Here, diesel is up to 35c/lt more expensive than petrol. (Australia is the ONLY place in the world where diesel is more expensive than petrol)

Also interesting is your diesel is the same price as your petrol.No mate, that garage put the prices to the max the display board would accommodate. Normally there's around a 10% difference

Current fuel prices in Croatia:
diesel: 9,84 kn = $ 2,12 USD per liter
petrol: 9,50 kn = $ 2,04 USD per liter
Prices are changed every two weeks. (Up, of course...)

Been up since 2.00am got lots of aches and pains lately so couldn't sleep (taken some strong pain killers and waiting for them to kick in... it's 3.00am now and not doing much good) :P ) but could also be lots of digging and shoveling on my block yesterday
Cheers,
Dazz
P.S. Better try and get some sleep I suppose..

I am not sure how are wages over there, but I recon you get ~1000 UK pounds per month, while we here get 300-500 UK pounds per month..
So I recon fuel there is still way cheaper then for us here, if we calculate it that way
Sad, but true...
