    I'm not sure how much petrol costs at our local petrol station, but the UK average is:

    96.13 pence per litre for petrol
    98.81 pence per litre for diesel

    Which converts to:

    $6.64 a gallon (US) for petrol
    $6.83 a gallon (US) for diesel

    12,24 sek/liter for regular (95 octane)
    11,34 sek/liter for diesel
    12,54 sek/liter for what I'm guessing is premenum (98 octane)

    That's 6,25$/gallon for regular
    5,79$/gallon for diesel
    and 6,40$/gallon for premenum.

    It's about the same here in Huddersfield.

    I really don't know why you Yanks are moaning about you're "ludicrously high" petrol (not gas, gas is different) prices. You have it half of the price of the rest of the world, so shut your trap holes and get used to it.

    Southern California:

    Regular: $3.55 (84 octane)
    Premium: $3.79 (92 octane)
    Diesel: $3.10

    (local distributors say we pay extra for Cali's "cleaner" fuels). Cost has been increasing 5-10% per week. Many predict $6 per gallon by June.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    When is the U.S going to use Ethanol? The Brizillians seem to be having great success with it.

    Brazillians had success with it becuase they have a smaller country and a warmer climate. It would require huge amounts of land being devoted to growing plants/trees to get the sugar from. We really can't use pure ethanol in most of the US becuase it gets so cold, below 35F ethanol wont ignite, in some parts of the Northern US ethanol would gelly in the winter. We can eventually get to using E85 though, but it will take some time and gas stations to actually start caring it. Remember it took the Brazillians nearly 30 years to get where they are now, and they have far far fewer cars.

    The US is trying to use ethanol right now. Only problem is, the US isn't as good as Brazil making it, and there's a large import tariff because the Gov't is pandering to the Iowa ethanol growers.

    I really don't know why you Yanks are moaning about you're "ludicrously high" petrol (not gas, gas is different) prices. You have it half of the price of the rest of the world, so shut your trap holes and get used to it.
    And how much of that increased cost is due to loads of taxes? Just cause you guys rolled over for high taxes doesn't mean we can't complain since we haven't yet let our public servants become our public masters.

    Very true. I'm still lost as to why they want to use wood chips or corn to make ethanol. Sugar cane/sugar beats are by far more effective at producing ethanol. But still the point of using ethanol is to become energy selfsufficient so why would we want to trade one import for another?

    About $3.25 per gallon here in La Mesa today.

    I figure for an SUV owner, it's equivilent to $6.50, since I get twice the fuel mileage in my small Mazda pickup and Toyota Corolla.

    My wife pretty much has to drive to work, due to San Diego's awful mass transit system. I can take the train, however. I love it!

    3.03 USD regular
    3.10 USD the next thing above regular
    3.20 USD premium I THINK.
