- alacombe 8y agoAbout USD6.33/gal, or AUD$2.3/l for diesel, about the same now that gasoline, though there was larger price difference in the past which lead a lot of people to get a diesel car, so these folks have been hit hard. It's about twice the price as here in Canada.
- owenversteeg 8y agoThe diesel price is about €1.48/L in France. Taxes make up about 60% of that. I think that's what the commenter above was asking.
- ianai 8y agoI’ve see. Articles suggest that’s 3-4 times smaller than the social cost of abating the societal costs of burning fuel. Pretty sobering to think how different the world would be if that price were charged to the burner of fuel.
