HOW HIGH IS DIESEL IN EUROPE

[redneckford]

Given the same cost of raw materials, much lower shipping costs, and still make the same profit much less make more profit by shipping it to Europe.

WHO do you think sets the price of oil at Citgo Bush or Chavez, I know for a fact they are refining alot of Diesel in LC and sending it to Europe----"thinking" maybe they are lieing and just turning the ship around and sending all that Diesel to PA!!!!

The reason fuel is so expensive in Europe and elsewhere, is because it is much more heavily taxed. It is used to subsidize public transportation, among other things. The cost of petroleum, before the add-ons (like tax) is comparable to here or anywhere else.

Right on the money Ductape. Products derived from oil are the same cost everywhere adjusted for exchange rates -- the real difference in end user price is due to taxes (Europe for example) or subsidies (like Venezuela where diesel is around 20 cents a liter).

It's hardly news that Chavez, along with other nations, subsidizes the cost of fuel. Nor is it news that Chavez doesn't sell to the US. Big deal. It's moronic to think people in Europe would pay Chavez more than the world price of oil.

Just because people don't believe in black helicopters and conspiracy theories doesn't make them cheerleaders.

Conspiracy no--- truth yea!!! They are refining oil in Lake Charles Louisiana and sending it to Europe to drive up the supply (refining) shortage in the US. No conspiracy just FACTS!!!

Now about the price of a 5 gallon pail of UTF in Europe!!!! Someone over there please reply so Mike can go watch those planes fly!!!

 

[MikePA]

Yep, the price of UTF in Europe is the proof I need. There are things higher than the price of diesel in Europe.

I was in Finland, Norway and Sweden the first part of June. Diesel in Finland was $9.12/gallon. In Norway and Sweden it was very close to $10.00/gallon. At the time the exchange rate was $1.54/Euro.

I think last time i payd 1.47 per liter.... According to Google conversion, thats about 8 dollar and 21 cts per gallon.
At the premium locations (along highways) you can pay 5 to 7 cent per liter more...

I dont know exactly what the price is... i rather dont know, to save myself the aggrevation...

Some gas stations used pamphlets with the text "70% of what you pay for your fuel, goes to our government. dont blame us !"
