Title: Fuel Prices around the World.
Post by: vRS Carl on March 14, 2011, 06:36:05 pm
Found this.

The table below shows (in terms of $) just what we are all paying for fuel.

I like how the Yanky Doodle Dandy's pay about a 1/3 of what we do but still say it's expensive :stupid:

The yanks pay almost half anyone else on that list :stupid:

If im honest i thought are's would be alot more than most other eu countries but it aint that bad really when comparing.

Maybe its just the western eu countries that get held for ransom, the old soviet sector dont do to bad.

I have a freind out in abu dhabi at the min and it costs $13 to fill up a ford ranger :surprised:

God Knows what their moaning about. Although while over there last year we where driving a people carier (think it was a dodge) and the OBC said ECO and displayed our MPG which we managed to get a maximum of 19.1MPG not exactly my idea of eco! and driving down the freeway and the 'car poll' lane (2 or more people) is always empty and their will be a carpark of V8s on idle on the freeway!

*using UK Vpower price from my last fill up
