Well, I am 10 min. back from filling up my VW Golf (yes, Golf, not Land Cruiser) and it just cost me $67.00. Holy moly!!! This is with regular unleaded fuel. Basically the American dollar and Japanese Yen are pretty close, so for agruements sake let's say they are even.

I live in the country, in the middle of Japan where they say it costs more to get gas here because we don't live near any ports, so it would be a little cheaper in Tokyo.

$1.35 for regular/litre
$1.45 for premium/litre

I am not complaining but just shocked. I used to pay $50 for a fill up 2 weeks ago. I just can't believe the jump. Maybe I should start thinking about a hybrid in the future.

Oh ya...diesel is $1.00/litre.
Thanks for letting me sound off.
Have a great week everyone.
