Fuel Prices

[Rad Hatter]

Just filled my car with 70 litres (18.5 gallons) of regular fuel.

currency Ltr per/unit = Total to fill tank from empty

in HK$ 70 x 13.48 = 943.60 HK$

in US$ 70 x 1.72 = 120.90 US$

in UKst 70 x 0.91 = 63.70 UKSterling


I'll get around 300 kms from the tank so HK$ 3.00 per km
or USA 38 cents, 20 HKpence per km
Curious to know :
How much is fuel where you live in the USA< Scandinavia< UK ?
Cheers

WOW -- Here its US$ 6.50 /gal

For 20 bucks I'd only get 3 galls
you got 6.07 galls

Half of the price here is TAX

True, but an imperial gallon is a little larger than a US gallon.

Also, I think something is wrong if you're only getting 300 Km per tankful. I get 350-400 miles from a tankful with my '87...

Hong Kong is Very Hilly (like San Fransisco) and lots of traffic in the city.
Hence the lower mpg

City traffic here>>

In BC (Canada) $1.25/L for 91 octane, works out to $1.12 US/L, or roughly $4.40 US per US (4L) gallon. So 70 L here would be about $78 US. A deal compared to Hong Kong prices.
Aahhh, the wide open roads of downtown HK in the spring. Can you get out of 1st gear?

[Rad Hatter]

Few more

Hopefully you are making up for the high gas prices with the abundance of beautiful ladies to be found there.

Nonetheless, I would still say that 300 Km = 195 mi. is way less than you should be seeing on a tankful of gas, no matter how hilly or how much traffic.

Converted to dollars - I pay $7.71 for regular unleaded in Scotland just now.

[slodave]

$3.59 91 octane at the local Shell.

About $3.50-3.60 a gallon here in and around Los Angeles.

Rat, I can't never get tire of looking out onto Central and the bay from the Victoria Peak. Must be a fun drive up there in the 911. By the Way, Do you know if that little, well maybe not so little, restaurant next to the tram station / mall still there?

Approx. $1.8 / Liter in Sweden.

No probs - money is no object.

About the same same here in finland. Thats 6.4$/gallon

[yellowline]

$3.03 for regular in the Volvo (740 16v). When the Porsche is down, there is definitely a substitute.

Usually cost me over $100 to fuel up my pickup (diesel). That hurts. Diesel is around $3.50 & gasoline is more than that in the S.D. area. We're so lucky because we almost always enjoy the highest prices in the country. I'd really feel bad if I had to pay the prices some of you guys in Europe & the orient do.

[speeder]

My truck is a regular cab w/ the 38 gallon tank so to fill it from empty would be ~$130 @ 3.50 diesel. It would have been $50.00 when the truck was new in 1999.

The fact that I can make fuel in my garage is a consolation, though.
