I'm seeing your guys gas is more than our by a lot according to one poster. And I know that a lot of Canadians (remember I live very close to the border) come down here and get gas before returning home.

Are gas prices such a big issue with you guys? And why do you pay so much more?

Melsb - I don't know anything about Canadian gas prices since I live down South but I see that you are online and I am begging you to answer my hot tea post a few down!!! I need help finding a present for my MIL quickly!

Why do we pay more? I'm not sure but I also know that in Europe it's about double.

Average price in Britain $6.48 a US Gallon!

Gasoline Price Hits $7 a Gallon in England

Most countries except for the middle east who have their own oil supply pay much more than the US for gas. That's one of the reasons I always think it's so ironic when people start complaining about how gas prices have gone up.

So how much is it per gallon in Canada?

$4.16 per gallon in my area today. ($1.10 per litre)

$4.50 per gallon in Newfoundland

$4.30 in British Columbia

Gaz is more expensive in Canada because the price includes different taxes.

That's a good point. Do Americans pay tax on top of the listed rate? Our taxes are included in the listed price.

You know, I complain because everything is higher but I know in Costa Rica, where the average income is lower than the U.S. obvisiouly, that gas is (or at least use to be) a lot higher than here. Anyway, I was just curious.

It got me thinking so I did some online research on gas prices today in different countries.

These are all listed in US gallons at US dollar rates.

Singapore $4.76
New Zealand $4.91
India $4.92
France $6.45
Germany $8.02

The price per gallon does already include the tax on it.
