In Finland 75% of the price of gas is tax, but now... ..there is a price war at the Helsinki area. Price has fallen just under 1$ per liter (I allways mix US and imperial gallons, but it is about 4 US$ per gallon). So now we can have much more than 80% tax of the final price. We have a modern finery and russian oil is quite near, so the price could be very cheap, if... There is no cheep beer, but the average price is 3,5 US$ per liter, about 14 US$ per gallon (?). Then it is the most popular type lager with 4,5 % vol. alcohol. Do not ask if whisky is cheap...
