What's the price of fuel / diesel in your country ?

I guess U.K. set the record !

Here in Belgium :
- Super 98 RON unleaded-50S = 1,355 Euro / 1 liter (6,25 $ / 1 US gallon)
- Diesel-50S = 1,078 Euro / 1 Liter (4,98 $ / 1 US gallon)

That's why 80% of new cars sold here are diesel ! And 75% of all BMW's sold in Belgium use diesel ! 50% of the total price of diesel are taxes ...


What are the records ? Max & mini ??

Not if the diesels aren't extra taxed as they are in this half sosialist country!

Prices overhere seems to bee around 1,28 for 95E and about 1,03 for winter quality diesel.

A530dA standard costs > 70.000 ? and has a diesel tax of about 550 ? / year.

According to benzinpreis.de the current German prices are as follows (incl. 16% VAT):

1.228 ? Regular (91)
1.254 ? Super (95)
1.336 ? Super Plus (98)
1.079 ? Diesel

Diesel is cheaper due to lower taxes (delta is approx. 22 ct per litre) on Diesel fuel.

Fuel is subject to heavy taxation here: 65,45 ct/l (47,04 ct/l for Diesel) mineral oil tax and 0,46 ct/l (0,39 ct/l) "stocking" tax.

Apparently in the uk around 70p of every 90p per litre of unleaded is tax in some form or another (whether it be VAT or actual tax)

I sometimes cry when im at the fuel station.

US
Reg petrol (87 octane) - $2.29 per US gallon
Premium (92 octane) - $2.49
Diesel - $2.69

In NC - About $.44 a gallon is tax - 18 federal and 26 state so we sit on the other side of 80/20. I am surprised by the extra cost you pay for "premium" gas - I would put regular in my car if that was the case - here it is so little...

The funny thing is that in NC, our gas tax is indexed to go up as prices go up. So it went up about 2.5 cents this year d/t higher prices (we paid $1.50 a year ago) and there was a call for a special session of the state legislature to repeal the increase!

Here are the current US prices....National Unleaded Average


Regular Mid Premium Diesel

Current Avg. $2.327 $2.471 $2.561 $2.586
Yesterday Avg. $2.333 $2.478 $2.568 $2.587
Month Ago Avg. $2.322 $2.465 $2.554 $2.573
Year Ago Avg. $1.902 $2.020 $2.094 $2.062

*Prices are in US dollars per gallon

Is there any difference in the economy of Diesel vs. Premium?
