Just today I went to fill up and guess what, it's now at US$.59 @Litre!!!

HALF of what it was two months ago!!! Fuel prices just two months ago were
really high with 'super diesel' at US$1.10 @Litre...

Makes me want to go out and buy a 4.2L car!!!


What's your diesel prices over there like?

krikey thats cheap fuel !!

where not known as rip off Britain over here for nothing, i think if most of the tax on top of tax was removed from our fuel cost then we would be getting somewhere near your prices.

Yeh its about $2.50 a GALLON here in New York I think. I dont take diesel. Regular gas is now only 2.14 a gallon and the premium is 2.45. NOW i want a v8 . Hopefully they dont go up again because 4.30 for Premium was just seriously ridiculous.

Honestly, I don't care what the fuel costs. It doesn't really matter, cause no matter what it costs I gotta have it to drive my vehicle(s). When premium was $5 a gallon, I thought it was ok, now when it is $2 per gallon - great. But let's be honest, if it will be $10 per gallon, everyone will bitch, but still buy it - cause you have to have it. I love my V8s and will not sacrifice power for efficiency.
