    Significant part of petrol price are taxes for highway constructions and we managed to build excellent new highways in last 6-7 years and finally we have a place to spend this expensive petrol :)
    Lots of people now put LPG in their cars, not just in Croatia, Italy is the leader in number of cars driving on it...

    I think we may possibly not all quite be comparing like with like in the pricing here: an imperial gallon is quite a bit bigger than a North American one, I believe? I think a litre (or "liter") is the same everywhere, though?

    $2.89 per gallon. This is too high for me, the oil price is escalading.

    I wonder if there has been a massive spike (or any spike) in public transport usage since gas went off the charts...:confused:

    £0.92/litre ($USD1.84) here in Cornwall, United Kingdom. Cheapest price: Minworth Asda (wal-mart hypermarket in birmingham) at £0.88/litre. ($USD1.76)

    In otherwords, nearly $2/litre.

    sad but true! what is it really like ~20%?

    I don't think most people realize that so much of it goes for taxes.

    this looks promising: http://gaspricewatch.com/usgastaxes.asp

    If we factor in the backwards movement in stop light (I refuse to call them traffic signals) timing as a tax, my numbers can be accurate. Decades ago, cities timed long stretches or roads, now they seem to rely on sensors in the pavement to meter traffic through while ignoring adjacent lights.

    Sorry I jumped from one soap box to another. :eek:

    My buddy used to live in CA, said that their light system was actually pretty damn slick (SF or near there I think). He HATED absolutely HATED the so called system we have here in (Austin) TX.

    But you are telling me different it seems!

    We have this one light, it's got to have an IQ of 40 as far as light go :rolleyes:
