People complained about gas being confusing but most people I know either buy a tank full, or $20 worth.
Where are you buying gasoline (petrol) these days!!??? I drive a Dodge Caravan and here in Florida it takes $40,00 worth of regular to fill up, if I stop before the little gas pump lights up. -Tom
:-( I haven't seen fuel that cheap since I was a kid :-( the 50L tank on : my
Ford Mondeo diesel costs $72, and diesel is around 13c a litre less than unleaded...
Where do you buy your fuel? Last week, I paid the most I've ever paid for gas @ $1.05/L (CDN). It's the only time I've paid over $1. My Taurus holds 66 L.
Well it costs more than that for a litre here in Germany, at the moment my local Aral has regular diesel at €1.149 ($1.45) a litre, Ultimate Diesel is €1.229 ($1.55) and unleaded is €1.239 ($1.56) ISTR. Luckily I get around 5,3L/100 out of the Mondeo (~53mpg), which isn't bad for something of its body size (family station wagon). It drops to the mid 40's when I'm doing long motorway trips cruising over the 160km/h (100mph) mark.
And Germany is cheap next to England, my brother is currently paying around $2 a litre for Petrol and a little more for Diesel.
I'm always getting pretty upset when Shell's claims *our* petrol price rise because the *USA* citizens are going on holiday, or when BG sneezes, or when OBL sends another promo-video to Al Jazeera or whatever other stupid reason the stock-cowboys come up with.
