Just out of interest (nothing to do with clusters)
Jan 31^st, 2011 at 2:09pm

Hi All

I'm just curious to know how much you pay for a litre of diesel in the far flung corners of the world that this forum covers.

I got caught short (in the diesel department)! today and the 1st garage I came to was charging £1.43 a litre, which works at $2.27. Angry

Luckily the 2nd garage was £1.38 but at the bottom of a hill so with fumes and gravity I made it!!!! Cheesy

An 80 mile round trip to the office daily and 1000 miles work miles a month means peddle power is not an option!!!! Roll Eyes

If you see something you want.. reach out and grab it with both hands.....just watch out you dont get a smack in the chops for grabbing the wrong thing!!!

Litres and diesel . . . .hmmmm. . . .my brain doesn't work like that. Wink

I can tell you I paid $3.03 a gallon of regular unleaded yesterday at the pump. Ranges from $2.99 to $3.10 depending where you stop in the Milwaukee (WI, USA) metro area. I should also mention that we here in WI are required by LAW to have ethanol added as 10% of our fuel. Damn corn growers . . . . Sad

Well, you figure though Joe, the US is spread far and wide for the miles we have to travel just to go to work, or the grocery store. Not everyone lives in sardine cans in a country the size of Nevada (if that). Wink

Current prices in Oz
Where I live Karratha:
ULP $1.508/litre = $6.85/gal
Diesel $1.488/litre = $6.73/gal

In the city Perth:
ULP $1.306/litre = $5.94/gal
Diesel $1.407/litre = $6.40/gal
The Aussie $ & US $ are about on parity at the moment so no allowance made for exchange rate.

When I drive to Perth in a couple of weeks time it will cost around $400 to do the 1530 kilometre one way trip.
Beats walkin I guess but still cheaper than the Brits Wink

Cheers
Barry

about £1.35 per lt in my part of uk. 1.35*3.78 = £5.10 per us gal, * 1.60 (exch rate) = $8.16 u.s.

I cover 35/40thou miles a year - expensive business going to work which is why everybody drives small hatchbacks. Mercs and BM's have virtually disappeared from the UK motorways (proper name for a freeway).

There are still plenty of people driving large cars around, although there is a trend towards smaller cars.

got a bee in my bonnet over uk public transport, unfortunatly spent 12 years communting in and out of london.
Several years ago we had a short break in Italy. Was about an hour and half drive to the airport parked the car there and off we flew. When we returned to the airport I discovered that I had stupidly lost the car keys.
Our options were 1) get a taxi, 2) get a coach. 3)get the train.
The cheapest solution by a massive margin (about half the cost of all the above) was to hire a car at the airport, take the family home, pick up the spare keys and return to the airport.

Sorry Susie, I had no idea of how bad public transportation was there.

How about car-pooling like many do in California when they have at least an hour commute? One person has a larger car and picks up several folks who are going to the same general area. Everyone chips in for gas (Petrol) and the driver pays nothing for his time and wear-and-tear. Makes everyones share of the cost for gas very manageable.

Hurt people.....hurt people. Think about it.
