PRICE OF FUEL IN EUROPE NOW?

If you mean the price you pay at the gas station to fill up.
In my part of the UK today the average price for ordinary unleaded is 95p a litre.
Thats $1.70 a litre, which is $6.44 for a US gallon.
More than 80% of the price I pay for fuel is tax.

George -
Thanks for asking.

You don't want to know.

But... assuming you DO want to know, I get mine dirt cheap compared to the poor Brits. 98 octane (which isn't really 98, it's 98 RON, which is probably 93 American octane or so) is about 1.20 euros/liter in Spain.

With the current exchange rate, that's roughly $1.50 a liter. 4.4 liters in a gallon make it $6.60/gallon.

Either my math is wrong or Rapier's math is wrong, but it's a lot of money in either case!

In July I've got another 4500 kilometer road trip planned for the International DeTomaso meeting. Buy stock in oil companies now!!!!

It's a modest $3.30/gal here in the Washington DC area

Charlie,
A US gallon is 3.79 liters, an Imperial Gallon is 4.54 litres. So you are paying $5.69 per US gallon ($6.81 for a imperial gallon).

For 98 RON in the UK the average price in my area is 99.7p per litre.
This is $1.78 per litre.
That makes $6.74 for a US gallon, and $8.08 for an imperial gallon.
Which is about $1 per mile for my Pantera

The ordinary stuff (the cheap stuff ha ha) here is 95RON which is about 91 using the American PON system.

Makes the 110 octane racing gas ($5.25/gal) that I mix with our 91 octane premium from the pump look a little better to me. Premium here today is $2.99/gal.

I'll bet ya' it isn't presently only $5.25/gallon.

That sounds more correct. My cellphone converts units, if you can believe it, but it would appear to not do it very well! It had US gallon. The number didn't sound familiar, but the cellphone must be right, right?

I don't feel all that much better about ONLY paying $5.69 a gallon, but thanks for the correction!

Hey guys,I live out here in the country of southern Md.The price of gas here is 2.89/gal.Not as bad as some places but before long I'm afraid driving the pantera will be taboo because of our gasoline shortages that hasn't hit us yet.I really don't like waiting in lines.

Hi Charlie.
In Austria it is about € 1.10 / Liter.
We just came back from Japan and even there it is cheaper.
I think, in Europe we are the a** of the whole world.

One of my Mexican friends told me that gas was $1.50 per liter in Mexico. That would make it around $6.00 per gallon.
The average wage in Mexico is $4.80 per day there.
Wanna' know why they want to come to the US?

Roland can you immagine how many cars would be on your roads if your gas was as cheap as ours? All of those souped up Fiats and Citrons!

Roland
Here in Ireland we are currently paying about 1.20 euro per liter, our roads are improving but still below average, with some stupidly low speed limits, our health system is pretty average too. I had to pay 10000 euro in duty to register my Pantera when I bought it 4 years ago, and any car with an engine over 3000cc capacity costs 1400 euro for annual road tax!! I sometimes wonder why I still live here!

I was in Spain last month for the first time in almost 6 years. The price of gas really didn't phase me (it's always been relatively high), but the numbers of SUVs running around did.

I was wondering if anyone can report what the cost of ethanol fuel is? We had one report from the UK that it was 7% cheaper the gasolene.
I am in NY. I can't find one gas station that sells it.
I saw one TV article that said it would cost $.70 to $1.00 per gallon now.
Somehow if the oil companies are involved in that I would doubt that.
Can someone in the US confirm the pump prices?

I've recently seen E85 for sale in the UK at just 2% less than standard unleaded which seems at bit pointless.
It's only just started here (in the UK) and is very rare.

Won't the tax structure in the price of fuel preclude a discount in the pump price of any fuel?

Surely the opposite true, at least in the UK.
The government can tax the fuel however they want.
If they want to encourage use of Bio Ethanol they can tax it less.

We saw the opposite happen back in the 80s.
Diesel was cheap compared to unleaded, then diesel cars became very common, then the UK goverment put a huge increase in tax on diesel so it was more per gallon than unleaded.

I was in Italy a few weeks ago. and bio ethanol is on sale there at less than 50c per litre, normal petroleum gasoline costs about 1.20 per litre,which is about the average price for most Euro countries.

Here it costs about 1.45€/L = 1.81$/L. Things in Israel/Lebanon aren´t helping...

If that war worsens I hate to think what the prices will become.
