In NZ we are paying $1.99.9 per litre. Converting to $AUS we are paying about 5c per litre more than you. $120 odd dollars to fill the tank.

we have to pay for the war of terror, I mean it is the arabs that set the price and it is the arabs that are supplying the weapons and arms to the other side over there. So in effect we are fighting the US and Australian soldiers...........ect, one bullet =$1.60

Last summer, after gas 'just' broke the $1/L barrier, I put $120 in my Jeep ('93 Grand Cherokee). We sold it.

Now, with gas at $1.30/L, a tank's worth in the Saturn ('03 Vue) is about $65. At these prices, the Jeep would have cost nearly $160 ($168AUD)!!!

Well, it can be a gas...... when it's not in liquid petroleum form. I keep forgetting that elsewhere Gas is what we consider Propane. And Natural Gas (LNG) is similar.

Petrol is to Petroleum as Gas is to Gasoline. Same sh*t, different continent. Still way too expensive.

On that note, I have an '86 Chevy C10 LWB with a 383 Stroker running on Propane. It's clean and used to be cheap (I was paying 58c/L in Edmonton, but it's just as expensive as 'petrol' back here, and you burn more of it), but seriously robs you of power. Plus, it's a bitch to start, as it takes forever for the system to prime.
