...The usage and pricing of gasoline results from factors such as crude oil prices, processing and distribution costs, local demand, the strength of local currencies, local taxation, and the availability of local sources of gasoline (supply). Since fuels are traded worldwide the trade prices are similar, the price paid by consumers largely reflects national pricing policy: some regions, such as Europe and Japan, impose high taxes on gasoline; others, such as Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, subsidise the cost.Western countries have among the highest usage rates of gasoline per person. The largest consumer of gasoline is the United States, which used an average of 386 million US gallons (1.46 gigalitres) of gasoline each day in 2005. Read full entry

I am afraid that very rarely does the price of what goes up, come down. Once they have got it they tend to keep it. Your best course of action would be to go to Uswitch, and change suppliers. That seems to be only way to make them take notice. Thats what worries me about the talk of charging for dustbin collections, they say our council tax will go down. I dont believe them!!!! |

Sorry but high gas prices are here to stay until such a time exists that demand significantly decreases due to other options. The US produces about 3% of the oil on the market and we use about 25% of what is consumed worldwide. Today, China and India have a growing demand for cars and gas. Gas prices are about $9 a gallon in Europe so we really don't have much room to complain. Both McCain and Obama will have their work cut out for them. Drilling off-shore will have no effect on gas prices for a long, long time other than some sort of immediate feel good sensation that our leaders are doing something. It will take 10 years before off-shore drilling will yield a drop. The best solution is for you and I to reduce our individual consumption and then support policies through your voting habits that fund alternative energy, conservation and sustainable living. The way I do that is to consolidate my car trips and my husband and I ride our bicycles to work. We thought about mileage when we purchased our vehicle 2 years ago, knowing that gas prices would go up (how could you not know???? I've known since I the oil embargo of 1973 and I was only 11!!!!) We live in the mountain southwest where it snows heavily in winter so we need an SUV and got a Honda Element, which is very fuel efficient. We voted to increase our sales tax locally to expand city bus service. The initiative passed and we hope to take the bus to work by next summer. The bottom line is that American lifestyles are going to have to change. Some people might tell you that such changes will set us down the road to a socialist way of life similar to Europe. Well I have traveled in Europe extensively and I don't see them complaining about riding bicycles on municipally maintained bike paths and lanes or using public transit, which is fantastic. My travels suggest to me that middle class Europeans manage pretty well, despite having to pay $9 a gallon and use buses and trains to get to work and school. This is not outrageous, this is the real world. |

US Gas Prices Are Still Cheap Fuel subsidies are common in oil-rich countries. Venezuela, which has vast oil reserves, maintains a price of Bs.F 0.097 per litre (around US$0.05), and has done so since 1998. Other countries with subsidised fuel include Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Burma, Malaysia, Kuwait, India, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Trinidad and Tobago, Brunei and Nigeria. The Australian state of Queensland also subsidises fuel at the rate of A$0.08354 per litre Gasoline prices are low in the United States when compared with most other Western countries. In June of 2008, gasoline prices in the United States were US$1.06/litre (US$4.00 per US gallon). Belgium (Brussels) US$/gal $8.44 Denmark US$/gal $9.31 Italy US$/gal $8.78 Hong Kong US$/gal $8.33 Netherlands US$/gal 9.73 Kuwait US$/gal 0.79 The cheapest.? Venezuela US$/gal 0.19 |
