Dear misterpaperknife-ga, 
I can supply the price (in SEK), including a breakdown of the various
taxes, for August 2003. The source is a Swedish Tax information site.
I will provide the conversion to the $ rate as of today. Does this
meet with your requirements?

provided by the National Tax Board as of January 1 2003. As you can
see, a different rate of Energy Tax is levied for different types of
petrol depending on their environmental qualities.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Up-to-date pump prices are provided in the link which my colleague
aht-ga has kindly found. I have found no evidence which shows the tax

The comsumer price of 9.54 and 10.20 are both in kronors per liter? Is
there an easy conversion tool to what those prices would be per
gallon?
Thank you

There are 3.7854 litres to 1 U.S. gallon
http://www.schaferandbrown.com/convert/vol_en.htm

So, 3.7854 x 9.54 SEK = 36.112716 SEK which converts to US$ 4.7160974 per gallon
and, 3.7854 x 10.20 SEK = 38.61108 SEK which converts to US$ 5.042368 per gallon

Hopes this helps.

A litre of unleaded petrol is around ten SEK - or, say, 1.30 USD -
equivalent to around 4.71 USD per gallon (US).

This is arrived at by taking the producer price, add an energey tay,
another CO2 tax, and then apply VAT on the total arived at (around 22
%) (Yes, in Sweden the taxes are taxed....) and the proportion of the
price that goes directly to the government is seventy-odd percent
(this is why the price of crude oil does not matter a great deal in
such countries: the effect on the price at the pump is marginal)
