$3.85 at the most expensive place in the nearest real "town" (more a village). I spoke to one of the owners last week, asked him if he thought we'd see $5/gal soon. He definitely thought so. Said it cost him $70,000 to fill up his tanks and that he couldn't really afford it so he only got partial fill ups, which is why his gas is more expensive. Noticed that they've been closed at least 2 or 3 times during the middle of the day the last few weeks. Wouldn't be surprised to see them close up for good, which sucks for me as that's the closest, cheapest place for propane.

I'm using the US liquid gallon , legally defined as 231 cubic inches,equal to exactly 3.785411784 litres
inner Sydney this morning , I filled up at 5.6 US$ per gallon
there has been little change over the month
4$ a gallon is a dream price

And to think here in Australia we have a better economy than the US, we have a dollar above parity, we have lower government deficits, and yet we are paying about 70% more for our petrol. Hardly seems worth the effort.
ever fancied about paying $20 000 for a hernia surgery, or $150 000 for some useless college degree? Let me guess, neither did Sparky

In Perth yesterday i paid $1.42/L for regular unleaded.
With the AUD and USD basically at parity and a US Gallon = 3.78L that is about US$5.48/Gal.
LPG is about 1/2 that.

Ive paid for my education , it was moderate and tax deductible
as for health care , I've got my supplementary assurance on top of the free basic
it's partially tax deductible
of course Australia make a bundle supplying China with mountains of minerals
including mountains of coal ( 1st exporter in the world )
and we have no army to speak of

I was disgusted yesterday when it cost over $6 ($6.05) to fill my scooter yesterday for the first time. Luckely I only live 20 kilometers from work so I ride my pushbike everyday except friday's (Scooter Day) when I have way to many guinesses at lunch to ride my pushbike. At least a tank lasts a month so that isnt to bad I guess
There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope.

€1.30 a litre in the Irish Midlands, up from its lowest last spring of €1.09/l
I have noticed a creep up price over recent weeks, I expect that trend to continue now the non OPEC countries have agreed to quotas.

$2.69 a gallon. We have one of the higher gas taxes, which surprisingly is fine by me.
