Gas prices in Sweden reach record highs

More fuel efficient cars, alternative fuels, and high fuel taxes have pushed gasoline consumption in Sweden down by about 2 percent per year. According to Ulf Svahn, CEO for the Swedish Petroleum Institute, the high prices in Sweden can be attributed to record high gas prices on the world market, which the ever-weaker dollar can’t counter. Despite high prices at the pump, profit margins at fuel companies were around 82 öre per litre in March, close to historic lows, according to Svahn. A short film collection shot on mobile phones by female directors seeking to create queer and feminist pornography is set to receive 350,000 kronor ($59,000) in Swedish cultural subsidies.
