    Where I live, it's currently 92.5 cents/L, which works out to about $3.51/US gallon.

    cost's me about $30 canadian to fill my tank. and I can usually drive almost two weeks on it.

    It varies around here... depends if there's a holiday coming or a long weekend and ****, then the prices ALWAYS go up... + we pay 78 Eurocents tax on each litre petrol. Curently the price in Cologne is at 1.23 - 1.25 Euro for 1 litre petrol. Too much if you ask me... But my government can't do math worth **** anyway.

    Cheers

    In Munich we have prices of about €1.24 per litre of super unleaded fuel, which is a hell of a lot of money. It costs about €99.20 to fill up our Mercedes and €109.12 for our BMW (if they are totally empty) :eeek: Stupid taxes! :wallbash:

    Why doesn't anyone tap it? I'd much rather see Canada / N. America get all that money than the Mid-East.

    about $1 canadian a litre for regular. $1.05 or so for premium (which is all the car takes)

    stupid car has to weigh so much. crap fuel economy.

    The cars have fuel tank capacities of 80l and 88l respectively. Still doesn't change the fact that 67% of the gas price in Germany is tax, which is quite a lot.

    technically you are correct as petrol isnt flammable as a liquid, its the fumes of petrol that are highly flammable, diesel (not the fumes) however is flammable as a liquid but as someone said is harder to get flames from :)

    Varies a bit, but usually around $1.67 per litre. I guess that is roughly $6.68 per gallon...

    The Alberta tar sands in northern Canada is the biggest known fuel reserve in the world. Yet as of this writing we are paying $1.02 CND/litre ($3.16 US/gallon)

    But even at $4.00/litre it's still a deal, as we would be screwed without it. People should stop complaining and ge tinto alternative fuels.
