I want to know why Australia isn't on there!

You are for consumption but not price. Good question.
Not hard to figure out though.

It's not hard to figure out why we're not on the price table?

What's the answer then? I can't understand why we'd be on the consumption but not the price table other than that the information wasn't available.

I'd guess they picked a fairly even spread to make a nice graph and you're too close to one of the numbers already up there.
Face it, you're redundant.
Aliantha • Jul 14, 2007 7:53 pm
apparently so. How sad.

Just so you all know, we'd fall somewhere between south africa and japan.

It's those damn Californians. (2004)

I think this was the chart the first graphic was made from.

I get tired of hearing: but they pay so much more in other countries. Well, I'm not in another country, I'm in the US, and I expect more from my government.

We just got so damned spoiled on cheap fuel all those years. Looking back now, it seems ridiculous that the price of gas didn't rise a whole lot between 1983 and 1999. I remember paying $1.26 a gallon for premium in 1992, and $0.99 for it in 1999. And at one point in the mid-80s, regular leaded (just before they got rid of it) was as cheap as $0.59, while unleaded was $0.71.

Isn't our price relatively low because we get a volume discount?

Do you have refineries?

I agree. They need to lower the price. It cost me over $75 to fill up this week. Price is creaping back up. At this rate it will cost over $400 to fill the boat. Somebody is getting rich off this and it ain't me.:yelgreedy

It would cost us about $6.50 per gallon US at todays prices over here.

You lot have nothing to complain about.

Maybe it's because you buy it in bulk that you get your gas so cheap.

I tend to agree with sycamore from an outsiders perspective, you guys had it too good for too long..welcome to the real world with the rest of us :)

It costs me $100 per week to fill my day to day car and $103 every couple of weeks to fill up the Dog (red car)

Australian dollars, yes?

Nice chart, but so what? I don't give a damn what the rest of the world is paying for a gallon of gas. Just because some dumbass in Turkey is forking over $12/gallon doesn't mean that I need to.
elSicomoro • Jul 17, 2007 2:46 pm
Quit driving that damned Sable then, shithead! :)

Nope, that'd be in US dollars Bruce (if you were referring to my post)

Yes I was, thanks.
