From Wikipedia:
"Netherlands
The sale of fuels in the Netherlands is levied with an excise tax. A 1995 excise was raised by Dutch gulden 25 cents (€0.11), the Kok Quarter (€0.08 raise per litre gasoline and €0.03 raise per litre diesel), by then Prime-Minister Wim Kok is now specifically set aside by the second Balkenende cabinet for use in road creation and road and public transport maintenance. The 2007 fuel tax was € 0,684 per litre or $ 3,5 per gallon. On top of that is 19% VAT over the entire fuel price, making the Dutch taxes one of the highest in the world."

I would venture to say that the fuel taxes in NED are more than 90% of the base cost of the fuel.

You should do your research before posting, Dave. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
