I don't Know and as I don't have a car or a driver's license I don't really care - but I can assure you the price of petrol is much higher over here than in the United States.

And of course, again, it doesn't matter as much to you Euros is your countries are smaller and you drive a LOT less then we do. The sheer size of our states, let alone our nation is so large that driving is pretty much mandatory to survive/make a living the only way to really save on fuel by using public transport is to live in a major city. So really, when it comes down to it, I'd think comparing Europe to the USA in gas usage/driving needs is like comparing apples to oranges.

Here in central Florida fuel is running 3.09 - 3.12 a gallon and it was at 2.95ish last week.

Just because the country is large doesn't mean people can't live in concentrated urbanizations.  The reason for US fuel wastage is bad public policy (or rather public policy that prioritizes other values than economic efficiency), not the physical size of the country.

Not everyone in the US can/wants to live in an urban area. I doubt many Euros either here on this board on in general drive 15+ miles to work, one way, on a daily basis.

Gas is about $3.50 a gallon here.

There is evidence that oil has already peaked.

Maybe someone who cared about finding new energy sources should have been elected President, instead of electing a ticket of 2 Texas oil men?

What did Clinton do about alternative energy?

The gas price in the Netherlands is nearly 8$ the gallon now ...

And the average Dutch person drives how many miles in a week? We have states the size of countries here and some people drive them on a bi-weekly basis. Can Euros say the same? I think not.

I just spent nearly 160 dollars to drive from Florida to Virginia! Yikes! Oh well, I was expecting it. The average price in each state from Florida to Virginia was about 2.95$.

I paid $9.46 this week.
Jeez I need to move!



That's what it works out to be per gallon? Of course Americans have to drive much more then yall do.

Anyways, here it's $3.15/gal.

Today I saw regular at 3.88$. Diesel is floating at about 4.70/gal.

Has anyone else here been losing gas mileage due to the addition of Ethanol? That stuff sucks bad.

Addition? Ethanol's been in gas as long as I can remember.

They've been doing it more recently around here.

I'd rather get my gas from some joe's corn field than from Saudi Arabia and Iran.. so it's not horrible news.

Decreased gas mileage and engine damage isn't bad?

Today, food-discounter Hofer (in Germany "Aldi") started their first discount gas stations in Austria with prices that are 50% lower than all the other gas stations. There were traffic jams ranging to 10km, even tons of people from Germany went over the border to fill up the tank, creating massive jams between Salzburg and Bavaria.

The regular price is about 1.1€ per Liter (about 5.8$ the gallon). The picture below has gas at 3.2$ the gallon ...



We have those Aldis everywhere around here. Not worth it from what I heard.
