How much does gasoline cost in your country?

Tweet

There are already a few discussions available about how much gas costs in your area but it seems that most responders are from here in the U.S. Feel free to respond to this one if you're from the U.S. but I am very interested in international prices. The other day I had to pay $3.85/gallon and it cost me over $60 to fill my tank. With the continued rise in oil prices, I wouldn't be surprised if we see $5/gallon within the next 12-18 months. While this would have a major affect on our budget, some people in other countries pay significantly higher prices, believe it or not. In fact, the last time I was in London, gas prices were around 1 pound / liter. If you do the math, this comes out to about $7.50 / gallon! After doing some addition research, I found out that a very large percent of that cost for consumers in the U.K. has to do with a high gasoline tax from the government. So, can anyone confirm what the current cost for gas is in the U.K. and what percent of that cost is tax? Paying $7.50 to $8/gallon sounds crazy to me. Does that high cost of gas encourage conversation and a higher rate of ride sharing?
