Goddamn petrol prices

[themoose]

What's wrong with this government? Seriously. Prices are the highest I've seen them at ~115.9p/litre in these parts, and what do the Gov go and do? Stick another 2p tax on it. It's already 60-70% tax as it is. Jesus. A year ago - when I started driving - it was 85p a litre. It went up to £1 and papers went nuts, it went down again - but the next time it went up the papers were conveniently distracted by that expenses scandal.

Gheez.. $0.19/gallon. That would be so nice.

BTW Peo, is petrol more or less expensive than diesel in Sweden?

Here's it's usually been quite a bit more but is now leveling out again... but whenever I go to Europe it's significantly less.. what's up with that?

[Peo]

Petrol is more expensive than diesel here.

 

[Richard]

119.9p down here

 

[Darknight]

1.30 AUD /litre here.
used to be 1.70 when it was at highest, for a while it looked like it would hit 2$ then the economy crashed....

I know what you mean though, when it was 1.70 here it was just to much, so costly...
1.30 is ok though, I dont mind that.

Wow. Cheap.

Costs me £90 ($145) to fill my 1.5 car.

 

[anhedonia]

My car only costs about $40-50 to fill up, and it's very fuel efficient so that lasts me ages.
