Quote: So, current NZ & AU fuel prices are around U.S. $4.00 a gallon? They're probaly the wrong side of US$5.00 a gallon at the moment. Even higher if you use premium.

If you guys are paying $1.30 a liter, thats almost $4.93 a gallon, IIR my conversions correctly. Today, prices here are anywhere from $2.68 to $3 a gallon, depending on grade and location within the city :) I can't complain, since my Volvo, Pulsar, and Sunny wagon all sip the fuel :) The silly people who drive giant trucks on the other hand, are probably ready to cry

Here in San Diego, we're about U.S. $2.80/gallon for regular, and we're supposed to be the highest in the country.
that's funny - everytime our fuel prices rise they blame the world crude oil price. the politicians forget to mention that approx half our pump price is federal govt excise, and on top of that they charge their 10% GST. Yes that's right, they add tax to their tax. The treasurer must rub his hands together in glee everytime fuel prices go up, because it means they'll be gettting even more money for nothing!

Just thought I'd ad some interesting figures I found in The Bulletin a few weeks back. All have been converted to Australian dollars per Litre.
-World Bowser Prices-
Netherlands - $2.26
UK - $2.02
Germany - $1.94
AUSTRALIA - $1.16
US - $0.77
Russia - $0.73
China - $0.63
Saudi Arabia - $0.32
Nigeria - $0.13
Venezuela - $0.04
To add to what L18_B110 said, with petrol at $1/L,
Refinery price=39c
Federal excise=38.1c
Retail margin=13.8c
GST=9.1c
and how long will it last? current projections say there's about 40.5 years of oil left, but to put that in perspective, in 1974, they predicted 7 years until oil ran out.
