No. Actually, in Europe, diesel has (and still is) allways been cheaper than gasoline.
it depfend where you live because the tax constructions are not the same everywhere... in germany the gas and diesel are about equal.
Everyone's missing one key point. Taxes. On average, Europeans are paying nearly 2/3's of the listed pump price in taxes, in Canada it's about 1/2. The US the gas tax amounts to less than 1/4 of the pump price. Here in the US, in most cases, diesel has a slightly higher tax at the pump. Where in most Euro juristictions, diesel has a lower tax rate. I know when I was stationed in Italy 20 years .... :shock: :shock:.....ago, diesel was 1/3 cheaper at the pump mainly due to the tax rate (they made up for it in the yearly wheel-tax at registration time, STILL cheaper kicking Porsche booty with my '84 Golf GTD than with my '83 BMW 323is :lol: :twisted: )

Yes but "745 turbogreasel" is from the US. Canada is near on par with Europe which is sad because we house a large majority of the oil fields in North America.
I hear your pain, but look at he Norwegians,
FIFTH largest oil producer, yet they pay over
$8 per gallon (@euro 1.61/liter)!!
They got loads of money to pay for it.
Unlike here... :?
