One can't help but think that way, especially... I have heard of other alternative fuels for vehicles. Once, there was a rumor that big Oil Companies put their foot to block the proposal to implement this alternative because... ofcourse, they wouldnt profit from it.Quote:

in Poland its ~$1.20 per liter of leadless gas, where most of the price are taxes (like 40%, or maybe more).
dont go to germany guys ;)
in my country you pay about 1,60$ per liter, and its getting higher and higher every month. If you go to the petrol sation and fill up your car you have to work 3 or 4 days just for that.
(thats why we love cars with low consumption ;) )
The technology to replace gas fueled cars is here, but there is no interest in implementing it. Do you imagine how many trilions would be lost in the oil business? :eek: Until there will be no drop of oil we won't see alternatice fuels.Quote:

Aaah.. Finally a competition Norway can win hands down. We're at $1.72 (US) per liter now. (95 octane non-leaded) And that is with gas-stations almost selling at a loss.
Are you serious?! And I thought Norway has plenty of oil reserves and sea oil platforms for extraction.Quote:

The Tax is about 75 cents (I think) per litre of fuel. :sick:
We do. There's enough oil and gas in the north sea to keep us going another 40 years or so. The problem is that most of the money we make off of that is going into the aptly named petroleum fund, never to be spent. (It's at about 165 billion US dollars as of Q105) I think the idea is to eventually run the country off the intrests or something. Consequently we don't really get any immediate benefits off our oil industry (Not as much as we could anyway, just look at other "oil nations" like Qatar), something the gas prices reflect.Quote:

really? down in Melbourne @ the moment we are paying anywhere from $1.03-$1.14 (AUD), which equates to about $0.78-$0.86 USD. assuming our dollar is worth 0.76 at the moment that is (which was the last value I heard)Quote:
