Ha! While in Norway last summer, I marvelled to see huge American trucks and suv's driving around.

yesterday unleaded was .98c/L and today driving past its rocketed up to 1.15c/L i wonder if i should convert to gas its like only .48c/L

What you shouldn't do is move down to Melbourne. ULP just went up to 126.9 cents per litre - the most expensive in Australia. And it's rumoured to go higher again.

well today in penrith its up to 125.9 for regular unleaded

I wonder what the price of avgas is in Melbourne? Id rather run 13.7 to 1 for the same price of premium pump fuel.
Also anyone know the Octane rating of the spray can degreaser at Supa cheap auto?
Id rather run that stuff as I can get it for a dollar a litre

The solution would be electric with lightweight batteries as designed in Tokyo university 8 years ago (special alloy plate batteries hold 100 times more charge than lead due to its greater surface area)
But yes CNG is probably the way to go since theres so much of the stuff.

Venezuela is so cheap because they produce their own oil and struggle to export it. The middle east has almost total control of oil exportation but actually have a very minor share of the worlds oil resources.

The Chechnyan rebels in Russia begun terrorist attacks to protect their oil rich land being completely taken over by the Russian Govt. Australia too is oil rich, but our oil is only good for car fuel and nothing else, so isn't desirable overseas.

The problem is everyone on Earth knows oil is a neccessity, so we all try and screw one another around with it to make big bucks. Unfortunately there is enough oil left to last a thousand years, so things aren't going to change in our time.

matbighat: where in norway was u?

norway is rich becaus of oil but we do not haw much monny compared to US or other big countrys but we are only 4 million duds so for us it is a big deal :)

My wifes 2tons of steel. And this is a small SUV/truck/glorified station wagon.

back in the 70's here when we had the 'gas shortage' which was really a distribution problem, more than anything, my parents just bought avgas since it was no more expensive and no lines to get it.

Sure lpg is about half the price....but I've heard you use nearly twice as much of it. Is this true?
