RODALCO will become famous soon enough
Exclamation How much do you pay for gas at the pump !

I was curious what the fuel prices were in different parts of the world.

Because this is such a large forum spread over different countries we could see how much we get ripped off in our or other countries.
The bulk is tax anyway and local levies etc.

To compare it would be good to also convert the price per litre or gallon to US dollars as well.

OK, in Auckland, New Zealand we have 5 major players, Shell, BP, Mobil, Caltex and Gull.
Then 2 smaller players are GAS (BP) and Challenge (Caltex) trading under different names.

Going rates today 24th April are:

NZ$ 1.49 diesel = US$ 1.19 litre.
NZ$ 1.83 for 91 octane = US$ 1.46 litre.
NZ$ 1.93 for 98 octane force10 = US$ 1.54 litre.

Prices can be up to NZ$ 1.56 diesel, NZ 1.88 (91) and NZ 1.98 (98).

BP is the worst offender and the first to put prices up, the others follow slowly within a couple of days, Gull keeps the competition going in Auckland and should get full support here hoorah !

Looking forward to other replies too

Regards from Raymond RODALCO

$.91 US per litre.

(Roughly $3.65 a gallon here. 87 octane.)

Raymond, do you really have 91 octane as your standard? We have 87 as our "regular", and 92 as our "premium". (R+M)/2 method.

Here in the UK the average is £1.10 per litre for unleaded petrol which equates to $2.20

Diesel is now at around £1.20 per litre which is $2.40 in US dollars

Thats around $8.33 per US gallon for regular unleaded or exactly £5 for a UK gallon

Cigarettes are now £5 a packet for the cheaper ones which is $10 usd

In Slovakia standard is 95 (equivalent to 90-91 US (R+M)/2), premium is 98, there is also a sub-standard 91 which is being phased out.

Default Natural Gas Convertion

(http://www.cngchat.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4954)


I don't know what the availability of Natural Gas is anywhere else but this looks very inviting right now. I'm thinking that buying the car used would be a better option than converting.

There have been various gas conversions in the UK over the years (and probably still are?) - main problems are it takes most of your boot (trunk) space, and only a very tiny number of places where you can refuel.
