    Multiply by 3.8 and 1.18 to get dollars per us gallon.

    So 2 euro per liter is nearly 9 dollars a gallon at current conversion.

    There are two other statistics which are very interesting in relation to that (saw them yesterday, I’ll see if I can find them again).

    One is fuel price in relation to average salary
    The other one is how much % of the fuel is taxes

    Our Dutch government think this is fine. I still need to go to the office while I have a job I could easily do from home but my employer wants me there because “communications are better”. Meanwhile half the team is calling in from India. 

    The government says “this is for the employee together with the employer to decide, we are not going to interfere with that”. My boss is only paying 19 cent/km so he doesn’t give a shit that prices are higher so I’m fucked over here.

    When I was in Australia and New Zealand I was amazed how cheap the petrol was there (coming from The Netherlands)

  5. You should start the y-axis at 0 in a case like this.

    And it needs to be shown adjusted by purchasing power.

    I forgot to fill up my rental Pugeot 3008 the other day before returning it in Munich. It had 5/8ths of a tank when I dropped it off, so they had to put in ~20 liters, and with their surcharge that was 95 EUR.

  7. Just curious, what map platform do you use? The Russian one? It’s very unusual that the map represents Ukraine without Crimea and its eastern parts.

  8. what is the logic behind the richest countries having the highest prices? is that just all tax?
    If anything, you would expect the poor countries to be paying more..

    “Data is not complete”, if you want to do an EU statistical map at least include all of the EU countries, like Cyprus.

  10. Do other Europeans call it “Euro-super 95”? In Sweden it’s just “95” or “95 oktan”

    Now do adjusted for average wage corected for PPP. There’s a lot of taxes on fuel in the Netherlands. There’s also lot of wealth and a lot of social infrastructure. For those protesting the lack of compensation of the high prices I never hear where they think the missing taxes should come from if not from fuel.

    Taxing labour more, profit, capital? What. What is the alternative? There’s already a continued discount of 5,5 cents per litre that’s costing the state 1,7 billion €. So let’s discount back to around 2 euro per litre. That’s 6 times that amount. Raise taxes elsewhere with to cover that amount?

    80 cents of each litre goes to the state here in the Netherlands. And over the whole price of the litre they charge 21% VAT.

    You should check the new car prices as well. I think the Dutch might be quite high on that as well. Especially for let’s say….. a 911. ( a gt3 is 108.000 euro’s more in the netherlands than it is in Belgium)

    This data cannot be beautiful because it legalises illegal annexation of Crimea that is UKRAINE

  15. thecraftybee1981 on

    On the 6th of April, the average price for petrol in the UK was £1.54/€1.77, which would put it between Luxembourg and Estonian prices.

    If you think the Netherlands is expensive:

    We make, on average, 4 times as much as bulgarians.

  17. CutieBunnyApple_ on

    Wow, so the Netherlands and Belgium are WAY more expensive for gas than like, Malta? Thats wild, lol. Def gonna keep this in mind if I ever road trip through the EU.

    I want to thank not only our politicians, but also our liberal population that allowed the taxes to be this high while also being determined to prevent the adoption of consumer renewables and electric cars as our electrical grid is crumbling. We couldn’t have gotten first place without you guys
