Hi,
I just wanted to know how much gas/petrol (fuel for vehicle) costs in all countries. My vehicle uses petrol and costs me around 43 Rupees (approx 1 USD) per litre. The price varies from citi to city. In cities like Bangalore and Bombay, it costs much higher.
What abt others!! :rolleyes:
It's about $1 in Romania, now that the dollar has risen comparing to Euro (it used to ve $1.1-1.2 lately).
But that's not a good metric. A better metric would be how much hours/minutes do you have to work to buy one liter. Or how much liters one can buy with country's average salary.
Over R 6
in South Africa
Today in Quebec, Canada, the cost of ordinary leadless gas is at a record high
0.81$us / liter
(according to XE.COM conversion)
it used to be 0.46$us / liter 10-15 years ago.
:rolleyes: :thumbd: :thumbd: :thumbd: :thumbd: :eek:
If you consider a salary of about 15$ / hour, this means it costs 4 minutes of work per liter.
In my part of the US it's about $0.60/liter right now, and even being only 24 years old, I can remember a time when it was less than half that. I don't worry about it though, since I try to avoid driving whenever possible. ;)
Here's a page that talks about some of the factors that tie into gas prices, if anyone's interested. The discussion primarily concerns the US, but says that prices are much higher in Europe because a much higher percentage of the total cost goes to taxes. I don't know how accurate or recent these figures are, but one example is gives is that 31% of the cost per unit of gasoline in the US goes to taxes, whereas that figure is 78% in England.
True, lots of money goes to taxes, but oil control by OPEC makes the prices rise and keep our wallets hostages... It's all about a quasi-monopoly.
Gas companies decide on a price and stick to it... for a while. When vacations come... they raise it... for more profit... not because of shortage.
So unless selling gas becomes really less profitable should we see a real competitive market.
:sick:
Two years ago, it was only 65 cents per liter, now it is about 95-1,06$ per liter, and became higher every day
Right now, its (US)$2.00+ per gallon.
Wow !! 2.00 / gallon ?? ?Wherez that ?Quote:

You can find stats from around the country at gaspricewatch.com. The lowest entry in their latest numbers is $1.94/gal in Casper, WY and the highest is $2.79/gal in San Francisco, CA.Quote:

// We have gas attendants here, so I hope that explains the full-service and self-service.
With an average salary in Australia you can buy around about 2,500 litres of fuel in a month.
Fuel costs around $0.60 (US Dollars) per litre and that's considered high at the moment. Normally it would be under $0.50. They attribute the high prices to the war and whatever else excuse they can come up with.
It really is frustrating at times, huh? Here I thought its only in Philippines or here in Saipan that gas prices are going up. But now I see its happening all over the world! :eek:
// Hmmm. Maybe I should read more news. :D
Well, news generally blame it on rising demands from countries like China which could be driving this.. But, well,this shortage and rising prices has to happen one day !! I am just thinking why it's taking all these giant businesses so long to come up with an alternative to gas.. I bet it is their way of sucking out people to their last pennies..
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:

Only 0.60$ Astralia is really greate, how to imigrate there :rolleyes: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:

Didn't you say you signed a lease to move to Sydney? :ehh: :confused:
sorry - that was a joke, based on what sounded like the incredibly low petrol prices up there. I might just go back to sleep. It's one of those days - Crystal Reports won't connect to Oracle, I don't know what to have for lunch, people aren't getting my jokes. :sick:Quote:

In south Korea, it's approximately $1.7(US dollar) per litter.
Because Korea has no oil field, international oil price instantly affect domestic oil price .
Wow. So far you're competing with Norway for the highest gas price...Quote:

and so people are using their own cars massively resulted in too much heavy traffics everytime,everyday,everywhere especialy in Tehran(the capital city of Iran)
personaly being stuck in traffic at least four hours a day is somethong to get used to ! and its because of those low prices.
(Tehran's traffic 1, Tehran's traffic 2, Tehran's traffic 3) .
maybe increase the tax on vehicles... so no one would afford to buy a car, and no traffic jams.. hehe sadly thats whats happening here.. 300% on car tax...!!!!
I pay $2.22 a gallon (regular) here. You'd think it would be cheaper in TX where all the oil is?! LOL
Guess thats where the Honda insight and all those dual powered cars are going to come in handy.
ahoodin
Well, the theory may be true.. Here in Kuwait, the oil rich country, the prices have not even fluctuated for a decade maybe... oops i don't really know the price.. but 'ts pretty cheap hereQuote:

Two days ago, Emilly (or was it Gennie?) destroyed a BP's oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico, so there is fear that the prices will rise again... :sick:Quote:

I'm amazed that not 1 person from England has posted yet.....we get robbed everytime we fill up our cars!
Its about 95p a litre (about $1.75) , but varies all over the place. NEVER fill up at a motorway services station, some of them are over £1.10!!
The thing that drives me mad is it's about 70-80% TAX!!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Drives me mad!
You guys have a fantastic transit system though... don't you? Public transportation systems are so much better in England and Europe....Quote:

Maybe you should start a poll taking a vote on what the new fuel should be. Electricity, used cooking oil, nuclear power, toothpaste backwash... :D
