So, current NZ & AU fuel prices are around U.S. $4.00 a gallon?
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!
