Petrol (Gasoline) Prices Around the World - Part Deux 2008

New York was talking about suspending the TAX for the summer. By my calculation based on miles driven, miles per gallon, and the tax I would save about $50.00. Is it worth it over a 12 week period?

That is only the State Tax. Calculate the amount of costs by taking the State and Federal taxes out.

Saw some diesel in the UK for £1.45/litre, Motorway service station, which equates to about $11 a gallon.

Currently at $1.34 CAD per liter. With an 81 liter tank it costs about $100 to fill every 2-2.5 weeks. Sad thing is that I calculated how much of my salary goes to gas! If I worked walking distance from home I could make $2/hr less and still have the same net salary just by not having to buy gas!! :mg: Sickening.

decreasing or stopping the gas taxes is not going to solve anything, you will just end up being taxed somewhere else. Would you give up a chunk of your paycheck? Well, the govt. isn't going to either.

I would be willing to pay the taxes else where. Since in California, the use of the Vehicle is a major part of life.

If they (Government) really want to stimulate the economy, that would be the best way instead of a Tax refund in my opinion. Most of the refunds is just being spent on the Gasoline, not what their original intent was.

This way they get the money back they gave us. So basically they cut the tax if what you say is true about it going towards gas anyway:truce:

I saw deisel for $4.69/gallon. $11/gallon??????:mg:

As you can see, I have certain priorities

Yes, the head shot is actually me.

Well . . . as long as you have "tunes," what more do you need?

The way the price increase, researchers could think of using alternate!

Food oils are cheaper than the petrol price.

Since March the price of Diesel rised 18%, anda the price of Unleaded 95 Octane only rised 7%!

Why?
Because in Portugal everybody has Diesel cars...

Kinda funny how that works. I still want to know WHY they aren't saying there is a gas shortage????

Why else is there such a rise in the prices?
