I don't get it if your tax is only 70% then the price should be around 4.00 us a gallon but its actually around 7.3 us a gallon. And since you are closer to the middle east it should be even cheaper. Why the extra 2.3 us dollars? There must be a hidden tax or something. You are getting hosed.

AFAIK the fuel in Europe is refines much better than here. This would drive the capital costs above ours here in NA.

Again, I don't want to talk about your women.
When are you addressing said boxes?

@Schnitz: True, I can only feed my car 95Ron. According to the manual I shouldn't throw anything lower than 95 in it anyway

Asia

I made a new post to compare European vs US gasoline

Can you post your picture of the gas pump in it?

Thanks
