According to my calculation, gasoline will cost around $8 per galon in Poland. It has been ~$6 or more for quite a long time.

I wonder, how does the eurozone manage to develop, when nearly everything is more expensive than in the USA.
When the US citizens complain about $4 per gallon, I begin to wonder, why do we pay such high taxes and what do our governments do with all the money.

How much is it in other countries? Germany? France? Italy? GB?
If my calculations are right, it's ~$9 per gallon in Germany..

I have returned

um.. americans tend to drive more on average and our areas are much further spaced out than most european countries so we pay roughly the same for gas overall.

by drive more i mean, as far as i know there is alot of public transportation? i many parts of the suburbs there isn't its just family owned cars, no subways or buses.

here in Southern Germany gas is ~1.50€ per liter atm; so that would be your $9/gallon :|
good thing I can use my bike and public transportation to go everywhere... otherwise I'd be one poor bastard

It's like $4.50 where we live.

But it's a lifestyle choice; If I had to pull the most history out of my ass as I could muster, FDR's new deal combined with Eisenhower's ITS (Something Transport System) That basically sunk billions of dollars in to Highways, ensuring that we would become an oil and person car based society.

It's $4.50 because the government subsidizes it, meaning that they've secured treaties and cut deals to ensure that we get oil at a reduced price. While it may seem convenient, we've had to engage in oil wars to protect these sources (Persian Gulf war, 1990-1991 and the Iraq war, 2003-current year, plus additional military operations) that basically secure our cheap oil.

I want to say that the government only makes a few hundred billion dollars and it most likely goes toward defense spending. But that's mostly speculation and not based on fact like the stuff pulled out of the air 1-2 paragraphs up.

This just makes me laugh at idiots getting gas guzzlers, and then bitching at the pump.

Did some silly calculations...

So in Finland average 95e quality (cheapest) gas cost 1.546 e/l. So we convert that to gallons which is
3.78541178 * 1.43600 = 5.43585132 e/gallon -->$ --> 9.22 $/gallon

Prize is supposed to high now that USA has summer season (mass driving) but not that much and it goes little bit down when winter comes.

yup

btw what is englands price?

i was in florida on vacation 2 years ago and met some english guys who were telling me "you would have to be david beckam to drive around england" My memory is choppy but I think he said something like 9-13$ a gallon or something horrible back then. I wonder what it is now.

Oh and on that thought. He also said how nice us americans have it, he said we have less people then england and england is 1/4th the us hehe. also said "There are too many chaps in England". lol

It's also about 8 dollars/gallon in Korea, but they get full service included in that price.

thats why everybody should switch to BIO combustible instead of the arabic oil.
stop giving money to terrorists

You can't get BIO combustible for everyone. The amount produced now led to a food crysis in poorer regions. If you want to support everyone with it that would take up way to much space. I don't think its the solution. We need something new like hydrogen.

In germany its around $9 right now, rising fast.

And @ G5, lol
USA has 6 times the amount of people england has, and is 75 times as big.

Those wars were not about protecting oil. Saddam was one of our happiest sellers, and we were a happy buyer. It's reasonable enough not to believe all the 'freedom' crap, but it's definitely not to get oil cheaply, because we were getting it cheaply with our little dictator in charge.

To the person that mentioned bio fuel, ethanol is a load of shit. When it comes from trash, it's decent (yet still incredibly inefficient) but corn based ethanol has become an agriculture and development nightmare all because of political propaganda. It requires a lot of oil to process ethanol and in the next 20 years, it will take more oil to build a large ethanol infrastructure than we would actually use by remaining with gasoline. THEN you add on top of it the food shortages, which drive all agriculture prices up, and then subsequent industries' prices because food now costs more to buy, and the fact that corn is a shitty crop to grow that depletes the soil.
