Here in Northern Idaho, gas has risen from about $3.85 to about $4.05. This sucks guys!
 
5$ a gallon on average for diesel. I'm glad I'm not my dad. It's an eyesore to go to the pump.

Isn't diesel supposed to be the cheapest?
 
Diesel is now the most expensive, becuase of the extra care it takes to make. Also there is no point for 89 octane gasoline. Plus the semis only have two tanks - one for 87 gas, one for 92 or higher gas.
 
I've noticed that we've been holding steady around town at $3.99 at the "expensive" gas stations. Its nice to see it below $4.00 again, but I don't want to get too comfortable either.
 
I find it stupid how the barrel is "dropping", yet the price I pay at the pump continues to stay still or go up.

$1.43/L :irked:

Well thats just ridiculous, diesel is the crudest of fuels/ least refined. And why would you make the fuel that allows for major transport of goods across the country.
 
1.58€ per litre, 95€ for a full tank. Equal to about 9.40 USD per gallon and 149 USD for a full tank. I wonder where's that big price drop...
 
Way to exploit the bad exchange rate for shock value :rolleyes:.
 
*eyebrow* how come you guys (american) are getting royally soaked, yet? our 87 is down to 3.95!
 
It comes down to taxes I believe for the most part, but other factors like shipping from the refinery come into play as well.

Shock value my 🤬, if you came here to fill up my car you would have to exchange that 149 dollars to euros, regardless of if you like it or not. Life sucks sometimes. The question was how much I pay for fuel and I answered it, and converted it for you Americans for easier understanding.

Speaking of the "bad exchange value", I seriously doubt it's all down to it that the full tank costs almost a tenth of my monthly pay after the taxes. And I work seven hours a day. Fuel just happens to cost a fortune here.

If you really don't want to know how much the fuel costs outside America put in in the thread title. Or, preferably, stop whining about whatever makes you feel like the biggest victim in the world. You say a mod told you not to exclude the rest of the world so don't. Fuel just happens to cost a fortune here.
 
No one asked for your to convert the prices, as I've said numerous times in this thread why is is so hard for people just to say "I filled up today and paid X euros and boy was that expensive"? If someone wants to convert it into their own currency www.xe.com does a great job. I have no issue, as I've said numerous times, with people from any country saying the price they are paying. If it's expensive for you then that's all that matters, comparing it to the rest of the world doesn't.

There are so many different variables in why fuel costs the way it does such as, the way the taxes affect it, delivery costs, exchange rates, etc. that converting prices or even comparing country to country (and sometimes state to state) is pointless.

You really are a straw man aren't you?
 
Now, point me the sentence in post #1035 in which I compared it to the rest of the world, not to mention USA specifically. Good luck finding it. Take a big lunchbox with you, it might take a while.

What I don't understand in this thread is that the US citicens are perfectly entitled to whine about their fuel prices while the others are immediately attacked for trying to say something, as excellently demonstrated by you. As much as I want to believe otherwise I can't help thinking that some of the Americans want to play their role as the biggest innocent victims of the fuel price increases and don't want the rest of the world spoiling their national moaning by showing that the situation can be a lot worse.

Sure, I understand that you have been used to cheaper fuel but it still doesn't change the fact that driving slightly more than 200 kilometres a day would take up my entire monthly pay, equal to about $2000, in fuel alone. I certainly think I'm entitled to whine about it. If you don't, bad for you. You'll have to deal with it.
 
Try looking at when you converted your price to USD. That right there compared the prices of fuel in Finland to the American prices.

But whatever, this thread is going to go no where good therefore I think it's time for a long overdue on of these.
