Current Gas Prices....

We in the U.S. are "suffering" from the latest round of gas price increase.
$3.29 USD as of today where I'm from.

Just curious, what are our national and most importantly, international list members paying these days?

Thanks in advance!!

I'd put it to you that people in the US don't know anything about high fuel prices. Here we're paying 1.53-1.60 per L depending where you live and soon an extra 10c a litre in our largest centre. However in Europe it's really really high.

yeah i have to agree that most of Americans got no idea about how cheap petrol they've got
i mean we almost hitting S2.00 per liter at the moment.and it will get worse.
heh i think im going to move to USA
and europe is much worse then new zealand.Since im European and ive been to NZ just for over 3 years now there is a big difference.they pay slightly over $2 wich is $1.4 usd...

Kiawah, remember that's a 1 liter tank for all of us.

Yea, it is true about everyone else' gas prices are much higher than the U.S. But I guess it is because us americans have never had this expensive gas.

Your gasprices are really cheap compared to the Netherlands.
At the moment I pay €1.60 per liter. That translates to $8 per U.S. Gallon.

So to fill the tank that's $215.

Put 64.15 litres in on Sunday for 422 k's of driving. Used Premium ULP for, AUD$91 worth at close to $1.50 a litre and the Aussie's at 85 US cents. Equates to US$4.80 a US gallon.
Get used to it, it ain't going to get any cheaper!
The 600 returned about US 15mpg (15L/100k) for a 4 up fully laden trip with 4 bikes on the back (as in bicycles).
