Count yourselves lucky. £1.05-£1.10 per litre in the UK!

just as a visual aid to help people:

1 US gallon  = 3.7854118 litre
                     £1.05-£1.10 per litre

1.05 GBP = 2.08279 USD as of today.

3.7854118 x 2.08279

So... if you think our fuel prices are high, people in the UK pay around
$7.88 per gallon of fuel.

Yes, but they do have nice, well posted roads to drive on and it does not cost $12000 to buy health insurance for your family.

I probably should'ent  have said that!

Don't worry it looks like we'll end up paying for our health care soon AND getting screwed worse than you on fuel. ;)

1.13 here at pumps.  I recently sourced a deal with a trucker for 90 cents per liter.  Gas is 1.04.

I would still drive the diesel at 1.50

On the interstate it's $3.11, in town it's $3.35.  
You know, those folks in countries with the highly taxed fuel (and universal healthcare and transit systems) will just never know the thrill we get from never knowing if the highway bridge we are driving over (or under) is going to stay up or not.  Driving is more exciting here. ;)

$3.50 to $3.70 down in Southern maine.

Just had a 100 gals. of #2 home heating oil dropped off ( ran out sometime last night, BRRRRRR.) at the house.  $3.05 a gal.  

Thats a big difference with road tax added in.

weel,in portugal the diesel costs 1.20€/L.
the usual wage is 500€ so you can see how good you are... :roll:

a MKII GTD in good shape costs +- 2000/2500€...
a MKII gti goes for 4000/5000€ and the gas is at 1.50€/L...


now are you still feeling bad? :lol:

What is going on!?I remeber being in high school.I drove diesels all through high school (my first two cars MK2 vws)I thought i had the world by the balls.When gas prices would go up(to$1.99)diesel would always remain the same low price.I dont know i just remeber that feeling of ,getting away with murder.Now it seems like big brother has caught on.I graduated in1999,and havent drove a diesel since.but still octane prices are driving my build. :shock:
