Fuel price

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.

It seems what I heard is wrong. according to the site specified below, there's only 10% of deviation :( http://www.kshitij.com/research/petrol.shtml[^] SaRath.

Hi, now the fuel price in my country is 1 Litter = 1$ us dollar. I don't know what to do? It is really impact to my standard of living. How about the price of fuel in your country?

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

Growing economies in India and China are forcing the prices up ;P We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them. Steve Jobs
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.

Buy a more efficient vehicle. 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. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Around here it's US$3.09/gallon, that's about US$0.81/liter. The price of gas as very nearly doubled in the last 3 years, as there doesn't appear to be an end in sight.

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.

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...

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!

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.

Here it is $2.79 / gallon which works out to $0.74 / liter. Gary Kirkham Forever Forgiven and Alive in the Spirit He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. - Jim Elliot Me blog, You read

I've been in 30/40mpg cars. I don't fit. If I was shorter or had smaller feet (size 14/15) I'd've bought one, I'm single and very rarely need the back seat space. 5/6 passenger models won't let hte drivers seat go back far enough to crush the legs of a potential rear passenger, and the 2 passenger models are sportscar type models, tiny and with high performance gas guzzler engines. For that matter, only 3/10 of the large sedans I tried had enough leg room. The biggest factor wasn't the +- 1/2" book legroom. but the extent that the seat would tilt and the angle the pedals were at (flatter pedals forced me to move my foot back an inch or two. If i was any taller I'd've had to buy a big truck/suv gashog.

Still stuck on tbe storage/distribution problem. Compressed gaseous hydrogen has a much lower energy density than hydrocarbons unless you use an insanely strong tank to contain it, and any puncture would trigger a major explosion even with no flame to ignite the gas. The H2 molecule is also small enough it will leak out the gaps between the atoms making up the tank even if it's flawless. Cryonic hydrogen requires very heavy insulation due to the extremely low temperature at which it liquify's. Also an active powersource is needed to maintain the temperature, otherwise it evaporates and boom. At $500k for a fueling station you also have a major chicken/egg problem. For general purpose use, I expect hte current hybrid model to be the standard for some time to come, medium chain hydrocarbons are the only efficient means we have to safely store hydrogen at the consumer level.
