The guys who live there will chime in tomorrow and I'm sure correct me. Obviously varies from country to country depending on many factors, including taxes, but it is in the ballpark of $6 a gallon. Maybe even higher with the recent run up in oil prices. I can understand why the Europeans don't have a lot of sympathy for us Americans paying $2.25 (plus or minus) a gallon.

There's a post called Oil Prices in the lounge on this topic, sort of. I think Iceman quoted about $5 per gallon.

We're paying over $2.80 a gallon for 91 octane here in No. Cal now.

Hi Guys

Here in HK, to fill up my 520 from E to F will cost me approx US$100+. FYI. Could very well be the most expensive gas on earth. :'(

It comes around $5 per gallon if you pay the tax.

In the next town (our village (Hambach) is so small we do not have a gasoline station) 1.23 for the 95 Octane and 1.26 for the 98 Octane all in Euro's. The exchange is some where around 1 dollar will buy .78 Euro Cents. The other thing most folks are shocked at in the States is the 16% sales tax (Germany) on top of the high income tax.

Yes, we have it pretty good in the States!
