    Higher fuel taxes.
    European Union Gas/Diesel prices in EUR per liter are here.

    "Bruttopreise" is what we pay at the pump, "Nettopreise" is net of taxes.

    Silver lining: in case of real crisis (e.g. oil price $50-60 per barrel) government may lower taxes to dampen shock.

    BTW: EUR 1 is around USD 1.20 now.

    Gallon - Liter (and more) Converteris here

    Very useful -- thank you, boa8!

    I was just wondering yesterday how US petrol prices stacked up to European prices. This answers all my questions!

    $1.98 for 87 octane over here in Ft. Luaderdale Florida! Some say we have it pretty good compared to other states....

    Darn! Someone beat me to it! The ARM/LEG price sign is in my 'hood -- Menlo Park. I wanted to go take a picture of it with my Prius, but just haven't gotten around to it. ;-)

    i just got back from spain, paid about $4.75/gal for gas. funny thing is that after i filled my rental (Seat) it went a 100' and died. turned out it was a diesel car. i hadn't a clue, performed like a gas engine. so after paying my $150 deductible, they towed it away and gave me another car, this time, a gas engine. diesel fuel would have been cheaper, had i known.

    Filled up my little red Prius yesterday @$2.26.9 $15.55

    Filled up the wife's Dodge Intrepid today at $2.29.9 $38.50

    Thank God for the Prius and the fact that her car will not need gas for over a month, it sits in the garage most of the time.

    rented a 20-mpg Taurus on Kauai last week (Hawaii) and gas was around 2.49-2.59-2.69 for low to high-test.

    put about 18 gallons of regular after a week's driving and ditched the car at the airport.

    i liked my '97 Taurus better. smoother brakes, less "touchy" throttle response....

    North Oakland, CA Shell station. Prices went up 13 cents today, up to $2.49/2.59/2.69.

    I need my Prius bad.

    134 days and waiting.

    $1.049 a liter in Whitehorse Yukon Territory for those of you thinking about driving the Alaska Hiway. I bought tonight in Vancouver B. C. Canada for 93.5 a liter.

    BP station near work is up to $1.95. It's always been high, being right off a highway exit, but it's only 8 cents higher than some stations on the main road near me. By next week, just before Memorial Day, I expect over $2.

    My summer gas budget is looking mean. Those 300+ mile joyrides I wanted to take are going to be doable, but they won't include the level of Burger King stops I wanted. I'll have to spend money on raw materials for sandwiches to take along so the gas I need still fits the budget. Not a thrill, but doable...

    We're still in the 1.85-1.89 range here in DFW. I always take a road trip in June to see the oldbaldcubans in Orlando. Wife's Xterra hovers around 20mpg highway during the trip, I better hit some slots along the way.

    Euro 1.30 per litre, and rising.

    No idea what that equates to in the USA.

    With apologies (sort of) to all the SUV drivers out there, it looks as though gas is liable to be at $3/gal by the time I have enough room in my Prius' gas tank to put some more in.

    I'll bet we hit $3.00/gal for 87 octane in the LA or SF Bay Area before the end of July
