Hahaha! and the US is complaining about the price of petrol! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *serious face*

I just did the conversion, to fill my car in both countries:

In Oz: $70
In US $48

Based on my 60L tank (which equates to about 15 gallons)

Yea, a lot of it is because of how much tax the government put on petrol. About 45% of the price is tax, so if the government lifted the tax on petrol it would drop the price at about 65c (based on the price being $1.18)!

Your car stops after the coal reserves are depleted.
