only have to wait another 12 months for the elections and they can be thrown out from controlling the Gov't.
