What is the price of gasoline in Europe?

[kentuck]

Because they were already paying $3.00 plus back when we were paying only 1.50 per gallon? Have the prices gone up in Europe also? Or just in America? Any Europeans out there?

1. Umm... Six kronas per hectare, or something.

Ten euros per millibar....fifteen fathoms per ducat....

[kentuck]

2. Well, that was a serious answer...

:)

[patdem]

6. Yeah, them ferners don't know how to calculate..they base everything

on 10..silly ferners. Why do that when you can base everything on something different for every differtent type of measure...pints..quarts..gallons/feet..yards..miles/ounces..pounds..grosses. etc?

3. It's gone up a little but not very much.

My son lives in Sicily. I asked him about it a few weeks ago. He's paying around 6.50 euro. It's still higher than here, BUT the Italians put a very large tax on their gasoline and pay health care, road repair and a lot of other things with the money.

[bullimiami]

5. 6.50 euro per litre?

gas in europe and england is very expensive but the taxes pay for all sorts of things like socialized health care, decent infrastructure etc...

7. 1,3 euro / l or so for regular, 1,1 for Diesel

where are you guys going?!

[elehhhhna]

4. 50 bucks per pint, American. who cares? how much is a tonsillectomy in

Europe?

[SlipperySlope]

16. I don't need a tonsillectomy

Why not ask about the price of heroin in Sweden, I don't need any of that either.

8. about 95p per litre in the UK

which works out at about $6.40 per US gallon at current exchange rates. According to the AA site, UK average is 94.6p, of which 64.7% is taxes.

[BelgianMadCow]

13. and what is the trend on that in the UK?

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. Up about 4p per litre in the last 3 weeks

It was fairly steady before that.

[BelgianMadCow]

26. We have a small increase over a week's time I think

thanks!

[Waya]

9. Between 1.17 and 1.38 EURO per litre

[Waya]

10. In Germany, that is

[SlipperySlope]

14. = $6.47 USD / Gallon

N/T

[SlipperySlope]

11. London = $7.21 USD / gallon

Had to convert UK Pounds to US Dollars, and Liters to Gallons, and there you go...

[katty]

12. generally $5 and up-last time i was there

[tandot]

15. A year ago, they paid about the same as we pay here

for only ONE liter (3.79 liter is 1 Gallon).

on edit: at least that is what a German friend told me. I don't have any proof for that.

[helderheid]

18. When I was living there in 2001 it was around $5 a gallon

[tridim]

20. How far did you have to drive to work and for groceries?

[tridim]

19. I want to know how much they pay in China

Because I'm guessing our high prices are subsidizing their low prices.

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. How would that work?

Do you think Exxon makes a loss in China for the fun of it?

[tridim]

22. I don't claim to know how it works..

But I do know drug dealers give you a good deal at first to get you hooked. Not to mention the Chinese can't afford expensive gas yet, but they still need it.

It's probably run just like the Pharmaceutical industry.

[SlipperySlope]

27. Gas in China = $2.20 USD / gallon

As of April 19th, at 4.65 yuan/liter

However, China artifically manages the value of their currency, so this makes meaningful conclusions more difficult.

[Kellanved]

28. Uhm: no.

General rule of thumb: No oil-importing nation has cheaper gas than the US.

[huskerlaw]

23. Just had this convo with a Belgian...

by her math, it's the equivalent of about $6.30/gallon.

[Kipling]

24. Around $6-7 per gallon.

It has risen recently. I'm not complaining, it's good for the planet.

[dipsydoodle]

25. Broadly speaking we always pay at least twice what you do.

Tax and duty have not increased much if at all for a year or so because when the government attempted to do the road transport guys came out in force and ran rolling road blocks down the motorways and also made it clear they could if necessary gridlock London, Now that's what you call an effective protest if you wanna take a leaf out of our book.
