The Price of Gas in the World.
The average retail price of a US gallon of gas is now $3.00 up nearly 70 cents from a year ago, according to a weekly U.S. Energy Department survey but Americans still enjoy some of the cheapest gasoline on the planet.
It is about:
- 4.00 (US) a gallon in Canada
- $4.50 a gallon in Japan
- $5.80 in France
- over $6 a gallon in most other major European countries.
- $6.73 a gallon in the Netherlands
US drivers pay about 64 euro cents a litre. The price in the UK is 1.40 euros a litre, and the average in the euro zone is 1.28 euros. (Euronews)
NOTE: to put things into perspective, just a couple of historical footnotes (here):

Gas Oddities in St Paul,
On Tuesday morning gas at the closest station was 2.96$. On the way home from work (6:00pm) it was 2.67$, The next morning it was back to 2.89$. needless to say I filled at 2.67$. Hmm.
