G'day there,
You are all lucky with such a low price for fuel, here in New Zealand we pay a lot more for fuel, like at the moment $1.85 NZ dollar per litre that is about....$7.00 per US gallon or $8.41 GB gallon for regular that includes roadtax orfor diesel, 1.05 NZ dollar per litre and that is about...$3.98 US gallon or $4.78 GB gallon, But...with a diesel car you have to pay roadtax on top of the fuel price and that is 6.2 cents per KM, that is 10 cents per mile, that is upto 3.5 tonne, any heavier then it spirals out of control and roadtax kms have to be bought in advance, if stopped by cops and are not upto date with the milage, the fines are very high, also to register a diesel car for the anual registration was also $140 dollars more than a petrol/gas car and that works out for a car not very economical anymore.
Ive had 5 diesel cars and for that reason i went back to a petrol/gas car.
Now you can say....oh that is only....GB pounds or.....US dollars but.....We earn here New Zealand dollars, so that makes no sense to us here cos for us its very expensive.
Have a nice day and Greetings,
Eddie.
