Topic: 10.11 dollars a gallon

[GeoffT]

 

Just thought I'd let you know (if you didn't already) that petrol is officially over 10 dollars a gallon.

Just filled up my car and it was 112.8 pence a litre. If I did my sums right that is about 10.11 dollars gallon.

Didn't work out the diesel cost but I noticed at the pump that it is 119.3 pence per litre.

How much of the cost is in the form of taxes?

[gregk]

I assume thats a 160 oz gallon?

[mcpuffett]

petrol & diesel are both over a £1 a litre here in the uk 

[upperlake04]

Yikes   gas is $1.07Cdn/litre here, which is .52GBP.  The June07 table shows Norway as the most expensive on the planet at that time. Note Venezuela at around 4 cents Cdn/USD per litre, about 2 pence/L, if my math is correct.

Over 70% I believe - could be 160 ounce, its a uk gallon I think.

It would be nice if they put the TAX% info on the pumps, right?   Then think about how everything in the supermarket, the mall, the car dealership, Home Depot, and every other store is trucked in, and think again about effective tax rates.

[Tim.]

They actually do put tax info on the pumps in Canada, at least in some places.  They want you to know it's the Government who's taking all your money, not the uber-rich oil executives and OPEC.

But even in Canada the Uber-richare getting more than a fair amount. Non?

Hey Dave, did anyone notice no mention of Cuba on your list.

How come it's so cheap in Saudi Arabia and Venezuela?

[edbikerii]

Turns out that the nationwide average is only $0.47 per gallon on gasoline, and that has actually DECREASED since 2002.  I guess the high prices ARE just the uber-rich oil executives and OPEC gouging us, not the US Government.

Geoff, it's your own daft fault for living on a tiny island near the North Fcuking Pole.

Do you realise how much it cost Tesco to ship fuel that far  you have got a Tesco there havn't you

Spend £50 in the store and get 5p off every litre.....Oh, I forgot you are a Scotty and wouldn't part with that much in one go
apart from at David Silvers

Hope you're well Geoff, not seen much of you of late.

Sam.

I dunno Sam   It would take a special eye to note that.
  Just checked  and see that reg. petrol in Havana is $3.03 US gallon which would be about the same as the USA.

[Sam Green Racing]

Yes but what's the average weeky take home pay

Suppose your right Sam. I chose to live here. I'm not really complaining about the price of Petrol except the last hike was a steep one.
Of course we don't have Tesco here. nor any supermarket petrol. Don't mind that either cos we've got a few good old fashioned garages here. Some even still have pump attendants! 

[Sam Green Racing]

Nothing wrong with pump attendants as long as they are female, good looking and fit

I dig your little band
