[:"black"] [/] Hi People.........DownUnder, (Australia) is experiencing horrific petrol prices at the pump

.......don't know the 'exchange rate' to gallons, but our costs are $1.20 a litre.

It hurts the family budget hard and we are allowed pizza only one night a week!

.......... WHERE do I find facts about this subject?

......WHO? publishes their mpg's on a site?

......WHAT does this group know about fuel economy?

WHAT does it cost to fill up your car(name/model/ cylinders) compared to last year?

And here’s a dooozy, “how bad does it hurt the family budget? – will you have to holiday closer to home?”

IF you answer, please country, state, then date at beginning of message.

Tah very much,

Wally from Seed Knee.

Hi,

In Thailand it's 23 Baht/liter (~US$0.57); my parents in Europe pay almost 3 times that I think.

I think 1 gallon = 4.5 liters, btw, meaning my parents pay almost US$7 a gallon. And Americans are complaining about the cost of fuel

Sanuk!

WHAT DO I PAY FOR PETROL? WELL I PAY ABOUT....

Right, sorry... I guess I caught the fever too. Anyway...

What you call "petrol" we call "gasoline." Where I live we pay 1.98USD/gallon. This is about as high as I've ever seen gasoline priced in my entire life. This works out to about 0.52USD/liter (since 1 gallon equals 3.8 liters.) In Australian dollars this works out to about 0.68AUD/liter at the current exchange rate of about 0.77AUD to 1.00USD.

Saying it in Aussie
Wherever, AUS - 1.20AUD/liter
Maryland, USA - 0.68AUD/liter

Saying it in American
Wherever, AUS - 3.51USD/gallon
Maryland, USA - 1.98USD/gallon

I don't know the answers to any of your other questions, except that our prices haven't really changed much since this time last year that I can recall.

We currently pay 80-90p per litre.

90p is 1.64USD or 2.14AUD

So 1.20AUD is cheap! and so is 0.68 USD!!

You guys have never had it so good....

Well as I said, this is about as high as it's been. So actually, we've had it a lot better!
