Petrol Prices
Me and my husband braved the outrageous petrol prices and went for a (very short) drive today. We try to use the car as little as possible, both for economical as well as environmental reasons. Having a teenager with a new driving licence messes that plan up a bit, he really wants to drive everywhere when he is home, but he is at boarding school during the week so the petrol “damage” isn’t very bad.
The average petrol price per liter in Iceland today is 245.50 króna, which is just about 2 dollars or 1.5 euros. That means that the gallon costs just about 982 or just under 8 dollars or 6 euros.
But I still feel the most important reason for reducing the use of the car as much as possible, is the environmental effects. Besides, walking is good for you.
Here are some photos from my (short) drive today:
Bensín
Ég og húsbóndinn horfðum fram hjá bensínverðinu í dag og fórum í (afar stuttan) bíltúr. Annars reynum við að nota bílinn eins lítið og hægt er, bæði til að spara, en við erum líka að hugsa um umhverfið. Svo er líka hollt að ganga.
Unglingur með brakandi ferskt bílpróf setur að vísu strik í báða þessa reikninga. Hann vil helst keyra um allt þegar hann er heima, en virka daga er hann í heimavistarskóla. Bensínreikningurinn nær því sem betur fer ekki að verða óyfirstíganlegur.

Hér eru nokkrar myndir frá ökuferðinni:
