How much is gasoline/petrol costing you at the pump? 2

[Roadbridge]

I was just wondering how much are your paying per litre for petrol?
What are the different prices from country to country taking government tax's?
Irelands €1.12/litre but its expected to go to €1.30 this Monday.
What's yours.

$3.19 in the midwest of the USA. Don't know the conversion to pounds to compare.

 

[ajack1]

Filled up on the way home £0.93 / litre or 1.36 Euro, 1.71 USD. It seems to be going up daily.

 

[ajack1]

JAE that is £1.73 a gallon or £0.38 /litre.

About $3 a gallon here in SW USA. I suppose a high taxation of gasoline has a long-range benefit of discouraging wastage of gasoline (such as Ford F350 with the V-12 gasoline engine), but it is a regressive tax in most cases.
I do enjoy riding my bike to work - 34 miles roundtrip. I probably spend just as much in extra food and bicycle-related equipment, but it gives me such good exercise.

The price is around $5 per gall. in GA, USA

 

[JAE]

Thanks ajack1 - my price sounds real cheap compared to Georgia USA but much higher than in Ireland.

$2.89/gal Friendswood Texas USA (near Houston), but most of the Houston area is running about $3.10. Atlanta will come down in the next few days as the piplines come on and the refineries come back online.

Rs47.30 /litre in Bangalore. Is expected to raise by Rs3 from Monday.

 

[ajack1]

JAE I think you will find you are paying much less than in Ireland, unless you are paying $3.19/ litre, 80% of the price of fuel in the UK is tax. The prices look a bit misleading as some are quoting litres, some gallons and then euros, pounds and dollars.

1 UK gallon = 4.55 litres, I believe an American gallon is about 4 litres, but I am not sure.

Todays prices are; -

£1 = $1.84
£1 = 1.46 euro
1 euro = $1.25

 

[ScottyUK]

Teesside, north-east England (but the south to a native of newcastle!): forecourt prices currently between £0.92/litre and £0.96/litre.

I am consciously driving with a lighter right foot these days. I've gotten from about 33mpg to about 40mpg according to the display in the car, and that's supported by the better mileage per tank I'm getting. I can't afford to drive like a young'un these days!!

arunmrao,

We Delhi people have luxary to buy petrol at INR 40.80 per litre. In poorer states, cost is still higher. Perhaps the logic is to deter the poor from wasting their money on something like petrol.

Ciao.

 

[Structr]

Gasoline jumped from $2.98/gal to $3.19 yesterday. Maybe it is time to buy a motorcycle.

 

[QCE]

Structr: Maybe that is why there are so many motorcycles in europe?
So we have approx:

Ireland:approx $6.50/gal
UK:approx $6.84/gal
Canada:approx $3.90/gal
USA:approx $3/gal
India: approx $4/gal
Sweden: $7.10/gal
Germany: $6.92/gal
Switzerland and Spain: $5.08/gal
Denmark: $7.40/gal

I have converted to American dollars per American gallon.

Flamby and Arunmrao,

It is Rs. 47.30/liter(0.85euro) in Hyderabad if it is Speed. The normal one is about 44.5/liter (0.80Euro). With the hike, it will be Rs.50/-. The actual price, with all the traffic jams and worst traffic practices, my calculation shows it about Rs 55/already(1 euro/liter). I think Delhi and Bangalore are a bit better in this regard.

 

[arunmrao]

quark,
Iremember for my first car for RS 100 I could fill 14 litres of petrol and today for the same amount I get 2.18 litres!!

 

[corus]

The price per gallon is really irrelevant if you take your fuel consumption into account and also the tax that is added to the petrol (gas). In the UK we pay a high pecentage of tax in the price per gallon but we don't generally pay a toll for travelling on roads (with the exception of one new motorway in the midlands). In France, however, they pay a toll for travelling on motorways. This adds to the price per mile travelled. Simailarly cars with a high mpg will pay less per mile travelled. You just can't go on the headline figure.

In Autralia it is about $A1.25 per litre, which is about $4 per US gallon.

That is true corus, but we also pay road tax in England £165 pa, do other countries have the same and if so how much?

 

[arunmrao]

We in India pay a life time road tax at the time of purchase of a new car. This is transferable within the same state,but if you move to another state,a fresh life time tax will have to be paid.
