Hey! How much is gas in Greenland?



ILULISSAT, Greenland (AFP) - At a small petrol station dating from the 1960s in Greenland, SUVs queue to fill up with the cheapest gas in Europe, at just 3.77 kroner a litre or 50 euro cents (78 US cents).

The low price is not an advertising coup nor public relations campaign, just the regular price for petrol in Greenland, the biggest island in the world with only 57,000 inhabitants.


Thats right gas in 78 cents a gallon in Greenland. Makes sense right, a frozen island in the North Atlantic has cheaper gas than a industrial country. But I guess you can't please everyone, taxi drivers in Greenland are complaining the "petrol price is to high". But what do I know? I have no idea how much gas cost now a days. When I was driving it was like a buck something.
