Fuel prices.
 
How much is the fuel per litre in other countries?

I filled my car up last night, fucking £1.10.9 per litre here in the UK.
Normal unleaded being £1.03.

I have to use the high octane rating of 99 because my car is a jap import but ffs, the last time i filled it up it was £1.06.

Surely we aren't the only ones getting fucked on fuel?

oke but how much is a gallion in liters? and 2.87 is already less then i pay, but i am sure a gallion is much more then a liter

Bobc01 2008-01-25 05:13 PM

I think the US gallon is less than the european as here it's about 5 litres.

Edit: 2.52 euro is £1.80, that's seriously high per litre.

wel alot of people think that holland is cheap, but hell holland isnt cheap and some webmasters from usa or other countries who moved to here found that out in real life and move again to an other country:D

stuveltje 2008-01-25 05:23 PM

well maybe soon i have to move, i readed a news message about the fbi and some other countries warned holland and the european countries about the anti m*slim movie some dutch goverment guy is making , they expect when the movie will come out, hell will break loose, even Iran warned the dutch goverment to not show the movie, but we have freedom of speech......bad things are comming here, you can see it on the news and all the people who are reacting and telling what they think, most places here in holland are prepared , extra police forse and all

I don't think anywhere is cheap anymore. :(

stuveltje 2008-01-25 05:31 PM

well for this year holland got 20 kinds of new taxes...the stranges tax i have ever heard, but it will cost us, but they are already making an new tax, firework tax will also get in this year, they want 10% fireworktax, well that was the deal but since no tax here in holland is under the 20 % the firework tax will be 20% instead of 10%

Emerald 2008-01-25 06:50 PM

98.6 a litre over here in Orillia Canada

1 liters = 0.264172051 US gallons

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres

so that means we are paying $3.73 a gallon (If I did the math correct)
seems expensive when I do the conversion :(

emerald hell you pay much less too then me, i dont understand why the hell we pay so much for gasoline

stuveltje 2008-01-25 06:57 PM

a lot of dutchies living by the border get their gas at germany or belgium, just because they have to pay less there, for me its to far to drive to the border

Bobc01 2008-01-25 07:08 PM

I think it depends on the octane rating, i got told the US fuel is fairly low grade but i'm not sure how it compares.

ArtWilliams 2008-01-25 07:45 PM

A C$1.00 / litre in Toronto. That's .5 GBP or .68 Euro.

Mr Exotic 2008-01-25 08:39 PM

Cheap gas is 87 octane here which is anywhere from 2.87 to 3.18, its jumps around in that range day to day. mid grade is 89 or 90 and its 10 cents more than 87, then the premium is 92 or 93 octane and is usually 10 cents more than the mid grade.

matyko 2008-01-26 02:39 AM

Common quality gas is $1.64 here in Hungary / liter. Thats ~$6.2 / gallon.
I wish it would be more here: less cars/smog and more cyclers would be in the city.

32k cyclers demonstrate for more bike roads and less smog in Budapest 22th Sept 2007

Very nice panorama pic

thousands of bikes in the air [pic]

Paul7 2008-01-26 04:23 AM

I pay here in Slovakia around 2$+ for a liter and it's still going up

SuzzyQ 2008-01-26 05:08 PM

I just paid $3.35 a gallon here in Connecticut.

Bobc01 2008-01-26 06:28 PM

I think we should invade a few more oil rich countries so we pay less.

ArtWilliams 2008-01-26 10:39 PM

"Canada's proven oil reserves were estimated at 179.2 billion barrels as of 2007, placing it second only to Saudi Arabia." --- from Wiki

Why not invade Canada?

I paid $3.67 gallon for diesel the last time I filled up. Gas was about 50 cents cheaper. I have no problem paying more for fuel since the US obviously pays was too little. But, I will never understand why diesel is more expensive than gas. It requires less refining and should be cheaper. Much like back when there was leaded and unleaded gas. The lead had to be added to be leaded. And yet, unleaded was more expensive.

Diesel is much more harmful for the environment, maybe some extra taxes on it... As far as I know in Japan they dont even allow to run diesel powered cars. They only allow to fuel trucks/bigger machines with it.

1.076€ per liter here in Slovenia today.

Even if we did we'd still pay high taxes on it, though i suppose we could invade, fuck all your women and drink all your beer, would be much more fun. lol

Funny thing with what Jim said, they seem to load prices on Eco friendly things, BIO fuel is more expensive to buy but cheaper to refine.
You can run a diesel car on cooking fat yet over here they tax it.

I think most of this so called "Green living" is just a way to tax us more.

Fonz 2008-01-27 08:04 AM

I pay 1.1€/liter (6.05 USD/gallon) for diesel and 1.4€/liter (7.7 USD/gallon) for regular.

I know it's much more harmful and if that was the reason for the higher price, I wouldn't care. But, there is no extra tax on diesel..it's just more expensive now. The strangest part, sometimes it's not more expensive than gas.

That might be because it's more economical than petrol, a kind of "you pay more because you use less" type thing.

secretagentwilly 2008-01-27 09:54 AM

$3.19 but if I buy $50 worth of groceries (not tobacco, gift cards, or alcohol) I'll get $0.15 off each gallon...without the $0.15 off, the normal discount is $0.03 for safeway club members...it's not worth it to buy the groceries at safeway...much better to go to the super walmart where a 32 oz bottle of hienz ketchup is $.187 versus $3.50 at safeway....there are more and more scams coming up to get us to buy their over priced gas such as the free car wash, free soda, free hotdays...etc...now it's buy groceries and get a discount...funny...

Cleo 2008-01-27 10:09 AM

My car takes 93 octane so I have to pay a bit more. After getting a tank of bad gas on New Year's eve I've been filling with Chevron with Techton to clean the fuel system which also seems to cost a bit more. The other night I was in South Beach where gas also seems to cost a bit more. Paid just under $4 per gallon that night but normally I pay around $3.50 per gallon at the Citgo up the street from me.

BTW Chevron with Techton really does work. My car is running great after a few tanks and my car's fuel gage is also working properly now.

That sounds like my bike. I have to give it the highest octane available and then add an octane booster for it to run right. :) On top of that it only gets about 20 miles/gallon. :)

Linkster 2008-01-27 10:41 PM

Being in central Calif right now is quite a shock - just under $4 a gal for 91 octane - cant even find 93 octane anywhere(I dont think its allowed in Calif) and my jeep really doesnt like this cheap shit. For the truck the diesel is all the new stuff that is only being sold in Cal now and really sucks

stuveltje 2008-01-28 03:38 AM

Btw in holland we also get a nice bill every 3 months because we have a car and use the roads, so we pay tax for the gasoline and we pay tax because we drive a car, now for a diesel car and a car driving on gas you pay much more extra tax a 3 months then a gasoline car ( hmmm i wonder if i say it right) if i have to translate the 3 months tax it should be named "roadtax" oh and this year we get the "slurptax" as a extra tax, thats for the cars who are bad for the enviroment because they use to much gasoline.
As far as i know most countries have the tax already counted in the price of the gasoline, we dont have that here

Bobc01 2008-01-28 06:52 PM

We pay a road tax annually, varies on the size of the engine but for a 2L like mine it's £99 for 6 months and £180 for a year.
Then add the £50 for an MOT plus insurance (Mine being £340 a year fully comp) plus maintenance, It isn't cheap to own a car.
