WTF

$3.5 for petrol.

I thought petrol was cheap in the USA

Here in South Africa we pay R 5.75 per liter,wich makes it about $1 per litre or about $4 per gallon.

Hmm let's see - I paid AUD1.43 per litre last night for 98RON petrol...

Europe
1 EUR currently buys 1.656 AUD, so that's EUR0.86 per litre.

US
With 3.785 litres to the US gallon, thats AUD5.41 per gallon.
The AUD is currently at 77.663 US cents, so thats USD4.20 per gallon.

Any of you yanks wanna mail me a few litres?

That's still cheap compared to the prices over here.

I googled and found a page with the gas prices in Finland and yesterday's average price was 1.35â‚¬ per litre.
And 1.38â‚¬ per litre for the "98" gas which our Saab uses for example.
Average diesel price yesterday: 1.05â‚¬ per litre.

The gas prices around me are $2.86... Good thing i have a car that gets 25 miles to the gallon...

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 12 May 2006, 02:58

We only have up to like 93 Octane here in the states where I live, that may be why it's a little less expensive than in Eur.

You might want to get rid of that piece of crap, 25mpg sucks, my sisters car gets 45mpg.

BKize_GT · Post by **BKize_GT** » 12 May 2006, 03:43

Eh? Are all the cars over there like 5 years old or newer?
I dunno how will the older cars run with such low octane fuel.
We have 95 for smaller old cars and new cars and 98 for old crap cars like our Saab.
There are probably some other differences between our gas and yours.
Haven't really studied the fuels so i dunno shiznit really

Its $1.7NZD per litre over here. I top up $20 (11.7L) regularly becuase my little POS is uberquiet on fuel. Thank god for that

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 12 May 2006, 13:06

Yeah, NZD1.70 is AUD1.37 at the moment, so it's roughly equal I guess.

€1.107 for 1 litre of Super 98.

In your first link the prices must be the lowest prices from the countries because it seems to be accurate in that case on Finland.
And what's with the second link? March 2000?

Post by **TheStig** » 12 May 2006, 19:26

As usual Belgium and the Netherlands are the highers. at 1.40 euro a littre!

Next weekend I am in Belgium (adrennes) and I know where I will be filling up the car... luxemburg!

Oops, didn't see that. But you can get an idea ...

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 13 May 2006, 12:37

Then fuel is here cheap! Around 1.10 Euro!
But still to much for us!

Post by **Pabl0z** » 13 May 2006, 16:16

Well you're a poorer country. Simple as that.

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 13 May 2006, 17:42

We're hovering at around $1.08 (CAD) per litre around here, which I suppose doesn't seem so bad until I realize it's equal to $3.90 (US) per gallon. I hope it's just extra taxes causing that.
