Hi

Table of international fuel prices:-

Only countries more expensive than the UK are Norway and Turkey.

All the best

I don't know whether it's a dynamic update, but at the moment Argentina (1.30), Austria (1.25), Belgium (1.43), Czech Republic (1.24), Denmark (1.40), Faroe Isles (1.34), Finland (1.47), France (1.40), Hungary (1.29), Ireland (1.20), Norway (1.65), Poland (1.28), Portugal (1.480, Puerto Rico (1.41), Serbia & Mont (1.34), Seychelles (1.36), Slovakia (1.16), Slovenia (1.15), South Korea (1.16), Sweden (1.31), Switzerland (1.17), Turkey (1.59) are all more expensive than the UK's apparent 1.15

If these are Euro prices then they're wrong because fuel our way is £1.15/L not €1.15/L

Another thing to consider (as I've pointed out before) the general taxation in European countries is higher than in the UK with many countries (Benelux, France, Scandanavia) hitting 40-50%.

My apologies I should have been more specific, by general taxation I meant Income Tax, however VAT is also lower here.

At least Scandinavia seem to benefit from the high taxation.

Scandinavia is so much cleaner and pleasant on the eye in general in the town centres (if you've been to Scandinavia, you'll see the difference between your average British street and Scandinavian street) and taxes don't seem to be going to good use in general.

Where is our money going?

And then it's also the thing where the government go on about it being a 'green tax'. If they were so green, they would ban 4x4s from city centres etc, but no, its just another way of raising some revenue.

Or for example, I wouldn't mind paying high fuel prices if we had an alternative. The government is spending NOTHING on high speed rail for the future, or improving public services at all.

Our railways are a joke.

I agree and the irony is, those countries with higher taxes are investing more in their social services, and public transport which means people don't have to buy fuel at those high prices. But, it's a bigger issue than just that, and though I'm grateful to keith for posting the link I do think we have to maintain our perspective.

Can you import petrol? Buy loads of barrels of Petrol from Algeria for 22 cents and ship it to England and shove it in your back garden for easy filling up

Maybe bury some incase supply runs out. You could make a mint then by selling it.

Right Keith, thanks for the clarification so apart from: Afghanistan, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, and Turkey, and the ones pretty close to us: Belgium (1.43), Denmark (1.43), France (1.42), Guadeloupe (1.42), Italy (1.44), Reunion (1.44) we pay the most for our 95 octane unleaded fuel.

How the f**k do Afghanistan pay more for fuel?! How can they afford to drive around because last time I checked, they weren't exactly earning thousands on average!

I have just come back from touring europe this week doing, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy France, Belguim etc......

I found the prices there to average e1.50 per litre, this works out more expensive than our are present currency rates, so i dont know where they got the information, would loved to have got it at these prices.

Urgh I semi expected this , that due to the UK£ tanking (lost 25% in the last 8 months) this tour is going to be expensive, better add yet another 25% to the fuel budget then
