Vauxhall Cavalier Convertible

[Alex]

My unique car is the Chevrolet Monza, but i'm looking for a popular car, more economic, and I'll let the Monza only for weekends.

I live on south of Brasil, here normally is more cold than the rest of country. In the winter arrives 0 degrees centigrade sometimes. It isn't very cool :P

Here we pay a lots of taxes... the tax burden of Brasil is among the highest in the world.

For use in cars, here we have gasoline (petrol), alcool (ethanol) and gas. To buses and trucks there is some biodiesel.

Common gasoline costs about R$ 2,59
Alcool R$ 1,50
Gas R$ 1,10

1 US$ = R$ 1,70

Obs.: Happy Birthday to you! :smt113 :smt113

Thank you for the birthday greetings.

Your gasoline prices are very cheap.
Unfortunately or gasoline has approx 70% tax and duty and is very expensive.

I think our countries both have a high tax burden.

In Brazilian money the gasoline price in UK is about R$17 per gallon or R$3.60 per litre.

Markuk, our gasoline is not cheap.

Here in my city (Goiânia), the value is of R$ 2,55 (US$ 1,50) for liter. But it has led in consideration that our gasoline has addition of 25% of alcohol anidro. In the truth, for each liter of "mixture", they enter in our tank 750ml of gasoline. There the UK, I believe, does not have alcohol addition.

[Markuk]

I now understand.

Now I know that you meant the price per litre.

There is 10/15% bio fuel added to uk fuel but it is gasoline made from plants.

There is 10/15% bio fuel added to uk fuel but it is gasoline made from plants.

Done gasoline of plants? How? It has the same properties of the gasoline derived from the oil? :smt017 :smt030

The Brazilian alcohol is derived from the sugar cane-of-sugar. It is a combustible bio, but with well different properties of the gasoline.

Lindo!!!

[Markuk]

Hello again.
I am no expert on fuel at all but I think the bio fuel in UK is derived from grain not sugar.
The USA uses a similar system. How the octane is retained I dont know.
If I knew how it is done I would be more specific. What I do know is that grain prices are at a record high partly because fuel production from grain has increased demand.

Ethanol (Alcool) is a great price combustible, and ethanol motors are more powerful than equal in petrol and cheapier (Ethanol Cars Pays Less Taxes)...
He're the Tax of combustibles is +/- 60%!
In Venezuela, another country of South America, the petrol costs only 2cents of pound/liter!!! It's amazing, is a country with petrol cheaper than water!

If one day I live in Venezuela I want a V12 or something better...
