About as much per litre as you Yanks pay per gallon. Just one of the reasons I have no intention of ever getting a driver's license, let alone a car.

Ditto! (in theory )

Unfortunately I'll have to get that damn driver's licence someday because of different job opportunities. But I'd lie if I told you that cars is my main hobby

London (near me) = £1.06 / $2.12 a litre = £4.00 / $8 gallon.

But there are garages I've seen as high as £1.15 a litre in Chelsea and other areas.

I do ride a bike in the summer, but I always need a car...houses and locations get pretty spread out in the US compared to smaller countries...


The size of the country doesnt matter, its the city planning and infrastructure. Since your infrastructure and cityplanning is built around cheap gas, of course people have to drive more. Again, the size of the country doesnt matter that much. I go 10 miles by bus to and home from university three days per week.

 

Edit: The US commercial and industrial life is also dependant on a much more mobile labour force than most other countries, also a result of cheap  gas.

 True, I didn't really think about what I was typing...but I do visit family and friends in other nearby states frequently, and they're a couple hundred miles away...and it's just nicer to drive on my own time than deal with buses. I take the train downtown Chicago of course.

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres

Currently Europe pay on average the equivalent price you pay for 1 Gallon for just one of these pesky litres. I think it is safe to say that those days are numbered and that difference is set to shrink.

We tend to purchase cars based on Safety both for the car users and pedestrians in addition CO2 and MPG are also key factors. What that means guys is your cars currently have the safety, CO2 and MPG of one of our lorries and well that probably is not going to last forever.

I know the Smart car has just gone on sale in the States it may even sell.

1.06 per liter or $4US per gallon.



Mummelmann on 09 January 2008

Very variable, everything from 11.90 NOK to 13.00 NOK (roughly 2.15 or 2.45$). per litre of course... This is not a good time to own a turbocharged car...

For the people across the pond. The average L/100K for a truck is about 15L/100K and a car is about 10 or so. About half the vehicles are trucks in the states and a little less in canada.

$3.04 per gallon delaware but i bet its 10 cents cheaper if i find a WaWa near by but i hate wasting gas waiting in line for 10 cent lower gas prices lol and by the time i get to it im not saving any money so i just get gas near my house where its a tad more expensive
