Looks like us europeans are getting stiffed again, we get all the latest technology behing most of asia and america and we get films later that a lot of the world.
must be because europe (especially Wales) is such a beautidull place to live.

Sydney is definatly not that expensive, its only around $1.50 Aus a ltr?

@Heath: The prices on the chart are for gallons and probably US gallons.

due to my own boredom i worked out the number from us gallons to litres australian

ok there are 3.785411784 litres in a us liquid gallon (according to wiki)
so

$3.57 divided by litres in a us liquid gallon =
0.99064519634305655767462470603436

$ 0.99064519634306 =

$ 1.18167880318168 AUD
(using XE.com)

so infact the chart says its cheaper than you think it is heath ..^____^ I think thats right anyway!

i then used the same to work out

that according to that london is (rounded up) about 88P a litre :) (gbp) which i believe is about right..well for england?

or $2.09445 AUD for you heath : P

I think it is save to say that I am the one who gets screwed the most on this one.

In the Netherlands, so I pay, on average around 1,59 Euro per Liter, so thats (thanks Ben & Google) 1,59x3,79x1,34 = 8,08
I dont see that one on the chart!!!

Note: I drive an 24 old car, still in excellent shape ,thus I have to add lead replacement which used to be in the gassoline, another 0,04x3,79x1,34 = 0,20

But hey, anything for the environment! (Oh no, All goes to big company's and the government)
