About the same in SA. If you do the sums we pay about US$3.80/l too. Roughly
50% is taxes - milk the motorist.

That really confirms Australians are being ripped off by the major oil

litres (= 1 US gallon) would currently cost me A$5.12 = US$3.78. We were
paying A$1.45 per litre
when the price ofa barrel of oil was $150, now it's down to $50 and we're
still paying A$1.35.
And our Australian Consumer association says it's legit?

Presumably, as here, most of what you pay is tax and duty, so
relatively unaffected by changes on crude price.

Had to fill up my tank today & gas was $1.959/gallon.
The last time I found gas for under $2.00/gallon in North Carolina was
April 2009.
For that matter, there are certain places in Virginia & South Carolina
that I always look for cheap
gas when I'm traveling (because SC & VA have a lower gas tax & so, are
always cheaper), and April
2009 was the last time I found gas for less than $2.00/gallon there as
well.
