fuel, once again...

Olli

After reading lots of posts about fuelprices and stuff, I'm really wondering, how much gas CPians cars need... I have a Mazda that needs 7,9l per 100km (means som 30mile per gallon) Q1: So how much does your car need? I'm from germany, and here gas prices have always been higher than in the US, much higher. At the moment, gas is near 7$/gal. Q2: How much is gas where you come from? Greetings! Olli!

In the UK it is around $8.00 per gallon. My local petrol station had it up at 98.9 pence per litre this morning. It is being mooted in the press that the price may rise to over £1.00 per litre very soon. home

Is it the same in the UK, that most of the price is tax? In germany more than 70% ... X|

Yes. We europeans get shafted for fuel duties. I used to rofl when the yankies moan about fuel prices! Although these days they are getting a rough deal too.

My Opel Senator 24V (204 PS) needs about 10 to 13l per 100 km. My Opel Omega B 2.2 Caravan (144 PS) needs about 9 to 12l per 100km

Currently with a volvo V40 I'm guessing about 7 to 7,5 liters. (Although it's highly dependent on your driving style)

I think it's about 1,12€ per liter for diesel; Fuel is about 1,45€ per liter. [That's in Belgium that is ... :)] Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter if you don't. -- modified at 6:58 Wednesday 26th April, 2006

Where I live in the US gas is around $2.89 a gallon (96 cents a liter) and my car Chrysler 300M Special get about 300 miles a tank. I think my tank hold 15 gallons. Brett A. Whittington Application Developer

I get about 35-40 miles to the gallon (2003 Mondeo 1.8), but I do very few miles (~5,000 last year) as I work from home 3 or 4 days a week and also live close to the office (12 miles or so). Hence petrol prices aren't at the top of my agenda. Nowhere near the top in fact!

A1. Around 38mpg A2. 95.9 to 98.9p/l and rising. :( Where I live (Cornwall, UK) the public transport system isn't startling so I can't do without a car. Living in a tourist destination (grumble, mutter) the price usually goes up "in season" and was pushing £1/litre over Easter in places.

Just so we're on the same page, what is the cost of other goods such as a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, a movie ticket?
