Whats the price of petrol (gasoline) per litre where you live?

[Diggis]

OK, I've just been reading through here and think a few things need to be looked at:

US petrol/gas is measured in US$/Gallon

1 gallon is 3.7 litres.  Most other countries measure in currency/litre.

So far it seems the UK are being stuffed here.  With the highest currency they are still paying more than the others per litre.

Looking back onto the last few pages, and using a currency converter I have the following: $US/L

MG (UK): $2.69/L
SA (AUS): $1.50/L
Burg (USA): $1.13/L
Tarkus (USA) $1.16/L
Andreas (GER): $2.46/L
Vario (GER): $2.38/L
Une Ame (FRA): $2.40/L
Une Ame (USA): $1.05/L
Blade (USA): $1.05/L
Bwatterud (USA): $1.08/L
Cogeo (GRE): $1.89/L
Vistila (USA): $0.98/L
jjune (USA): $1.07/L
Vab (USA): $1.13/L
IAGTEU (USA): $1.05/L
KRBE: (DEN): $2.42/L (Assumed /L)
rodrigogua (MEX) $0.70/L (Assumed /L)
Qtips (NOR): $2.79/L
Palpatine (NZ): $1.5/L
Filasimo (USA): $0.99/L
Dedgren (USA): $1.08/L
Etherian (AUS): 1.59/L
UN1 (CAN): $1.29/L
Wes Janson (CAN): $1.29/L
TopCliff (USA): $1.18/L
Jonoboo (UK): $2.27/L

As you can see, there is quite a variance in price.  These are worked out using todays exchange rate and a conversion of 3.785L to the gallon.


And I found this post:

where i live, here in florida, it is between $3.95/gallon and up to $4.05/gallon. i can't do the exchange, but with my 30 gallon bronco, i'm sure it is worse than yours. for any of you europeans, or australians, or asian, or others that i have not seen, what is the largest tank that you know of? cause i've heard people say, "oh, it's almost $9/gallon in England, so we should be happy." but i also heard that some of the cars dont hold many gallons of gas. so what is it?

I'm sorry, but what has the size of the tank got to do with it?  Why should everyone else pay more for petrol so you can drive a gass guzzler?

So we Europeans, apart from cogeo in Greece, pay the highest prices for our fuel
I agree with Diggis about the gas guzzling cars that seem to proflierate in the US. If you had had to pay more previously maybe you would, by now, have started using smaller, more economic vehicles and wouldn't be complaining so much now. Our fuel price has doubled in the 6 years we have been here in France but we bought economic cars at the start and while the cost of filling up my small Renault 5 has doubled I still get the same km/l as I did when I bought it.

$2.37/l (Dkr. 11.19) is what I paid ½ an hour ago for our lowest grade gas ("92 octane") at a "Discount" gas station. Nvm, I read yesterday that we Danes are the happiest nation on Earth (so why do whiners and bigots dominate our media?). Don't worry, be happy 

PS: You wouldn't believe the number of huge SUVs and 4WDs in Denmark.
PPS: Eco-terrorism.

No one has a right to a permanent supply of cheap fuel.

Which you appear to still have in the states.

While I was driving on a Nothern Virginia (USA) road last Sunday (in Falls Church), I found a gaz station with a price of $3.99/gallon (0.67€/litre for Regular) !!! My tank was close to empty so I stop and get into the line and, after waiting for 5 minutes, was able to fill my tank.

Today, in France, in Vitry, close to Paris, the price is 1.48 €/litre for the "cheap" SP95.

BTW, Barby, what kind of Renault 5 do you have ?? I loooove those car!!

[BarbyW]

My Renault 5 is a 1992 white SuperCinq. It is getting rusty in places and the heating doesn't always heat the car but it gets me around and that is all that matters. It also gives me a good km to the l so I have no plans to change it until it falls apart.

Diggis: woah man, calm yourself down! just a simple question on how much gas cars manufactured in Europe compare to those "gas-guzzlers" in the US. and i shouldn't have said that it was worse than yours. maybe it is, maybe it isn't. and what does you paying more have to do with me driving one? the US doesn't have a tax on gas like other countries. i'm sorry that my dad bought the bronco in '94 to help with his construction company, and happened to pass it on to me...sheesh...

BarbyW: like marcszar said, we had the chance, but we didn't take the opportunity. its kinda sad that the companies didn't rethink cars earlier, but now we're "paying the price"...if you know what i'm saying

It sounded to me like you were saying we should be grateful for having cars that don't use as much petrol and therefore should pay more for it.  Sorry, but thats just silly.  But maybe it was just the way you wrote it.

[jjune4991]

Diggis! oh no no no no no no no no! i never meant that in any way! and you are right, b/c as i read it over and over again, it seems really wrong, and that i need to read my posts before i click post. 

[Diggis]

Forgiven then.

Hello folks

Here in my area (Sagenay) the gas is now $1.36 CDN dollars. Down in Montreal and Quebec City I believe is now $1.42 CDN. Man, I wonder how much more we will have to spend to fill the pockets of those big petroleum go ruses.

[jjune4991]

i think it's pretty rediculous that stocks are going down, while gas companies pockets are overflowing...

[alan_vzla]

Everyone: die of envy
0.95 Bolivares per litre ($0.44 per litre)

I think it's the only benefit of living here in Venezuela... , we own a full size SUV and each full tank of gas costs the amazing price of $3

[porter66083]

Erm.... jjune4991.... the US does have a federal tax imposed on gasoline... we've had it for decades.... how else do you think highways and road projects are paid for? Don't you remember McCain's call for a federal tax holiday on gas back when it was soaring around $4.79/gal?

As for me, living here in the midwest I paid $3.69/gal (which I think converts out to $.97/L). Got to love Missouri....

[Haljackey]

Here in Southern Ontario gas prices are hovering around $1.35 Canadian a litre.

So, thats roughly $5 US a gallon. Diesel is even more.

[jjune4991]

uh...porter, sorry, but i didn't know. and no i didn't hear that, b/c i dont watch politics. i'm not voting, so i dont know all the issues. and alan, you are soooo lucky! gas did drop here a little since i last came by. it is now around $3.80/gallon (i am only gonna guess around $1.00/liter...just a guess)

Hi all.

I live in a Chiba city (side by Tokyo) Japan.
Gas price is about 175 - 180 yen in my city. ($1.59 - $1.63 per litre /USA$ : 1$=110.17yen)
I think that it is sold more highly in the suburban town.

With a rise in price of the gasoline, various changes are happening in a Japan too.

[nerdly_dood]

Here in southwest Virginia gasoline is actually under $4 a gallon! It varies from $3.57⁹ per gallon on the regular kind on Interstate 81 to about $3.70 in and around Roanoke. (That tiny number 9 means that the gas station charges an extra nine cents for ten gallons of gas - just another way to squeeze you dry.  Every single gas station I've ever seen anywhere does just this.)

er diggis.... 1 Imperial gallon = 4.54609188 litres

Correct, but like everything else, the US changed it to something different.
