Thread Name: BS: Why is gasoline so expensive?
Subject: RE: BS: Why is gasoline so expensive?
1.07 EUR per liter ==> 4.05 EUR per Gallon.
Exchange rate as of today: 1 EUR = 1.21769 USD

==> 6.00 USD per Gallon.

Now what was the prize you complained about? 3.00 USD? Ridiculous!
You should live in a country where the stuff IS expensive.


Reason for the high prizes here: most of it is taxes (mineral oil tax, value added tax, ...)


I am so glad I do not need a car here in Munich, Germany...
