Think you pay a lot for gas?

Gas price in Norway april 2006?

12 Nkr per litre now?..

An American gallon is about 4,5 litre and 1 $ is about 6 Nkr?which means 12x4,5?= 54 Nkr per gallon?54/6 = 9 usd per gallon?.!!

And you guys complain to pay about 3 USD per gallon..??

still think I am stupid..??

You are very kind? thank you... to tell you the truth this stiff doesn't need any logics.. Only facts and numbers..

Numbers never lie and doesn't need any proof? ask any Virgo.. you'll know that in less than a seconds?

If the world was a ball of oil there is only enough to last 365 years at the consumption rate of 1970. The earth is nickel and iron ore

"Numbers never lie and doesn't need any proof"

Hehe...tell that to the stockholders of Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, etc, etc.

BTW, my training is in accounting and auditing. How do you want the numbers to look? Accountants can, unfortunately, make the magic happen.

Sigh?

Like I said? numbers never lie? but people do..!

you go to a pub you buy a few pints, I am telling you . the cost of ass is a lot higher than gas.

Qbone...Yes, that was my thought after I wrote my message as well. So true.

Yo Vanessa126

we all know that in Europe cars are not as much of a necessity as they are in US.

Here in Europe cars are as important as US.

Now what seems to be a problem with those rates..? 1 Nkr is not important lets talk about 10+ Nkr.

When you can buy One litter Milk at the price of one litre Gas, is that clear enough..??

Yeah I know the prices in UK too, just wanted to say, 3 $ per gallon is not expensive as the whole US nation gone mad by this price jump for a lousy 50 cents.

Move to Venezuela and pay 12cents per litre, that?s fair and cheap rate.
🙂

The excuses for high prices of petroleum products in Norway are for the protections of environments and nature, where it is absolutely nonsense.

Humans may control the (imaginary borders of their own countries) and stop other humans to move freely in their regions, but the air and waters not knowing any borders.

So why in the god name US citizens with those bulky gas hungry cars shouldn?t follow and respect the international environmental protections programs like the rest of the western hemisphere..??

Like today I saw an article that UK also decided to stop cars older than 8 years? (same bullshits happened here 10 years ago here too.

Here the link, if you don?t believe me?

And this also affecting the daily goods prices that we use, the higher the price of transport the higher the price of goods.

Quite frankly, Qbone, I agree with your premise here. Americans (yes, I am one, proudly) are really freaking whiiinnny about gas prices.

"Oh I've got it, let's boycott Exxon and bring gas prices back to the good ol days." Get a life. "It's an oil company conspiracy!" Umm, let's see, I've worked with the oil business, and I've seen what happens when oil prices go up. THEY START DRILLING LIKE MADMEN. At least that is what's happening in my area (midwest). They want more money, so they drill more oil, faster. This is how business, and economics in general, works. Higher prices have attracted more people willing to supply the good. Alternatives (ethanol especially) are also becoming very big in the area.

Like I say, you either understand economics, or you're a democrat.

Americans do not have a rail system or bus system like we have . you can go anywhere in the U.K. buy rail or bus or walk they can't. I know I lived there.

Hey JT?
I am supposed to "criticize Americans"? not you...!!
😉

My bad? hope for forgiveness?

Americans = pilgrims..

I love "broken inglish style s...lol

Dear Vanessa126?

In reality.. Public transportations are much more expensive than private transportations in Europe.

Nevertheless, my point was to express the gas prices and the way "we pay " without "complaining".

Say.. I move many time between Sweden and Norway at least 5 times a months 5 years ago it cost me 3000 Nkr..

Now its about double around something like 900 $ .... transportation is as important as US, and like I said it add to the price be it goods or service..

And about local transportations like bus and train..

Moving around the city and area.. from 0 to 20 km is about 23 Nkr..up to 50 km is about 40 nkr and so on..

Same goes for train as well (train system in Norway is all electrical).. and Norway is famous to export both oil and electricity.

Example of the prices..

Using own transportation (unlimited) for 1600 km cost 1200 nkr
Using public transportations (limited) for the same is about 2800 Nkr..

Where is the logic..??

No body knows..

But nobody complains either.. and assume thats the way it is..

Have you ever paid 1 USD for a local stamps (usual letter)..??

Today price..

1USD=6,17 Nkr

If i buy it?

If I sell it (exchange it).. is about 5,28 Nkr..

Laughable..

Where" ?" is stable..

Man you can ramble on and on,Q not to worry Rover made a great many redundent now vaxhall will do the same here. soon everone else will own our auto industrie and we will al walk and bike about.

Lmao JT..

True that.. I already start it 3 years ago.. biking and walking..

walking and metro is just fine with me. Apart form saving on gas I get to keep up with my favourite hobby which is a big help for me professionally- Observing people.

OOOOHHHHHHHH a people watcher I lov that also it is one of my altime fav things to do.
