Because ours never got that high! And I believe Europes are high due to a tax which goes to fix roads and highways.

There was another topic like this, but since it's 7 pages back on the search and almost a year old I'll let this one live!

Anyways, here we're paying (recently) anywhere from 88.5 cents per Litre to $1.10 a Litre. What that is in gallons, I have no idea.

In my area it is about 2.60-3.00 a gallon, it really depends on which store you go to.

At the mo... I think *gets out binoculars and looks at the two local petrol stations*
�1.10 a litre. That's about $2.20. A LITRE.

But hey, petrol prices should be higher, so that people would get off their lazy bums and walk once in a while.

no, people need to stop being greedy so the decent human being who does an honest days hard work and gets paid an ok salary isnt empting his pockets to the gas gaints, its not the people who work in the refineries, or the oil wells that are getting the money, ITS THE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE BOARD ROOMS that get the pay raise from the bigger profit marjins

yay $2.53 in Grand Rapids, MI... though I take the public transportation bus from downtown to Allendale for classes every day, so I don't really use my car anymore...

I would walk, but it's like a half-hour bus ride, so like a two hour walk.
