Gasoline / petrol / bensin
Would be interesting comparing how far we get on one days salary by car.Jim said he payd 3.45 pr gallon. For this blog i wanna convert to litres but keep it in usdollars:
1 gallon is 3.78 litre but lets say 4 litres.
Jim pay less than a dollar pr. litre. In norway the price of gas is almost three times higher, and i guess we earn about the same.
Lets assume for the calcyle that we all have a teachers salary, and thats where you ppl come in:
i would like to know how much a teacher in your erea earns pr day and will he get a full tank (50litres) for a days salary ?
He will here in norway with a few quid to spare.
Norway:
1 days salary (teacher) after taxes: (about) 175 $.
Price for 50 litre gasoline: 2.60 $ pr.litre x 50 = 130 $.
He will have a full tank and 45$ for icecream on the way.
Im fully aware that distance driven is not equal to happiness given! (often the opposite) lol
Just find it interesting to compare.

Btw, a litre milk costs less than a litre bensin here.
Woulden't it feel strange to buy 50 litre milk and put it on the car? lol
Bulgaria
1 day salary (teacher) after taxes: 15 $.
Price of gasoline for 50 l about): 100 $
He will have a full tank after 7 days of hard work!
Well, milk would most certainly be cheaper since you car wont move for a bit, hehe.
Hope he will treat himself with sunday off.
Spd, on second thought... could it be cheaper for you folks to pour vodka on the tank?
At 1 gal = 3.78 L ... $1.06 per liter (in US dollars)
Public school teachers here... perhaps $30k/yr to start and $60k/yr (and more) after about 5 years (we have problems... the system here is messed up and this is just part of it)
Anyways... at $60k... and about 200 working days in a year... $300 per day then... after taxes, about $220 I'd guess.
50 liters X $1.06 = $53 ... so the tank is full twice before lunch time. (which is part of the reason too many own SUV's
25% petrol companies
5% fuelstaion
Are going to trigger a war against the oil companies and the governmentsssss policy whom behind all that mess.How about car tax,car insurance,are you happy with it?
I boycotted all of that,the change comes with in yourself first,don't use a car,find other way and there is ways to save money,in the same time you save the environment and make those companies get mad maybe no bonuses
I mean hanging over the computer at the office chatting with friends
Keep in mind that fuel ain't infinite and once we run outa it... 2/3 (or more) of the world population will have to die unless we come up with some sort of solution -up till now, none is sustainable/viable ...
Natural gas for use in trucks is currently being worked out in Washington. I'm hopeful.
Bali
50 liter Petrol = 50 x 0.50 = 25US
IF the Norway teacher comes to Bali with his 1 day salary he could fill up my tank exactly 7 times and I could be driving around happely for at least 2,5 months with it!
I couldn't find out about the teacher salary for expats here
...hmm, I wonder if its worth shipping petrol from these cheap countrys to our own...
