In the surge of hurricane Ike in Texas: $5 Gas Prices.
It seems absolutely horrible, for anyone who’s followed the gas price fluctuations in American news lately. But I wondered what that would be in Swedish terms: Not expressed as dollars/gallon, but in kr/liter.
It turns out, it comes to about 8,85 kr/l.
I cannot remember the last time we had those kinds of prices (80′s?). Currently, the Swedish gas price is about 13 kr/l, which would be about $7,35 per gallon. Of course, a large part of that is tax, but still.
I guess everything really is relative.

They would be more fine if they had same cars as we do. But they have ugly american cars that are both heavyweight and inefficient. And have auto-transmission. So they have themselves to blame :). That some part of them has Volvo, doesn’t make the situation much better. Sell them Toyota Aygo! :D
Unfortunately, I have a reasonably heavy car (Audi A6) with auto transmission. However, for it’s size, it is reasonably efficient. :)
I agree. Toyota makes good cars. However, I have issues with the Japanese, since the war… :(
