To all of you saying prices are high, I laugh at you. Here in Serres, Greece, BP had gas for 1.799 EUR/litre. Others 1.629 EUR/litre. Thats for last month.
As of today, most gas stations reduced their prices. Where I put gas from, Shell, has it for 1.525 EUR/litre atm, while BP stays high at 1.699.
I dont really understand why such difference, but BP has still some loyal customers. Strange.

Do you have any idea what portion of that 1.525 EUR/litre = taxes ?

Actually, I just asked a gas station clerk how much profit there is for them. And its 8 cents per litre! Imagine that.

That is actually pretty high too. Some stations run off of a lot less profit per gallon.

The world over the majority of the price for gas is taxes. Really pathetic. Without taxes gas would be what it is in Saudi Arabia.
