It has been awhile so I thought we might post our gas prices from all over to get a perspective on what's happening out there.

Gas at our cheapest station is:

Regular $3.63
Medium $3.73
Premium $ 3.93

It is much higher at stations along the Interstate and more than $4.30 for premium in Atlanta, just a half hour away.:eek:
 
About £1.40 a LITRE for diesel here. That's about £5.60 a US Gallon. I'll leave you to work out the exchange rates.

Getting close to 1.70€/l hereabouts, i.e. something like $8.50 per gallon, for both Super (medium) and Super E10 (10% methanol medium) - regular has been phased out after it wasn't cheaper any more.

Actually, Frances's little Seat is just about identical with the BMW, at around 43-47 mpg imperial. The bike is a little worse if you thrash it hard (38-39 mpg imperial), and a little better if you take it really easy (50+ mpg imperial).

Cheers,

I reckon that a motorcycle is about the best transportation one can get all things considered.:angel: And you get to lean in the curves whilst getting to and fro.:D

My bicycle is a bit limited compared to a two-wheeled, single-track, articulated joint vehicle with a motor and seating for two or more!
 
diesel €1.55/l
super €1.77/l

The only thing I'm happy about changing jobs is that now I do 24km/day instead of 115km/day.
 
Here in Norway 95 octane petrol costs € 2,00/liter (NOK 15,40/liter or 9,95 $ per gallon!). In Finland, which I just have visited, the price varied between € 1,66 - 1,69.

My experience is that 'the lower petrol price in a country, the larger governmental debt this country has'. Go figure.
 
The lower price of petrol, the more people complain about high fuel prices ;)
 
I don't drive much at all anymore. Last time I filled up the Mini I paid $3.79 a gallon. For all the complaining Americans do about gasoline prices we get off VERY cheap compared to much of the world.

Yes, we do. But that said, we drive more than anyone else. In the Atlanta area alone, we travel 90 million miles per DAY...the distance to the sun. The average (by the gov't.) is 15,000/year for each driver. It is a lot more than that in the metropolitan ATL area.:eek:

And doubling our gas mileage is not going to help either. When is the last time our teenagers couldn't see "free" miles to be travelled and then never grew up?:p

I personally, have no problem with gas prices going up but the vast majority of Americans living on fixed incomes, etc. are going to be hurt.

Now back to the OT.

I fear Belgium doesn't follow your experience. And not in a good way...
 
Well, ours went up another step-up to $3.98-$4.29 for premium in the area south of Atlanta but it is much higher in town. Odd that premium is almost always exactly $.30 more per gallon than regular...:confused:

Not quite true. Gasoline here in Japan is about $8 per gallon, but Japan's national debt vs GDP is the highest in the industrialized world, being roughly 250%.

America's national debt is lower than nearly every country in Europe, yet the cost of gasoline in America is lower than in any country in Europe. High gas prices do not mean low national debt.

One of the reasons gas has become more expensive is because oil imports to Japan have surged following the earthquake last year. Since then, Japan has not been running it's nuclear power plants since then, so the fossil-fuel plants have been working overtime.
