gas prices in your area?

[wombat2u2004]

Here in Armidale today.........
$1.48 per litre.

1litre = 0.2642 US gal.
1 US Gallon = 3.785 litres
3.785 litres X $1.48 = $5.60

Convert $5.60 AUS into $US = $5.95 US

Sheesh.....and you are all whinging about the price being between $3 and $4 ?
We are paying nearly double here downunder.

Thanks Helene. I needed that.
A compliment from a Texan is what we Aussies regard as a windfall.
We here downunder believe that one day we will have something bigger and better than you all have there in Texas.
Ohhh....time to go feed the pet mice.........

Are your high prices due to taxes or higher profits for the companies?

What ??? You think the honest oil companies and the great goverment we have here has something to do with the cost ????
That's utterly ridiculous !!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooo.

When my friends point out how high are gas is, I point out that people in other countries pay way more than we do. A lot of that higher cost has to do with taxes. I was really asking how much is economics, such as availability, versus taxes.

FYI, my home state has higher gas taxes and taxes in general than the state where I work and reside. As a result, the roads are in better condition, and the state can offer more services.

My state of residence, SC, tried to secede from the Union once before and there are several "old families" in this state that would do it again in a heartbeat. Our taxes are lower, but the services are lacking. And the infrastructure is failing.

I don't want to part with any more of my money than I have to, but it would be nice to drive down the state and local roads and not hit potholes.

Hmmmm, I suppose it's the same here.
I think tho that it all comes down to simple political economics.
"The more we can scrape out of them, the more potholes we can fix"

So, it's $3.35 this weekend.

Glad I'm not an Aussie .

$3.45 here. Though I saw it somewhere on the other side of town for like $3.36. Oh well, I'll be paying $3.45 when I go fill up Buttercup shortly .
