How much are you paying

As apposed to 0.21 cents a gallon in '68...?


What did you make in 68? What was the percentage of your earnings that went to fuel?

I don't look at item per item cost, I look at buying power across the board as a percentage of what I earn.

Doesn't affect me one bit, I drive more now than I ever did, and have more than I have ever had.   yep, I feel pretty foolish.

Crap I remember having Ration Coupons for Litres in Germany... That suc'd in the Wintertime...

Frikken coupons... rationed fuel.  

Miasels HefeWeissen was the best Bier I had in Barvaria.
Had an Original Bud in Marktredvich,FRG...was good, not impressed.

The German Hefewiessen Bier and the German Winter Gluvine was the best.

I kinda miss Germany.

Here it's around 20 roubles per litre. 25.5 roubles for one US dollar, and it's in a country that exports oil and where average income per capita is about 10 times smaller then in the US...

1 US-Gallone  = 3,7853 Litre
so you have to multiply it by aprox 3.8

btw. our german gas prices:
1 Litre super unleaded: 1.33€ thats 1.79$
1 US-Gallon would be aprox at 5,05€ or 6,80$

good night ;)

I, for one, Prefer they buying power of Today far more than I did when fuel was 1.17 per gallon.

If you want to take up a cause, why not berate the water companies, bottled water costs Far More than gasoline, where's the outrage?  Come on, Starbucks, 3.80 for Coffee?  Take up a real cause, lose the soundbites, you look somewhat uninformed when you make a baseless comment like that.

Should cost half, based on What?


ROC it is only the matter if the person want to answer it or not, its not about politics or anything like that, personally I can give two craps less about those people, yes of course I know what is going on just I don't like the people. I did not want this to get political at all

At current UK prices (94.5 pence per litre) and for a UK gallon (5 litres) we currently have to pay the princely sum of ....wait for it........$9.40 dollars per gallon (uk gallon slightly bigger than a US gallon......)

Majority of that (86%) is tax...ho hum...
