Uk suppliers actually increased thier prices just before the new budget so they sting us any which way we turn.

Yay!

For others is -

£ 0.90 (No fair, thats dirt cheap) In the UK we would be paying equiv to 2.18~ AUD
€ 1.03
US$ 1.47


That is dirt cheap. We paid $1.47 USD YEARS ago. Right now it's about $4 USD. Still a lot cheaper than you guys though.


It's actually more expensive; they're talking per Liter, not gallon. 3.785 L per gal, so that would be $5.53/gal.

U.S. gas prices are online: http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx (U.S. dollars per gallon)
Canada too: http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_can_gastemperaturemap.aspx (Canadian cents per liter)

U.S. / Canada prices in U.S. dollars per gallon over time, vs. crude: http://www.GasBuddy.com/gb_retail_price_chart.aspx?city1=USA Average&city2=Canada Average&city3=&crude=y&tme=60&units=us

But when I had my SUV or my pickup I easily spent $100+  on gass every month. Gas prices go up every month it seems like. I thought we were done with high prices. *sigh*


hahaha you americans haha

i spend almost $100 just to fill my bike every month, add to that two cars that we have 1.8 petrol and 1.8turbodiesel so its not like there's lots of power in them and petrol one does about 35mpg and diesel can go around 45mpg
when we put it all together it costs us around $500 per month for fuel only
and average monthly pay in croatia is about $700, luckily we are above average but not by much

Bikes are obviously the best way to get around in this oil price increasing climate.  Family and marriage is all bullshit anyway.

i love how it says that it is $0.12 US /gallon  for gas in Venezuela
might be profitable to buy a tanker and start selling it in the US

Price in belgium is 1.6€ per liter
Which would be 2.1 dollar per liter, which is 8 dollar per US Gallon.

We pay less in the states for several reasons, the most important being that our currency the dollar is the worlds reserve currency (meaning its accepted as payment worldwide for trading). Once the rest of the world moves away from the dollar being the worlds reserve currency, which is already happening as china, the middle east and europe are dumping dollars as fast as they can. If the dollar is devalued and loses its status as the worlds reserve currency, we here in the states will see a gallon of gas shoot to 10 dollars or more. Our entire economy is based on the strength of the dollar and this status. Its the reason we have enjoyed such unchecked economic prosperity. Once the rest of the world decides the dollar isn't worth owning, we are fucked. Only reason it hasn't happened already is because we are basically too important to fail, the rest of the world's economies are tied right into our success. We go down, they go down right with us. Meaning europe and asia and the middle east would all feel the effects of it, not just us here in the states. We will be moving back to a gold or silver based economy though, its only a matter of time.
