I'm fuming. Here in France, with the barrel prices the same as they were in 2009, the price of the liter of gas is 0.30€ to 0.40€ higher in comparison. I can pay up to 100€ to fill the 70L (about 18.5 gallons) tank full with diesel, from empty.
I think we are getting fucked over somewhere, and it's not taxes only (despite being royally fucked by taxes already). /rant
Indeed. It doesn't help that we don't produce our own crude (because we don't have any) but that high?
It's my pet-conspiracy-theory that the government, ruling that 80kph (~50MPH) shall be the new maximum authorized speed on national roads compared to 90kph (~56MPH), saw that law-abiding citizens would respect the new limit, that fuel economy would be improved as a result, leading to less gas sale, and added more taxes to make up for the loss.

Thats a brutal price.
I buy diesel in bulk around $450 per 1175 Liters. We buy about 650 Metric Tons at a time.
