Adding Insult To Injury, Greek Gas Prices Are Now The Highest In Europe
Just because being officially the first broke Eurozone country, having 50%+ youth unemployment, and a collapsing economy is not enough, adding absolutely insult to injury is the following chart from Reuters, which shows that compared to other European economies, Greece now has the highest gas price in the old continent. And indicatively while America complains over what is now the highest gas prices in 2012 per AAA, at $3.80 average for a gallon of regular, 30 cents higher than a month ago, and 35 cents higher compared to a year earlier, gas in Greece now sells for over $9.00/gallon. But at least the IMF's worst case projects that Greek economy will be flat in 2013. And that's the "worst case scenario." But at least Europe sure taught Iran a lesson by halting crude imports. Oh yes, that Iran just happened to be one of the biggest suppliers to Greece - oh well. At least Greece still gets to proudly say it is a European colony, everything else be damned.

Higher taxes in order to meet the German requirement for more revenue.

Well what do you expect the government to do when hundreds of thousands of people have handed in their number plates and stopped driving their cars. Smart government makes the remaining drivers pay for the short fall until they too hand in their number plates.
correct. right now its all about surviving. whatever it takes.
In UK I pay £1.449 per litre of diesel.
Nearly £0.92 is Government tax.
Total cost is equivalent to $8.10 a gallon
They are looking to take it to £1.479 in a month.
New cost $8.75
BASTARDS
Fake prices denominated in a fake/manipulated currency means the "law of supply & demand" can be temporarily suspended. At least for now, before Governments and their Central Bank enablers have completely exhausted what is left of their credibility.
Hate to tell you guys, but Turkey is half in Europe and thier gas is over $12.00/gal. Some of the worst traffic jams I've ever seen are in Instanbul. So the prize goes to them for now. Unbelievable that Americans complain about gas prices ...
I thought Greece was going to end in a deflationary collapse. Maybe money printing does cause inflation
Well the Finns have a solution for this.
Some assembly required...

Probably because the suppliers all have to pay cash upfront.
If I was selling gas to Greece I would extend NO CREDIT at all.
Greece should be the poster child for failure and lying politicians.
Who would want to sell petrol to a Greek garage? You'd want upfront payment before the tanker crossed the border as the country could leave the euro at any time and then you have a credito with no hard currency. Not a surprise that prices have risen a lot.
It's time for the Greeks to start producing biofuel out of olive oil. There should be plenty of it because I've seen a dozen interviews already with jobless Greeks who planned to grow olives for a living.
Eurozone's highest gas price, the lowest retirement age, the highest military expenditure per capita... The Hellenic Republic is truly a country of wonders.
160.9 cents on petrol is Ireland, sucks.
I commuted to work on my bike 5 days last week and 5 days the week before.
Am averaging 4-5 bike commutes per week for the past year.
Rode the bike to work again today.

Free yourself from high gas prices.......
I think it could be a great time to buy some longer dated puts on OIL, Obama is gonna try and get the price of oil down if he doesn't its political suicide. If nothing in the middle east rises rapidly, demand is falling for gasoline and Obama may release SPR and probably the Keystone pipeline deal in mid summer to get gas prices down.
Im thinking short CL could be a decent trade here going into the summer months. If we get WTI close to 115 and Brent at 130+ I would be getting extremely short going into the fall, it will cause very difficult economic consequences.
dutch gas price is 1.832 € /L
9.11 $/GallonAfter a few more years of bailout packages byt the Brussels Ministry of Love, the Greek can only afford to ride donkeys, olive-picking being the only job available. Donkeys and olives, bitchezz!!
Brussels - too sick to fail.
I thought by now Germany would have seized all the autos in Greece as collateral...
high oil price will kll the market.
