Where do you buy your fuel? Last week, I paid the most I've ever paid

Taurus holds 66 L.

For me, a 66L tank would cost... about $135 CND to fill. I haven't
driven my car in over a month now cuz I can't afford to keep filling
the tank!! And the prices just keep going up :-(

I just wonder what will happen when people cannot afford to go to
work? We always think of the doctors and nurses, teachers etc as
essential workers. But what about the lower paid shop assistants? If
they can't afford to get to work then how does everybody else buy
essential goods like food? This is a worldwide phenomenon.

Hello,

Oh yes, it's a worldwide phenomenon. In France, the cheapest I can find
is 132 €,
that is about : 150US$ in order to fill my 80L Peugeot 406 tank. Gas is
cheap in
north america !! and it can be as expensive as 168US$ !!

In Germany it is also Euro 1,50 - 1,60 pro litre. 80 % of it is Tax
though. How much Tax is on the gas in the USA? My next motor vehicle
will be a Toyota Prius http://www.toyota.com/prius/, a hybrd. They sell
here for Euro 27.000 (lists for $21,728 in the USA - is it a lot for a
vehicle there?). Consumption is around 5 l/100 km (48 miles/gal or 20
km/l ideal = 35 m/g or 15 km/l real life city driving).
