"Tax the hell out of" - As a swede this makes me laugh since 1 liter of petrol costs just over $2 here.
But we also are pretty much number one when it comes to being environmental friendly nation and no swede would deny climate change.
- hjalle 10y agoJust over $2? 95 octane costs around $1.5 (13.5 SEK) per liter. Still a lot more than US though.
- lorenzhs 10y ago$1.50 per litre is $5.70 per US gallon. According to the AAA, today's US average is $2.25, making gas in Sweden 2.5x as expensive. I think GP's point stands, even if the numbers were a little off. For the record, gas prices in Germany are similar to Sweden, maybe a couple of cents lower (currently around 1.35€ per litre—around 2.35 times the US average)
- staticelf 10y agoSorry, I wasn't aware that the dollar has increased so much in value..
- jmaygarden 10y agoThat's an understandably mistake. The US dollar has increased significantly against the Krona since the US elections last month.
