Petrol around the world

[wannaknownow]

Anyone know of a site where you can compare the price of car fuel around the world?

Figures for every week for the past 10 years, in US$, for Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, UK & USA are here:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/gas1.html

This list is nearly 2 years old but it covers far more countries and still gives a good indication of relative prices:
http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/ price.html

This site, dated October 2005, covers 8 countries (including the UK). It's particularly useful because it shows clearly that most of the worldwide variations are due to taxes rather than variations in the basic price of fuel:

Hoping these help,

Many thanks Chris. I was particularly interested in the current prices in Oz, NZ.
Thaks for the time you took over this

Current prices in Oz are here (quoted in Australian cents per litre):

The equivalent site for NZ doesn't give current prices but you could always ask Shell (NZ):
