Statoil's Home: $11/Gallon Gasoline --

A big "thank you" to a reader for leading me to this site: gasoline costs only $11/gallon in Norway, home of Statoil. Without my readers taking time to comment, I would miss a lot. Thank you.

“I remember when it seemed painful to pay more than NOK 10 per liter (about $7 per gallon at current exchange rates),” Kjetil Balke told newspaper Aftenposten as he pumped gasoline at a large Statoil station in Sandvika, west of Oslo, on Friday. “Now it’s completely wild, NOK 15.11 today. I’m doing what most everyone else is, closing my eyes while I fill up.”

I was fortunate to have visited Norway with my father and grandfather years ago. I cannot afford to return to visit now.
