In my area, last i looked, it was 4.20, though I paid 4.30 in Orange.

[Bakkels]

Well there's always worse. Here in Holland you pay €1,74 per liter which comes down to $9,50 per gallon..

[Jimbuna]

In the UK we are now averaging over £1.30 a litre...absolutely disgraceful and nothing short of legalised robbery

[TarJak]

Average is AU$1.45/L at the moment. About AU$0.10 more for premium 98 Octane.

[THE_MASK]

$1.56 litre diesel . Brisbane = $5.90 a gallon .

Well, here in blighty diesel used to be cheaper than petrol, this, encouraged by the government, led to many people buying diesel cars. Over time diesel became more expensive with the addition of higher fuel duty. dutylolz. I'd expect your model to follow the same lines.... be afraid, be very afraid.

Currently 1 litre of diesel can be as much as £1.41.9 (indeed higher in some places), with petrol being about 5ppl cheaper.

in real terms it means filling up from empty will cost about £130.00 per tank (89L).
This is with the bog-standard economy diesel fuel, never mind about your V-power from shell or whatever.
It makes me rage every time I get rapped at the pump.

So diesel is more expensive in the UK than regular petrol?
That's kinda weird.. Or are there tax-benefits when driving diesel in the UK? Cause here in the Netherlands, diesel is quite a bit cheaper than petrol, but you pay more road-tax (or whatever it's called in English).
So you only benefit from diesel when you're driving more than 30.000 km.

MoGas = LPG?

I dunno what LPG is, but "MoGas" is what Unleaded gasoline is called in the US military.

No tax benefits for driving a diesel. You can get vehicles that get cheaper road tax, but that's based on retrospective (back to vehicles registered from 2001) road tax based on c02 emissions*. Basically less emissions = less tax, and in some cases, no road tax at all.

Essentially, drivers here have been encouraged to buy diesel vehicles - the original cost of diesel in the UK was cheaper than petrol - diesel was hailed as more efficient and therefore greener and less polluting than petrol.
So more people got diesel cars. The end result is that diesel is now more expensive than unleaded petrol, by a margin of at least 5 pence per litre on average.

Ah, ok. LPG - liquid petroleum gas.


* whilst this has made the road tax on some cars cheaper, it has made others more expensive. Eg. landrover discovery 2001 TD5 2.5L used to cost about £200 per year to tax. After the retrospective change in road tax back to 2001, the same vehicle is now about £400 to tax for the year.

Reminds me of the eighties when the Thatcher administration opened up council houses for sale and encouraged people to purchase tey're own property.

Look at the situation in recent years and the number of homes repossessed.

Yeah but that's per gallon not per litre

[DarkFish]

€1.65 a litre

How many litres is a gallon anyway? Wikipedia gives 2 different types of US gallons.
Crazy Americans with all your strange units... miles, feet, gallons, ounces...

1 US gallon = 3.785411784 liters/1 UK (Imperial) gallon = 4.54609188 liters.
