Hey everyone,

Just wondering what the price of fuel is in your area since it has now become a hot-topic in the news of today.
Diesel averages around £1.33 ($2.66) a litre,
Petrol averages around £1.25 ($2.50) a litre over here.

when I first started driving about 8 years ago it was right around 99 cents a gallon...

we have been spoiled I guess because everyone I know is freaking out since gas has quadroupled in a few years, like its a crisis. Guess its hard to complain when people elswhere are still paying more than double what we pay for gas.

Well, I remember, years ago (maybe 8 years or so) there "was a gas price war" in eastern Canada. At that time I remember paying something like $0.12/liter. Seems like it was almost free looking at the prices today.

I pay about $2.12NZD a litre which is about $5.9USD a gallon.

A few years back it cost about $60 to fill up my Honda Accord (2litre), now it costs $113.

Wow, it seems to vary greatly between still quite relatively cheap and really outrageous.
Fuel prices would be only be £0.50 - £0.60/liter if the government weren't adding a ridiculous amount of tax ontop of it. Oh well, it's their only source of money these days.

1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters
the euro is worth about 1.5 USD, so i think it's about even
(or worse, my math skills fall apart during summer break)
