The cost of diseal fuel is just another .50 to .75 cents. If gas prices continue to rise which they will, people will have to make changes in their daily routine. No more extra trips to the mall or grocery store. Heck, I even stop going to the gym after work because it's not on my way back home. I recently read bicycle stores are seeing and influx of sales along with scooters, and car-pooling. Lifestyles are changing because of this. I wonder how far it will go.</p> Over in the south we are paying $4.25 for regular unleaded. The cost of diseal fuel is just another .50 to .75 cents.

The only way to beat high gas prices is by using less. If you can't afford to buy a new car there are alot of things that you can do to any vehicle to improve fuel economy by as much as 25% . It should be noted that china will be consuming a great deal more of the worlds oil as it's "middle class" begins to buy vehicles.</p> $3.21 at he cheap place in San Francisco.

With oil prices skyrocketing, not many poor nation can keep this subsidy for long….

Report from this time last year says that 60% of the price is tax. http://money.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=14647

I guess China has a lower tax on petrol (if any), but I think also the Yuan doesn’t ‘float’ against other currencies, so the exchange rate is distorted.

When the price is 10.97 NOK/liter, 7 NOK is some sort of tax (“gas tax”, “CO2 tax” and v.a.t.).

1 US Gallon = 3.791 liters 1 $ = 6.24 NOK (today)
