Here on the East coast we're paying $2.13 per gallon for regular and abour $2.30 or so for Premium.  

well im payin about 0.99 a litre, the way i look at it is cuz the tanks so small even if it were 0.10 cents cheeper it still really wouldnt make a difference, but if it was half the price then it would :-/

really shocked & sorry to learn of the price of fuel in Holland - and you haven't got any hills to climb either have you

Yeah, thanks, rub it in

But I see New Zealand is even worse   ( although I guess they have better offroadconditions )

At $1 = PhP56 regular gas costs around PhP31. We've got Regular, Diesel and Unleaded. Unleaded costs around PhP30...

here is vancouver bc reg is $1.02 a litre

I'm about 2.27/Gal here in Buffalo, NY.  But, I do have an indian reservation down the road where it's about 2 bucks.  It's not bad compared to some of your horror stories, but I still find it rediculous that the oil companies are now admitting to national news organizations that everytime the price of oil drops they leave the price up to pad profits.  I know that some say that gas is still cheap compared to inflation and interest rates blah blah blah, but it makes me wonder what the per gal. price could be if they weren't profit mongering.  It was 99 cents a gal for the first summer I was driving (about '98 or '99)  I wish it was equivalent now, but they got us.  Make it 2.75/gal, threaten to make it 3 bucks and we kiss their feet for 2.50/gal, forgetting it was a buck only a couple years ago!

Thanks CJ
 
    That really puts it into perspective doesn't it.

Well well look at that.  Most countries on this table,  make way more money on gas than the "big bad oil companies" , (with the gas tax). Just who is doing the gouging here?

Yeah, I see the tax component.  Notice the low fraction on the U.S..  It seems as though, as dependant on fuel as the U.S. and Canada are, if the government dare tax as much as European and Asian countries,  society would be impacted in a major way.  Maybe that's why some(like myself) feel that the blue area of the bar is the problem.  If I lived in Norway, my opinion may be different.
