Here it fluctuates between 0.65 and 0.85 CAD per litre. 0.65 CAD = 0.50 U.S.

its almost 2 $US here but when gas season comes it will lower to .85 and stuff around that. mrmojo don't you live around a region that is high in gas prices all the time since public transportation is highly used and so is your own transportation (legs) and most cars are high on mpg or am I just wrong?

A liter of 96 octane runs PHP27.17 or about US$0.49. I went on a fuel run 14 hrs ago before the local station jacked up prices at midnight.

I would be smiling also, if I could fill my tank with 20 euros, when it usually takes 50 euros. Would American people pay 4.5 per a gallon? |
Why would we need to?

I'm not saying you need to pay, but would you pay, if that would be the price? Or would there be whole lotta riots in the streets? |
Gasoline prices are not fixed by the government in the USA - they are determined by local gas stations based on their cost.

I was being sarcastic. The USA did not go to war to aquire oil from Iraq.
The USA imports 60% of its oil usage.
11% of this comes from the Middle East - the rest comes from Venezuela, Mexico and Canada (and a few other small suppliers)
These are the facts.
China and Iindia are using up more oil from the Middle East - blame them and OPEC for your oil price woes..

Americas gas is mostly cheap because we have the biggest community of vehicles in the world. Plus when we go some where its not to go like 5 blocks down the road we have to go about 1-50 miles depending on how far you live from work and same for getting to malls or downtown. I live in a suburb of my city so If I were to get a job downtown I would probably have to drive 50 miles or more.
About the oil prices in the U.S. the gas companies under geussed the amount of gas consumed for this year and must charge more since they are getting very low but when gas season comes were getting a brand new shipment of gas and prices will be lowered alot.
