We also have UK petrol stations that sell "gas" (LPG) for cars to run on :D
I was out for a test drive in a new Subaru Forester Diesel yesterday. Very interesting. Drives like a petrol powered car, handles like a Subaru, accelerates like a turbo Subaru, but does 40mpg ) :D
The dealership was offering £25 worth of fuel for our car, simply to take a test drive.
Well I enjoyed myself )
Gas under $3/gallon :) :) :)

I paid 0,98/ltr for 95benzin today and 1,01/ltr for diesel yesterday ... but it was as high as 1,48 for diesel in the late summer

Well, now $2/gal has arrived :D , I have seen $1.99 at a few local places, mostly the lower quality/cheap locations, the better stations still have it at $2.05 - $2.20. I can't imagine it will get much cheaper, I think it will get to somewhere between $1.80 - $2.00/gal before it levels off and eventually starts back up. It is hard to believe I was paying over $4.40/gal not that long ago.
If there is no skiing in Heaven, I am staying here....

Man you guys are lucky.
I saw petrol at 89.9p per litre today. Thats equals approx £3.40 per US Gallon.
And with the current exchange rate, thats $5.03 per US Gallon!!!!!!!!!
A month or 2 back it was up to £1.26 per litre. Thats $7.05 - almost double what you pay in the states!
Outrageous

At one stage in the summer I was paying over £1.50 a litre for diesel. Its down to about £1.06 now, but thats still a hell of a lot more than it was not so long ago.
Worse still, the Inland Revenue expenses were set when diesel was at about 70p a litre, and have not been altered since, so whilst people say how lucky you are to get 40p a litre on expenses, it certainly no longer covers what it was supposed to, ie fuel, depreciation of your own vehicle, maintenance, tyres, etc.
Good old Government, always taking never giving.

In MN, we are down to $1.65/ US gal, which is about 29p a litre. Maybe I'll drive out to Utah after all.
In normal times, that would have meant an end to the quest for more efficient vehicles. The recent high prices and the current recession have convinced most Americans that something has to change. So I think we'll still be moving toward Euro type vehicals here, though maybe a little slower than might have been.
