Is gas really nicely priced over there? :}

Some day I'd like a better explanation of why it's $1.60ish in much of Asia. No wonder there's a lot of demand there....

Nah, that Australian figure is bogus, as are the European figures. Last week when I looked, the price in Sydney was USD$5-6/gal, and it was about $8/gal in London.

Curious, indeed. Is it a matter of government subsidy, or are oil producers in Asia forced to sell their product inside the country of origin? Given the choice, I'm sure that the oil companies would rather sell it in the US or Europe for $3/gallon, rather than $1.50ish.

Okay... I click on the nation column to sort by nation. First time it fails, second time a whole bunch of countries vanish. Somethin's not quite right with that page. ;)

Sorry, that's a rubbish figure.

US$ is pretty close to AU$ right now, and Petrol is ~ $1.50 litre.

~4 litres in a gallon, from what I remember.. so that makes the price about $6 ish.

It is a bit bogus, I don't think it takes into account government taxes or charges on it.
