In 1998 I lived in Korea. We paid won per liter. I think that i figeed out to about $5.00 per gal.
Here in Sweden we are at 13.8 Swedish Kronor per liter, up around 10% in the last month. This works out to around 2.31 per liter, or at 3.79 liters per gallon, around 8.76 a gallon. Keep in mind that the dollar has tanked the last 6 months and lost around 40% of it’s value. I expect gas to go up to around 20 Swedish by years end. As an aside, around 70% of the cost is tax....
In Germany it is €1.50 a liter.
That is around $7.25 a gallon for regular.
Diesel is about 0.25 cents cheaper because it is taxed more lightly due to the fact that it is more efficient.
We pay 60 Fils a Liter but with the weakening Dollar it now is $.86 per Gallon.
Who cares what the rest of the world pays. Most of it is taxes, as in Europe. Let free markets determine what the price should be and allow drilling in ANWR.
We have been spoiled for decades with our gasoline and diesel prices. The rest of the developed world has always had much higher prices than we’ve had. The difference being the taxes applied, since the world commodity price for refined products is the same.
The difference in state taxes accounts for most of the differences between states here in the USA. Diesel is higher here than gasoline because it’s more heavily taxed, and since 2006 has had to meet the 15 ppm sulfur standard up from 500 ppm. Europe favors diesel in taxation because it’s more efficient, so it’s subsidized.
Don’t sell yor SUV now. You won’t get anything for it and at $4.00/gal. at a difference of 10 mpg, it’ll take you years to recoup the loss on the vehicle net.
In Guatemala 2002, gas came out to around $3.65 a gallon.
