In reply to Ok, Gas Prices are going to passed 3.00$, posted by rjlockhart98 on August 16, 2005, at 19:43:49
OK, been doing some calculations..
UK Gas (petrol) works out (using the price at the petrol station near my flat this morning) at $6.43 per gallon.
So I investigated a little further.. We pay 48.52 pence per litre in fuel tax.. that works out at $3.31 per US Gallon - so we pay MORE tax per gallon, than people in the US pay for their gas full stop!
Then we pay 17.5% VAT (Value Added Tax) on top of everything..
*shakes head*
I'm gonna need another mortgage just to run a car soon!!
