    Getting expensive!

    The local paper carried a report today that a filling station in town is charging 1.48.9 per litre for premium grade petrol, and claims it's the highest price in the country. For standard grade, prices around here are between 1.16 and 1.20 per litre.

    Wow, 1.20 to 1.49 per litre? That sounds expensive. We pay ~ 1, which is still a lot, I think. That's probably why I don't have a car.

    I believe Venezula is still the cheapest place for petrol. Last time I looked it was 10 pence a litre. Apparently it is subsidised by the goverment.

    That is high, Mike ... it was running about 1.19 - 1.22 all around London and in the Liverpool area when we were there in late August.

    Petrol prices are rising in the US, too ... my last fueling was at $2.79.9/gallon.

    That is a ridiculous price to pay for petrol. It is bad enough at other places.

    Today it was at $1.14 a litre here in Montreal. Sometimes I'll fill up when I visit my sister in Ontario, as it's usually a few cents cheaper per litre there.

    In Moscow one litre of premium costs you @27 rubles = just under one dollar.
