So with the Can/US dollar being about equal we can really compare gas prices now. I just paid $1.16 a liter, which if my math is correct is $4.40/gal. That's for 87 octane. Any of you want to move to Canada? smile.gif 92 is $1.26/liter today. Kinda glad I don't have a 3SGTE smile.gif

Honestly I don't understand how anyone in europe is driving anything bigger than a 1.3L desiel lol.


Well its real simple. Its always been about 3-4 times USD fuel price = Euro fuel price. Your goverment makes money out of selling military stuff etc etc. We dont have that. So in order to keep the goverment cash flow up there are taxes on Fuel and other stuff as well. Also on the cars themselfs. A 20.000 dollar Mustang would cost more then 40.000 Euro here in Holland. 45 % added tax cost shipping etc.

A 30k dollar Evo costs 55k Euro here etc.

So to see you guys making topics like. WOW fuel is now 4 USD/gallon makes me laugh quiet a bit.

Petrol prices are the same everywhere, it's just the tax on top that varies, and why we get raped in Europe. Not because of the Military rolleyes.gif

In the UK, i paid 101.9p per litre

equivalent to around $7.70 per US gallon


You missed my point. The US military or rather the production of US Weapons/Vehicles/Airplanes etc that sell all over the world generates enough money for the US goverment that they dont have to use taxes on fuel and so on to keep the cash level high enough for its country.



Actually the US gov't curently operates in such a deficite, most countries in Africa are richer on paper. All because they refuse to tax gasoline :-)
