The government here collect about 70% of each liter in taxes.

The price is similar throughout the other Scandinavian countries. Even in Norway, which is the only one of the Scandic ones that process oil on a big scale, the price is similar as ours.

The reason being, at least here, is probably:

Small market

Long distances for each shipment

Last month they even had to shut down all of GA ( at least the ones that used piston engines ) because the vapour pressure (?) of the gas was to low.

But that was probably because of damaged shipment last year ( yes the 100LL is shipped about once a year )

But this is how it has always been, and probably will be. ( we are only 288K souls )
