    It's approximately $1.30 per LITRE here.

    Although, it varies depending on the day of the week, sometimes going down to $1.18, then sometimes up to $1.25 ISH.

    It is about $1.01/litre here....we have regulated prices so the gas stations cannot charge more than a certain amount each week

    "All prices updated March, 2005."

    might be a little outdated as gas prices have gone up and down a lot since then. wow 12 cents in Venezuela.. i could fill up my tank for less than 2 bucks x_z

    I knew you'd say something about the date *facepalm* But I looked around and saw other articles where they still say venezuela and some middle east countries have gas as dirt cheap and the UK and such still have it the worst. So even if the prices are a little out dated, it still gives you a good idea of how the world prices match up.

    See this is the good part about living in Alberta. Almost most of the country's oil comes from us. We are going at about 94.5 cents per liter and we consider this a little on the expensive end. But not a days we are quite used to it. I remember it being around 40cents a liter back in those days.

    I'm from southern ontario. Gas here fluctuates from a .95/litre-1.03/litre. Not too bad, but I remember the days when 0.7/litre was bogusly expensive.

    Here in Europe they raised the prices too, though they're trying to keep them as low as they can. :tehe:
