      1 liter = 1.40 Euro. That's 1.78 US dollars per liter. Anyway, the fuel price does not directly impact on my standard of living. I assume food and other stuff is becomes a bit more expensive whenever the fuel price rises, because it has to be transported on trucks that need fuel. My tram ticket might cost a little more, because the tram company also provides couple of bus lines. So what? The fuels price has been rising and rising for years, but I never felt any need to reduce my life style. Byt he way: I never had a car. I go by bike and train. _____________________________________________________________________________ I don't expect too much, all I want is your vote for Halbsichtigkeit.

      It's about 97 pence per litre here, which works out at 1.78 US$ too - spooky. Back where my mother in law lives (a few hundred miles further south) it's about 5p cheaper, but on the whole most of the UK is paying just under a uk Pound per litre now :-\ -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

        Think yourself lucky. The cheapest price I can find for unleaded locally is 95.9p/litre GBP, which is $1.76/litre USD. Prices here show every sign of creaping up much further than that too - I really wouldn't be surprised if it was approaching £1.20/litre ($2.20) by this time next year.

          South Africa is about 6.50 rands.(exchange rate at the moment $1=R7.20) OK only about 90 us cents, but if you only earn about $1000pm(R7000) it seems more. Petrol prices have increased here going from R2/litre 4 years ago. Its getting so that walking is best. Its a pity I stay 30km from work LOL

                Tried Tesco? Theirs down here in Wales is around 92.9p/l. Also if you spend more than £50 in Tescos you can get 5p/l off, it seriously helps if you need to fill up something (from empty) like a Shogun (which we have) or a Range Rover (which a friend has). Our Shogun has an 80-90l fuel tank and my friends Rangey has a 120l one! He's there for about 10mins filling it up unless they use the lorry pumps.

                      The same applies in India as well. A dollar equals about 46 Rupees Indian Rupee (as of today's rate). And currently 1 litre petrol stands about 53 rupees. :^) Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Homepage namespace LavanyaDeepak

                            But the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has a different quote. The crude oil prices from the Gulf and other oil producing countries seems to be experiencing an acute shortage. I think, they should also, seriously look out for non-petrol energy sources as well. General Public should also consider more patronage to public conveyance system rather than depending on private motor systems. This will significantly improve traffic conditions, at least in India.

                                    That's a full size 5/6 passenger car. As a tall long legged person I can't drive anything smaller. The seats don't go back far enough. Short range commuter trips wouldn't be a problem with something a bit smaller, but 3hr+ road trips would be torture, and I've got a 10+ hrs one planned for later in the month. We have econoboxes getting 30/40, but the 2 passenger microcar would never sell in the us market. The cliche about differences of scale; in America 100years is a long time, in Europe 100miles is a long drive; definately applies here.

The price of gas as very nearly doubled in the last 3 years, as there doesn't appear to be an end in sight. My truck (load payment + insurance + gas to get to work) now costs more than my house payment! Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

                                      Yeah, and think, these prices are in an "oil producing" country. I am wondering where all the hydrogen vehicles are that everyone was promising just a couple years ago. Guess the hybrids pushed them on the back burner. I wonder what is next, virtual vacations, enjoy family and friends along with natural beauties all from the comfort of your computer chair...

                                        Tried Tesco? Theirs down here in Wales is around 92.9p/l. Also if you spend more than £50 in Tescos you can get 5p/l off, it seriously helps if you need to fill up something (from empty) like a Shogun (which we have) or a Range Rover (which a friend has). Our Shogun has an 80-90l fuel tank and my friends Rangey has a 120l one! He's there for about 10mins filling it up unless they use the lorry pumps.

                                        It's about the same price. We don't shop in Tesco either (we buy local when we can; the few things we can't find there usually come from Sainsburys), so there are no discounts coming from that direction!

                                          In the US recently I saw an advert for a car boasting 29 miles to the gallon. That would be laughed off the screen in the UK.

                                          That's a full size 5/6 passenger car. As a tall long legged person I can't drive anything smaller. The seats don't go back far enough. Short range commuter trips wouldn't be a problem with something a bit smaller, but 3hr+ road trips would be torture, and I've got a 10+ hrs one planned for later in the month. We have econoboxes getting 30/40, but the 2 passenger microcar would never sell in the us market. The cliche about differences of scale; in America 100years is a long time, in Europe 100miles is a long drive; definately applies here.

                                          That sounds rather similar to my car. Even that does close to 40 mpg - and it's 8 years old!!! Seriously, 29mpg is crap unless you have a Hummvee in which case it's a bloody miracle.... ;P Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.
