RF Generation Message Board

Thought I would start a thread on the state of Gas prices in your area. So I did.

Metropolitan Chicago's average price for reg unleaded passed San Franciso today, at a price of $4.001 on average. Illinois continues to be plauged by rapidly rising gas prices, mainly the Chicagoland area. In the course of a week, the price of regular has gone up 17 CENTS!!! :o

I will continue to rant daily. Post info on your hometown, if you like. :laugh:
I kinda want James to do a write-up on the petrol prices across the pond. :D

Right now in Minneapolis Minneasota its right around $3.65. Good thing I bought a bike lol.

Haha! I clicked on here to scoff and rant but I'll keep it short.

Petrol - $8.50/US gallon (114.9ppl)
Diesel - $9/US Gallon (121.9ppl)

I am a new member of gas buddy. It is a user input community that allows people to report gas prices anywhere in the US and Canada (Sorry James, no UK support for you :(). It really is a great website! The ironic thing is, well... I won't be driving for another year, at least.

I can't help being obsessed with gas prices, okay!! Just lay off!!! :embarassed: :laugh:

PS: It's up to $4.007

PSS: $4.015 now

Gas around my area is $3.75 a gallon.
It's a good thing I drive a company vehicle with a company gas card.

Fuck gas prices.

That is all.

Belleville, IL   $3.89

Just East of St. Louis, MO

Cincinnati OH: $3.95

Canada - anywhere between $4.70-$4.90/gallon

Daytona Beach Fl:  $3.75

You know, that used to be less than what we're paying for it, until our currency value collapsed :(

3.65 here.

Springfield, IL was $4.08 for Memorial Day weekend.

Fuck that.

I saw some shocking fuel prices this week.

Petrol - $9.32/US gallon (123.9ppl)
Diesel - $10.08/US gallon :o (133.9ppl)

But around here the main petrol stations are about 114.9-116.9 for petrol and 124.9 for diesel. The higher prices were from independent stations out in the countryside.

HOLY GODDAMN FUCKING SHIT! I guess we have no right to complain about our "petrol" prices now.

Currently 3.98 a gallon in Terre Haute, IN

Fuckers can mark it up when they don't have to compete.

4.099 a gallon at the gas station just down the street from my house.  it jumped 30 cents in three days.

Chicago's Average today as of now is $4.193, down from $4.205 yesterday. The station near my house keeps switching between $4.139, $4.159, $4.179, or $4.199. And I live in a suburb of Chicago, where the prices are supposed to be 20-50 cents lower, not 5!!!

Pittsburgh, PA area is $3.85 - $3.95

I drive a company van from my house to work and back each day. Each van has a gas card(company credit card) in it.
I still drive a GMC Safari van, but because they don't make them anymore, they have been replacing them with Ford F250 vans. So now with the bigger vans and higher gas price, they have gone from $18,000 a month in gas to $42,000 a month in gas to fuel all of the vehicles.

Beware those of you who live in an area where a summer gas mix is mandated. It's more expensive, and it shall be making its return on June 2.

Chicago was holding steady at about $4.19 for 2 or 3 days. Now are average is $4.230. One week ago it was $4.195, one month $3.844, one year $3.669.

Wow...Pathetic.

The good news is Chicago isn't the highest in the country any more. The bad news is California is going to go poor. :laugh:

[img width=700 height=467]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m84/BrokenFlight/FuelPrices.jpg[/img]

British Petroleum, eh? All I say to that is lolwut?

121.9 per liter = 1.219 pounds/liter = 4.61441695982 pounds per gallon = 9.13146972 USD per gallon.

We pay $4.099, they pay $9.129. Difference = $5.03 per gallon. Us Americans need to stop whining.

No, they should start whining (or whine louder). Nobody should be paying more than $3/gallon.

I think I heard (On the internet, mind) Britain has the cheapest Diesel in Europe.... until taxes are added onto it. There's Gordon Brown telling the fuel companies to make more and bring the prices down when most of it is taxes. ::)

The main reason why fuel is so expensive in Europe is because of heavy taxes. One, to discourage usage, and two, to help pay for much needed state things, such as schools, recreational parks, free health-care, and many more things that Americans have, but they just arn't as nice as our European Cousin's stuff. Belgium has one of the highest fuel prices on Earth, but they also have one of the best public school systems on Earth. Coincedence? I think not. :D

$4.09...wisconsin's high.  I start driving this summer

The elusive ganonbanned returns!!! Welcome back, and good luck driving. :laugh:

Filled up today for $3.94. 
Tracked the mileage and the gallons used, and was surprised to learn that my boat gets 22.7 MPG. 

James, I'd just like to say that $10 for breakfast is not a good value.

hahaha, yeah.  Stay off the road bitches.

I don't think you'll do any harm while driving. Driving will do harm to you (gas prices) :D :D

I can't wait until I turn 15 so I can get my permit. I wish time would go faster...

Also, this is the longest thread I have ever created. Over thirty responses!! Keep it up.

The avg price of unleaded reg. went up again today to top out at $4.233. $4.50 is right around the corner, I think. Every once in a while, there are 2-5 stations selling for over $4.50. I laugh when I see them. ::)

You have to bear in mind the cost to get the base food there, with fuel prices being so high. ::)

Holy testicle tuesday (thursday, more like...)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gas prices are going down in our area. :drool: :drool: :drool:

Cool.... I wonder what the reprocussions will be... :evilhappy:

"Holy tesicle tuesday!", used without permission from Ace Ventura  :laugh:

Prices have been creeping up a penny every few days here. The local one was up to 120.9ppl. I was in town and filled up while I was there at 117.9ppl. Just around the corner, BP was 121.9ppl.

I haven't been out to check prices this weekend but Shell tanker drivers are protesting, demanding more money. I think I read they're currently paid an average of £32,000 a year and turned down a rise up to £41,500 by January 2009. Shell only makes up around 10% of UK petrol stations but people are still going to be panic buying because the media is an arsewipe.

James! The gas crisis in Britain hit an American Blog!

http://jalopnik.com/396380/think-youve-got-it-bad-gas-hits-1476-a-gallon-in-britain

Gas has been pretty steady for the past week. I wonder if this trend will start to slope downwards?  :laugh:

4.19 Yesterday
4.09 Today

$4.05 here in daytona beach.

We are down to $3.89 here. It was $4.09 last week.

I was just last week in the Northern Iowa, Southern Minnesota area, and gas is soo cheap compaired to here! $3.79 a gallon for midgrade, $3.94 for regular!! Midgrade is actually cheaper for some reason. ???

I think what has to be mentioned it that in England is that we get taxed twice on the fuel bought, as in fuel duty which is about 65% and then another 17.5% in value added tax (sales tax), this is what makes is so expensive here, unfortunately nether of those will go away so prices will always be artificially high.

Actually, fuel duty is a fixed amount, not a percentage. But yeah, we pay two different taxes on fuel. I think the duty is around 51 pence per litre.

Gas has gone up to 4.499 a gallon here.

$3.83 or $3.88 for the cheap stuff here. Was up to $3.98 last week and it's over $4 in Kansas.

I saw on my way home form work it went up again to 4.539 for the cheap stuff.

Down last night after work to $3.789.

Sitting at 4.08 right now

We're at 4.09

Back to $3.899

Hovering around 4 here.

$3.94 Saturday $3.88 today, an hour South was $3.74.

4.15

Prices have become steady here. The local one is still at 120.9ppl but others are around 117.9/118.9.

We broke the $4 mark in NKC. Monday it was $4.06 @ 6:30 pm then yesterday morning it was $4.09 then back to $4.06 and today it's $4.05. I think the bastards need to stick with a price and leave it.

Yesterday the price in Berwyn's BP on Ogden and Oak Park Ave. shot up to $4.39 I was all like  :no: and dad was like  :embarassed: and I was like  >:( >:( >:( :o

Its gone down to $4.349 here

Average seems to be down to $3.899 around here although I've seen as "low" as $3.859.

I'm not saying $4 gas is a good thing, however, it is having some good side effects. For one thing, more people are carpooling and avoiding unnecessary trips which reduces traffic for everyone. But what I think is a very good thing is that it is getting a lot of people thinking about and switching to alternative fuels, which is definitely a good thing. Oil was never meant to last forever, but everyone just ignored that fact while it was cheap, but now that it's $4/gallon people are realizing we NEED something better. [/Environmentalist rant]

We're down to $3.76! Bet it'll go up tomorrow!

I have noticed that the gas here has dipped as well. It was down to 4.11 today on Harlem and Pershing. Maybe a trend? Nahh.  ;D

It is a trend, the speculators have been suppressed by the end to the Executive moratorium on drilling.  If Congress would get their act together and hold a vote on the matter, then it would go down much further.  As it stands, the Executive moratorium has been lifted, but there is still a Congressional moratorium.  Don't count on it being lifted in the near future as Pelosi has refused to allow the matter to come to a vote.

(Tell me, who is the party of the people?)

Oh, and I just filled up for 3.75.  Pitty I only needed a half of a tank at the time. 

Prices have finally started going down. They've been the same price for the last month. Mum had a 5p/litre off voucher from Tesco so we went there where it was 116.9ppl less the 5p voucher. Made it 111.9ppl.

Its been going down up here too, but the cheapest is still four $4.09 a a gallon here. 

Last night it was $3.86 down from $3.93 a few days ago.

Price of gas dropped by 9 cents in the last two days.  Sitting at 3.89

$3.70 here. Almost time to stock up.

Of course, by stock up, I mean actually fill my tank for once.

Gas here has continuosly gone down for about 2 weeks. I am very scared.  :laugh:

EDIT: I just noticed that the average price of gas in the US has fallen below $4 again. Dang!  :D

I feel as if we are falling down down down down down down a hill. Yay for gas going down!  :nod:

gas here is 4.15 and staying there for a while now. ??????

$3.799

3.69 with my Kroger card.

We filled up for $3.899 in the Oasis on 88. Kinda far, but it was on the way home from paw paw Illinois.

[img width=550 height=440]http://www.zannel.com/webservices/content/70OZHJN97Y/Image-568x440-JPG.jpg[/img]

Ahhh.... I remeber the days when gas was under $2. That was from when I was born, to about the time I was 7-9.

I remember when it was $0.87/gallon. That was the first summer I had my license (the summer of '98).

Annapolis, MD: 3.83

Beavercreek, OH: 3.579

Ooo boy.. that's getting pretty low. Here in Berwyn most places are at 3.99, 3.97, 3.95, or 3.93. Not bad, but not great...

I saw 114.9ppl today. That's the least extortionate I've seen for about six weeks.

4.13 in downtown Vancouver Washington.

Gasoline is cheap in the US.
Here in Belgium we're at $9,12/gallon. (Converted liters to gallon and euro to dollar)

Sitting at 3.76 right now

sandy, UT 4.11 ouch!!!

Driving down from Illinois to Georgia I saw 3.679 in a small town in Tenn. You bet we filled up there.  ;)

Gas stayed at 3.76 over the weekend.

It's dropped quite sharply now. Over the last week or so it must have gone down by 9 or 10 pence per litre. Tesco were 111.9ppl the other day, and mum had a 5ppl off voucher for spending £50+ on groceries there, making it 106.9ppl.

Atlanta is not bad, at around 3.899 - 4.079 a gallon.

@James - Let's here it for under 100 ppl gasoline in the UK!  ;)

Got it 3.55 out in the boonies.

Saw gas today or $1.26/litre in Orangeville Ontario, Canada. Not sure what that converts to in US dollars/gallons as I have to go snag 6 hours of rest before work.

Ah, we're at €1.61/litre here in Belgium.

One gallon is 3.8 liters, so your gas costs $ 6.118/gallon. Almost twice as much as the prices in the US. Here in Belgium it's even worse :(

My aunt and I filled up for $3.879 in Greater Atlanta. We also bought a mega millions lotto ticket for $1. We won $2. Huzzah for profit!  :laugh:

1.48/litre in northern British Columbia right now (Canada).

Man seeing cheaper gas prices in the states vs here in Canada really pisses me off. I mean we have our own oil fields but somehow we still get screwed. I heard a while back that it is because the Premiere of Alberta sold our oil fields to the highest bidder but I don't know if it's true.

It's also due top the fact that the dollar has slipped in value against the Canadain Doller. 10 years ago American gas was 'cheaper' than Canadian gas, but scince our economy sucks right now, well, yeah. You get the point.

It's totally taxes.

Woo! Gas is dropping around here! (not much tho)

$3.65 a gallon, which is good, since I should probably fix up my car now.

around NZ$2/litre here.

im in ca (BAY AREA!!) and its 3.99 most places.

There was a gas station in Cleveland that had gas for $1.99. They showed the mile long line on the news, pretty crazy stuff.

Were the people in the line having their engines on while waiting? Because that would be pretty ironic.

Now that I think of it, it always irritates me when people leave their engine running for too long when they're not driving. Like when a person sees a friend walking down the street and stops over to say hi, but it ends up a 15min conversation. Pretty retarded when people are complaining about the gas prices 24/7.

Like, is it too much of an effort to turn your engine off? It only takes half a second and another whole second to turn it back on. It's like this rediculous idea people got stuck in their heads that, somehow, they'll be away faster when the engine still is running. Like every millisecond counts or something. Did you know that a car standing still emits more CO2 than one actually driving?


Anyway, sorry for the rant, just wanted to say it ;)

I agree. It bugs the hell out of me when I go to the drive-thru at the bank and everyone around me has their engine idling. If I know I'll be stopped for more than a minute, I shut it off.

That's great. I really don't understand why so many people leave theirs on. I mean, all you need to do is reach out your arm 30cm. It's not like you have to get out of the car (like with the cars of the 1910s or something) to manually turn it back on. Even a car that's 30 years old can turn on in a second.

Filled up for 3.499 today after the Kroger discount.  First time the tank was full for under $50 in quite a while. 

I double checked the petrol price in New Zealand. EVERYWHERE is selling it at NZ$2.029 a litre. There isn't even a cent of competition. It's not just in Wellington city. We drove about 50km away and all the petrol stations on the way there were 202.9 as well.

Locally it's $3.62, but 1 1/2 hrs from here it $3.32.

it's holding strong at 3.99 here.  stupid being 20 cents above the national average. 

Yesterday afternoon it was $3.93. Last night, it was $4.11. That's $0.18 in the course of a day!  :o

3.89 yesterday

3.69 here.

3.59

3.45 near me.

3.57 this morning.

3.69

Paid $3.71 yesterday.

It seems to be holding steady in our area right now. It's in the $3.94 - $4.14 range.

Warning! A little rant about gasoline prices.
Why is the average American consumer so damn stupid? Just a few short weeks ago, the national gas price average was over $4/gallon and everyone was saying how we should have learned our lesson in the 1970's and started being more efficient back then. For a short while, people quit buying the huge SUVs and trucks and started buying smaller, more reasonable cars.
Now, gas prices have started to drop to around $3.50 (here at least) and truck and SUV sales are on the rise again. WTF? Are we really that stupid? Did we seriously forget what $4 gas was like?
That is all.

Or the rise is truck and SUV sales just might be attributed to the dealers cutting prices to very, very low levels.  The Ford dealerships around here are offering $12,000 rebates on trucks that would have been ~$24,000-$28,000 sticker.  Others are advertising 40% off the sticker price on new trucks. 

$12,000 off of the truck means you can absorb the price increase of $3.50 to $4.00 for 288,000 miles assuming horrendous mileage of 12 MPG over the life of the vehicle.  I wouldn't blame the consumer for recognizing a deal when it exists.  If you are looking for someone to blame, you might want to look at the truck manufacturers, which aren't just American companies.  Toyota and Nissan are doing these same things. 

I agree with NES_Rules.

Gas prices might fluctuate a bit, but the overal trend is a climbing one.

It's the same thing here in Europe since maybe 4-5 years: SUV's and 4x4s are selling more than ever before. 80% of the people buying these vehicles have no need for cars this big whatsoever, they just "feel safer sitting a bit higher than everybody else". (I litterally heard a woman say that on the news a couple of months ago)

The US has a much longer tradition of buying over-the-top SUV's like Cadillac Escalades and other stupid cars, it'll be much harder for them to switch to smaller, more fuel-efficient cars.

In my opinion, unless you're a plummer or something like that or have a family of 5+, you shouldn't be allowed to buy such fuel-eating monsters.

It pisses me off everytime I see "Ty" of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" give away a Ford Explorer EL. "EL stands for extended lenght! It's an even bigger car!!!! Fuck the environment" Asshole >:(

I understand what you're saying and there probably were/are a lot of people who didn't buy trucks and SUVs for the economic reasons. But, I was referring more to the people who suddenly became environmentalists or wanted to get away from foreign oil when the prices went up.


I agree with that. If there was a reasonable way to check to see why people "need" these huge SUVs and trucks, anyone who really doesn't need one but drives it anyway, should automatically have to pay twice the price for gas.

Now, I drive a truck and I love driving a truck and it's all I'll probably ever drive. But, I do occasionally haul firewood, stone, mulch and stuff like that. But I also drive an S-10 with a 2.2L 4 cylinder because I know that is all the truck I need 95% of the time. It gets around 22 mpg, which isn't spectacular, but not bad either. I could even put in E85 if I could find a place that sells it.

And you can pry my full sized V-8 sedan from my hands over my dead body.
At least the next one will have cylinder deactivation so that it acts as a 4-cylinder most of the time. 

FUCK THE ENVIRONMENT

Got gas for 3.40 with Kroger discount.

Nah, I think I like living on a habitable planet with a breathable atmosphere, thank you very much. :)

The only way the atmosphere would ever become un-breathable would involve the U.S., Russia, and China, going all out with nukes whilst SIMULTANEOUSLY every volcano in the world went off. Even then everything would probably be right as rain in a good five hundred years, albeit with a lot less humans running around. If, IF we polluted enough to cause the temperature to rise slowly it would lead to an excess of fresh water in the oceans which would shut down thermohaline circulation and cause an ice age in the Northern Hemisphere. The influx of ice would absorb all of our awful pollution and kill or misplace a good many of us but NOT make the atmosphere go kaput, it would make it cleaner than ever.

The Earth is an amazing thing full of cycles that take longer than humans will ever know, or exist. Our planet has checks and balances and it will take a little more than neighbor Jimmy-Bob's Monster Truck to take it down.

Environmental things to worry about are shortages: water shortages, fuel shortages (which really comes down to politics), and the God damn rainforest soil which is being leeched by crappy farmers who don't cycle their crops and will eventually lead to food shortages in South America.

Yes, the Earth will always be able to fix itself. The only question will be whether humans will be able to survive the cycles.

Not without a total collapse and rebuilding of civilization, and in many scenarios not at all.

This is why we need to start populating our mine shafts...
[img width=400 height=300]http://gardnerlinn.com/strangelove.jpg[/img]

That is what I was trying to say. In other words, nicely put both of you. ;)

Then shouldn't we make an effort in trying to maximise our stay on this planet?

First of all, aside from the aforementioned nuclear holocaust/volcano holocaust, there is very little evidence that shows us destroying the planet at any rate that will make it unlivable for mankind. This fact, of course, is one of hot debate and I try not to argue it any more. I have read my facts, I have taken several geological courses and the resounding answer to the problem is: we have no idea and will have to wait and see. The thing is, we will have to wait thousands of years to see.

This, along with the fact that--for all the conserving and preservation of the planet that we pour our resources into--there could be a comet or asteroid out there with Earth's name on it, leads me to not give a damn about things and enjoy what's what while I'm here.

There are many other factors as well, and these may be the shallowest...but hell, I'm going to go play a videogame.

 :o...um...$3.68 at Costco in Farmington Hills, MI.

It would be interesting to see if we survive the next ice age. We should, given that technology will be more advanced by then. Maybe to the point that we've developed interstellar travel and could find another planet to inhabit. But we're talking thousands of years.

You do have a point there.

We survived Ice Ages of the past so I don't see why we couldn't survive future ones.

Please not that an ice age isn't as dramatic as it sounds, the temperature drops maybe 10°C on average and around the equator you still get a nice 25°C / 77°F :)

Also, when we survived the last ice age, there no where near as many of us.  Humanity will survive, but the population will need to shrink significantly.

Agreed. Now, back on topic: Gas Prices.

There will be a country wide spike starting today or tomorrow due to speculation that Hurricane Gustav will disrupt oil production. Last I heard, crude has jumped up about $5, so Get ready for $4 gas again (Here in Chicago, it's still $4 though :) )

3.59 this morning

I pulled into the station to the only pump available and a worker comes running out saying that they are running out of gas and have to shut down.  I tell her that I'm running on fumes and won't be able to make it home, so she reluctantly allows me to fill my tank.  Keep in mind that this is a "nice" gas station in a "nice" part of town, so it doesn't have a large, towering sign with prices as those are apparently against zoning laws for the "nice" part of town.  I didn't bother checking the price at the pump either, for some unknown reason.  Anyways, I fill up and pull away.  When I pass the station down the street I see that their price was $3.72.  I just filled up for $3.42. 

The person running the station must have made a mistake when programming the prices into the pumps/signs, and I guess they cant change the prices until the station is empty.  There station was certainly not low on fuel, as the pumps were working about as fast as I've seen gas pumps work. 

Hopefully the prices won't go up due to Labor Day weekend >:(
I have to fill up on the way home, and I did see it was 6 cents cheaper then the last time I filled up :)

Last time I saw, it was $3.899 on Ogden ave. That was about 2 days ago though.  8) :P

Filled up for $3.49 on Sunday. 

Nice 40 cent price difference, eh? :D :laugh:

Keeps droppin near me, $3.25

It jumped up ~30 cents here in Cinci because of the damn hurricane.

It was $3.38 yesterday, I'll have to see if it's gone up or not.

POOOP, gas went up like 45 cents b/c of the hurricane.  I need to fill up too :-\

Gas was around $3.55 everywhere yesterday and this morning, the cheapest was $3.95. Now how can that not be price gouging?

Just heard on the news that parts of Kentucky have prices as high as $5.50 a gallon due to a state-mandated special blend of fuel that is apparently very hard to get right now.  Sucks for them.  Gas is still $3.99 on the Ohio side of the river.

How would you guys like it if one day, gas was at $4.059, and you woke up the next day, and it was $4.759. Now imagine that, in ALMOST ALL of Knoxville.  :o

$5.159 is the highest price as reported today.

Ooh, your gas prices are starting to come closer to ours. Maybe one day you'll have to pay as much as we do :(

I don't think that will happen until the taxes in both our countries are equal.

$3.859, $3.889, $3.919 All on the same street, different blocks. WTF? Still though... 'Tis be going down.

$3.269

I saw prices at $3.459, lowest in a while.
My dad said it was down to $3.399 in some places.
I guess it does make sense that gas should be going down now that summer is over.

3.25 this morning.

Saw a 3.43 yesterday.

Back down to $3.19 over near me.

3.789 last night. O.O

Paid $3.33 on Tuesday night in Dearborn.

Michigan? Do you know where Lathrup Village is?

Yup. Near Southfield. 8)

Do you have family out here logical?

Nah, but my dad graduated from Southfield-Lathrup High School! Class of '77 Baby!!!

My grandpa's work had his family (Grandpa, grandpa, dad, 1 brother and 3 sisters) moving around a boatload. He has lived in Chicago, IL, Riverside, IL, Berwyn,IL, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Lathrup, Michigan, and many others.

He worked for GE and Honeywell. In the computer department (:D). My gramps remembers when the first memory unit came out in the 1940/50's. A glass diode tube filled with mercury that could hold about 32bits of data. The thing was 5 feet long. He knows so much about everything... It's crazy.

Oh! He also worked with Stephen Spielburg's father. :laugh:

I just bought a car that gets 30 mpg highway but needs plus or premium.  I'm hoping it's still a savings over the 'boat' that I drove.

$3.17

$3.35

Holy shat!! 2.99

Shaddap! WHY I AWWDA!!!!

It's 3.39 here in expensive Annapolis.

Stop your crying.

The cheepest in Chicago is still $3.629. The most expensive is $4.399.  :o

It's down to 106.9ppl here. At the current exchange rate it comes to $7.18/US gallon. :)

That's about what it is here too. A couple places are still $3.459

Chicago is always expensive though. I believe they have one of the most expensive gasoline formulas.

I never said gas was expensive here. It's actually rather cheap. Annapolis in general is expensive.

WOOT, we're down to $3.11 :)

Yahoo!  Cheap gas just in time for the election!

$2.94

Shaddap... ;)

$3.30

Meh, your gas costs much less than ours yet the prices are dropping again...the US is quite lucky ;)

3.17, but I heard oil prices are dropping big time. (still)

Isn't petrol in Belgium more expensive than Britain?

Yes, I think so. But not by much. (I'd have to check prices to know for sure)

All I know it's much more expensive here than in the US. ;)

I remember it being a topic on the news and they compared countries and Belgium was like the 15th most expensive country for gas while the US was at the 120th place. Oh and in Venezuela the gas is so cheap you can fill your tank for less than €1, lol. :P

Currently, the cheapest I've seen is €1.38/litre. The highest I've seen was in July and it was €1.59/litre.


According to Wikipeida, Sierra Leone has the world's highest petrol prices at about double the price in Britain.

I found that page aswell. HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_and_diesel_usage_and_pricing) it is.

If you go down to the stats and let US$/gal go from high to low you'll find that the prices are:

in US$/gal:

Belgium: 9.39
UK: 8.67
US: 3.49

Heck, in that list Belgium is ranked 6th most expensive country for gas. So I don't want to see you Americans complain about gas prices anymore! :P

I don't know what the public transportation system near you is like, but it's pretty much non-existent in all but the biggest cities in the US. Even huge cities like LA have virtually none (I'm not sure if they have any, actually). And most American cities are spread out so there's not a lot in walking distance for the majority of them.

And, Americans are just stubborn, greedy, lazy complainers. And we don't really care about the rest of the world. It's pretty much the same reason we don't use the metric system.

$3.03 near me (hey that rhymes :))

Haha, I knew someone would bring that up! Buses in my town are a flat rate of £1.60 one way or £3 return. When I was in New Zealand in August it was the equivalent of 75p to get all the way into town from nearly the outskirts. The nearest bus stop to me is a mile away and I'm hardly in a remote area. If you already have a car, it's cheaper and more convenient to drive.

I can't remember specific train prices but they keep going up above inflation every year and are never on time. I think my friend was saying he wanted to go to Edinburgh, about 400 miles away. By train it would cost £120 one way. By car it would cost £50-60 in petrol.

Don't think that because Britain isn't as big as America we don't travel. The average mileage per year for a British car is 12,000-15,000 miles, which I think is about the same as America.

Busses cost €0.8 for one way and €1.6 return here. But prices can go up if you go through 3 or more "zones". I have a "Buzzy Pass" though, which costs €162. With that it costs me €0.4 per day to take as many busses as I want.

We have the same problem here in Belgium. If you're a normal person and want to go from Brussel North to Leuven and back, it costs €9. And the ride is less than 20min!!! :o

Don't get me started on that. :P

There's so many advantages the metric system has, it's unbelievable you guys are still stuck with that old non-standardized crap. I don't want to offend any of you but, c'mon... Feet and inches? Gallons and ounces? Stones and pounds? It so difficult to calculate with those sizes. In the metric system everything is a multiple of 10, couldn't be more simple. :)

Your public transportation may not be cheap or easy to use, but you at least have it. And I wasn't saying that's the only reason, it's just one of the many.

Also, I'm sure the average fuel efficiency is much higher for your cars. We're really just now starting to get into the smaller cars like you've had for decades.

I agree with you, our system is terrible. It's just so hard to convince 300 million people to change their ways and not to mention expensive.

Yup, I know. Old, lazy, uninformed and mostly suspicious people is what keeps big reforms from happening everywhere around the world.

It's the same reason countries like Norway still have their own little currency instead of the Euro. A majority of people have to vote "yes" for it to happen, but somehow most people "don't want" the Euro there. I know this because me and my dad had an half hour chat about the Euro with a guy at a bank in Norway a couple of years ago. He said the whole Norwegian bank world would love to have the Euro but the population just keeps turning it down.

Sometimes I think it'd be for the good of the nation when decisions like that don't have to be approved by every single stupid citizen in a country but can be made on a higher level.

Even if it would take +/- 50 years for the metric system to be truly integrated in your society, it'd still be worth it. Believe me: rather a difficult, expensive transition to a good system than sticking with one that can't even be called a "system". ;)

The highest i saw gas driving back up here was about 3.90. It was at one of those gas stations that you had to turn off the highway to get to in the middle of nowhere. Drove another 20-30 miles down the road to a town and it dropped like 30 cents.
The cheapest i got was 3.12.

With oil dropping back to prices that are not so laughable... I fail to see why gas prices have not followed?

That's one industry that isn't losing money.

Sitting at 3.29 this morning.

It takes time for crude oil to get to petrol pumps at the stations. If a petrol station buys their fuel for 10p/litre over 1000 litres (completely made up numbers) they would need to sell it before the next shipment comes in at 7p/litre. But it could take a couple of storage tanks before the average price of their stored petrol comes down enough to be able to drop the price for the end consumers.

THe gas station i worked at prices arbitrarily went up and down.
It had nothing to do with when we got our deliveries.

If there was word of a gas crisis or some sort of holiday or fishing tourney or something coming up gas went up.

Going down was always what surprised me.

Anyways there is supposed to be some stations in western mass now that are back down to 2.99!!!

saw $3.599 today.

On the subject of Public Transportation, I can take the bus 3 miles for $0.75 (School to Home), which ends up costing less than my mom coming to pick me up, then driving me back. Granted, the bus is more convenient , and our main car only gets about 15MPG. I friggen hate that car. HATE HATE HATE that car. >:(

:)

Apparently its 2.97 today right down the road from my cuz.
10 points to whoever remembers him ;)

I like low gas prices :)

Its $2.97 near me also :D

$2.79

$3.499...  :speechless: :o

3.15

3.09

3.15

Prices don't seem to have fallen at all here recently. :( Although Tesco announced they're dropping their price by 3ppl but I haven't seen it happen. Maybe at midnight tonight.

$2.72

I got a jerry can of petrol for the Mini at 104.9ppl today from a station that's usually a couple of pence more than other places. It's the nearest one, so going a few miles further isn't worth it for 5 litres.

104.9ppl is the lowest it's been for a long time.

Saw 2.86 o.0

Got gas for 2.99 on my way back from Ocean City.

It finally dropped to under $3 at a few places here, but there are still many places at $3.15.

Yeah, in Annapolis it still is 3.15, but you know, the Ocean Gateway is not quite as upscale as Annapolis / DC.

I've looked up Annapolis and Ocean City up on Wikipedia. How long is the drive between those two?

I saw 102.9ppl this morning but it was closed for refilling.

Its down to $2.85 near me.

$2.68

$2.89 yesterday.

2.52 with the Kroger discount.

2.98 here

2.83 down the road.
AWESOME!

Still in the low to mid 3.40's around here... :(

Same price as Izret near me, $2.83 :)

The Chicago area seems to be much more expensive than most other places of the US. Do you know what causes that?

Pollution controls. Because of the conditions, they need a gasoline mixture that is cleaner, which makes it more expensive. That's one of the reasons anyway, there are probably others.

That's a good thing if that is the main reason. Except for their wallets of course. ;)

Mainstream electrical cars can't come soon enough for me.

*cough*OBAMA*cough*

Please explain what I fail to see here. ???

^He's accusing Barack Obama of the higher gas prices in Chicago because he's the state Senator of Illinois, where Chicago is located.

Ah, get it now, thanks phoenix. :)

I don't know enough of US politics/geographics to know Chicago is in Illinois or that Obama is a Senator in Illinois. ;)

Gas seemed to stall at $2.95 at the lowest, but I finally saw $2.85 on my way home from school. I had to get gas the other day at $3.09, but I didn't fill up because I knew it would drop more this week. Maybe by the time I fill up again, it will be $2.50 :drool:

i just found my graduation yearbook from high school. Gas was $1.85.....damn what a change.

The actual reason is this:

Illinois has one of the highest fuel tax rates in the country, at 57.9 cpg (cents per gallon). California is highest, at 63.9 cpg. In the City of Chicago city limits, there is an extra tax of 12.75cpg. So you can be on Austin, which is one of the dividing streets. On one side, gas is $3.999. On the other, $4.149. The main reason is that we do in fact have the 4th highest fuel tax in the country.

Oh, and Obama has nothing to do with it.[quote author=Sirgin

$2.99 in my neck of the woods.

Saw $3.399 today. O.o

$2.77 by my house at Raceway.

Well sure Obama has nothing to do with it, that was just a stupid stab, but come now.

The reason you have expensive gas is because you have the 4th highest sales tax? That sure explains a lot. :P

Where did the higher taxes come from? If I remember correctly it is that the feds tack on a tax on Illinois gas, having never relinquished control of the tax after they need funds to build the highways. I can't remember the details exactly, it was something my father told me as we drove west and I asked why he refused to gas up in Illinois.

I say tax everyone high, and fix gas at $4.999 everywhere. First, how many people will challenge my reasoning? Then, I will explain.  :)

Paid $2.79 last night.

3.11 here, but I am hoping it drops more before I have to fill up.

It would atleast be a start to get prices relatively comparable to those in Europe.

Explain, and if you bring up the environment or Europe I lose all respect for you.

Drops 5 cents every other day. $3.10 up the road.

I won't, I promise. But first: $3.349. O.O

Okay, now my explanation: profit. The gas station business is one of the worst in the world. The profit on a gallon of gas is extremely low (as in from 1 tenth of a cent to 2 cents), and sometimes, like all businesses, the have losses. Gas stations, on the other hand, have HUGE losses. I am now going to launch into a scenario...

Gas is at a wholesale price of $3.149 (the price of a barrel doesn't have anything directly to do with gas prices. It is the wholesale cost that we should worry about. Barrel cost trickles down into wholesale, which trickles down into the pumps).

The Federal Government adds a mandatory tax of $0.249 per gallon.
The State government adds a mandatory tax of $0.549 per gallon.
The City government adds a tax of a percentage no lower than 2.75%, and no higher than 4.75%.
Add sales tax of whatever the sales tax is. (11% or so in Cook Cnty.)

So we have:
$3.149 + $0.249 + $0.549 = $3.947 * 3% = $4.065 * 11% = $4.512

$4.512 as your current base price. Subtract $4.512 from $4.999, and you get $0.487 per gallon profit. The gas station business would boom, tax revenue would increase, and we could have better funding for everything. Americans need to stop whining at every little damn thing. As James said, gas costs upwards of $8 a gallon in the UK, and they still drive about the same amount as us.

Rant is over. And without saying 'environment'. I brought up Europe, but not as part of my plan, so it doesn't count. :P ;)

But you forget the fact that if people are spending more on gas, they have to spend less on other stuff, so other industries will be hurt. So yeah, it helps the owner of the gas station in that he gets more revenue, but it doesn't help the overall economy any. And I don't think gas stations are hurting any. Sure they don't make anything on gas, but they sell gas just to get you into the store so you buy $50 worth of snacks, cigarettes and lotto tickets.

It would also be interesting to know the average salary overseas compared to ours.

$2.73 @ WaWa

Europeans generally have more effecient methods of transportation than most Americans have.  Many of the cars in America are big and meant to have a ton of room.  The rest of the world usually have more effecient 4 cylinder engines, and lighter cars that help add to better fuel economy.  Due to different safety standards, American vehicles have to be stronger and beefier (and thus heavier) to reduce deaths and injuries when they get hit by a 2+ ton SUV.

$3.299. O.O It just keeps going down.

If there wouldn't be 2+ ton SUV's everywhere in the US there wouldn't be a reason for other cars to be "stronger and beefier" like you just said. ;)

$2.99 today. Down $1 in two weeks. It still needs to be cheaper though.

My thoughts exactly

I saw 100.9 on the way home tonight.

2.49

2.81

$2.47 US

Down to 99.9ppl in my town, at last. 8)

2.35 with Kroger discount :O

It keeps going down...soon you'll be below 2 again :-\

2.39

$2.38 on University and Broadway. Not bad at all.

:)

$2.59 by me.

I saw $3.199 yesterday.

Was going to get gas but it was $2.859 so I went down the street and got it for $2.799. But I didn't fill up in case it gets cheaper.

2.79

2.69 yesterday

Tesco is down to 97.9ppl today.

2.49 it cost me ~25$ to fill my girlfriends car so it should cost my 50-55

$2.57 by me.

2.29

2.25

2.69

The lowest price was stuck at $2.759 for the last couple weeks, but finally went down to $2.659.

2.39 " I'm lovin' it! "

It dropped $.02 to $2.55 last night.

2.19

Through some crazy ass combination of discounts and a coupon a friend of mine got it for 1.80

WTF?

This morning I saw on CNN how oil companies are getting extremely worried about the continuous price drop of oil. Demands are supposedly falling rapidly and so they'll most likely artificially raise the price by creating a smaller supply. (by simply pumping up less oil)

They also talked about how some new innovations/research that oil companies don't find worth investing in if the price of a barrel stays below $100.

One of the richest industries in the world makes less money for only 3 months and already they complain. :-\

2.939... O.O

2.13

94.9ppl at Tesco.

In the $2.20s around St. Paul and Minneapolis.

$2.929 near my house, but I saw $2.869 on the way to the movies.

Tesco have brought back their 5ppl off when you spend £50 or more in the supermarket. Their unleaded price is 94.9ppl, so if you have a voucher it becomes 89.9ppl.

2.69

2.35

2.899, 2.869, or 2.839. :shocked:

My dad filled up in Ottowa, and he got it for $2.399. :O

$2.37 Oh yeah

$2.799 tonight.

2.25

Saw it for below $2 today.  1.989!!!

1.97

1.95

109.9ppl for diesel. Petrol had gone up from 94.9 to 96.9ppl at the local station.

2.789, but out here (Shabbona, IL), it is 2.499.

Was $2.18 on Friday, but yesterday and today it was $2.29 :(

$2.699! It just keeps going down here! :P

Phew, it went back down to $2.25.  Time for me to gather a stockpile of gas.

Could get it for $1.68 with Kroger discount.

$2.05 in my neck of the woods.

2.17 here.

While Tesco has gone down to 92.9ppl (With an extra 5 pence off with a £50 spend in store), my local garage has gone up to 97.9ppl.

I've seen diesel anywhere between 104.9ppl and 111.9ppl.

1.83

1.60

$2.479

Wow, that's expensive.

That's the IL state taxes for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Down here in Southern IL.  It is 1.97

Also, Chicago... they have their own gas tax.

I'm not in Chicago proper though. :P

Don't worry, soon we can all partake in these wonderful taxes! 

 :drunk:

Damn straight! (I'm not kidding, either)

1.79

1.89

Damn... had to fill up for 2.29.

1.73

$1.889 on Tuesday, 11/11/08.

It finally dropped to $1.999 here the other day. Supposedly, this area has the highest gas in the state ???

1.84

Been steadily in the $1.90s around here.

$2.299!!!!

Woo, we're down to $1.87 by me. SWEET :)

1.69

Still sitting at 1.80

1.59

Bought at $1.749 yesterday. Then I travelled 2 blocks and saw it at $1.699. :-\

On my way home from school yesterday it was $1.929, when I went back it was $1.899.

Mile or 2 away 1.86

right down the road

$1.829 this morning, $1.799 this evening.

1.77 here in Southern IL.

1.49 at a few stations in St. Louis

$1.99...

My gosh... It actually happened...


:o

It hasn't been below $2 since about 2001...

1.49

I wonder if it'll go under $1? Nobody thought it would ever go under $2 again.

You have to wonder why diesel and home heating oil is so expensive still though.

My dad said he filled up for $1.899 about 5 minutes from our house, so yeah...


:o

2.70
Dropped 7 more cents since yesterday.

2.70 WTF dude!

Oops i meant $1.70
Doesn't matter it will be down again when i drive out to work and probably down again by the time i leave work.

1.79 yesterday when I filled my tank :)

1.47

WTF $1.79

it will be like $5 next summer...trust me...

Why should we trust you about that? What inside information do you have that we don't?

Oh, I paid $1.66 yesterday.

My dad...lol

$1.69 at Wawa

Sure there is a Wawa at the top of the street I live on, but I still laugh every time I see the sign for Wawa. What a crazy name for a corner store.

Yea, it is a pretty crazy name.  I've heard that it is the name of the type of goose that is on their logo.

Yeah, when the rental agent mentioned the name of the establishment as Wawa my dad and I just did a double take and could not believe someone would name their establishment that.

Just filled up for $1.63.


For premium.

Do you have Kum 'N Go stations?

What a nasty name. :-\

1.44

I agree, if any of 'Bama's policies come into play gas will skyrocket in price; afternoon delight!

Saw it for 1.69

1.95

1.65

$1.619 on Saturday, 11/22/08.

What policies?

From the Obama campaign site:

Enact a Windfall Profits Tax to Provide a $1,000 Emergency Energy Rebate to American Families:Barack Obama and Joe Biden will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills. This relief would be a down payment on the Obama-Biden long-term plan to provide middle-class families with at least $1,000 per year in permanent tax relief.

He intends to directly tax oil companies and give their money to the poor. First of all, this is socialism. Second of all, this provides no incentive for oil companies to produce as much, if this policy were to be enacted American companies would have no reason, no incentive, to produce more oil. This would lead to more foreign dependency and higher prices. That $1000 your family gets will be spent on higher gas prices.



Granted though, with prices at what they are now, Obama won't be able to enact this policy. His plan is to tax every barrel over $80, but if prices are under that like they are now then he can't say he's taking "windfall" profits from the "evil" oil companies, because in reality the Oil Companies are suffering like the rest of us in this economic period of unrest.

It will be a wild ride I'm sure. The sinking economy might just sink any of the plans Obama had for socializing the country. We can only hope.

$1.759 this afternoon.

You can't be serious, but by grace of God you are. Wow.

Yeah, I remember my mom just shaking her head at Kum 'N Gos out west.

Might as well have named it the Jizz 'N Jet

:P

What was the person thinking coming up with that name ???

$1.589 tonight.

Probably back in the innocent '30s or some such.

$1.699 last night.

Founded in 1959 in Hampton, IA.  Name came about in 1970.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kum_&_Go

$1.69 on Monday.

1.43

It was 1.99 in Washington, PA, which further goes to show that nothing good happens in Pennsylvania.

1.57

$1.799 O.O

$1.63

1.69

$1.69, $1.71, $1.70, $1.75 or $1.95; WTF are they thinking pricing it that high?. These are all in Berwyn, so we have quite the gas station competition.

$1.569 yesterday.

1.66 -1.80 in my area.

Right down the road the ARA mart dropped their prices to 1.73 and the Pride was at 1.77 the next day ARA is at 1.76 and Pride is at 1.72 ::)

1.51

Got gas for $1.449 yesterday.

I read in the newspaper the other day that a barrel of oil has dropped below $45, while it peaked at $147 in June (or was it July?). :o

The article also said that if China falls into the recession too, the price could go down even further to $25.

With oil prices that low, it probably won't be long before the US government is bailing out the US oil companies as well as the automobile companies and the banks.

It'd be easier to list who they're not bailing out. :P

Filled up for $1.599

$1.639

Wow Mike, gas here is cheaper than in Youngstown... by a cent.

Yeah, for some reason, it's been consistently higher here. For the longest time we had the highest prices in Ohio.
And I'm getting that price from the one station I pass consistently and it's usually at least $0.05 cheaper than every other place.

1.35

I noticed heading back to Cincinnati and subsequently Annapolis that gas was rather expensive in Eastern Ohio / PA / Mountain Country. It was interesting. I expect to pay an arm and a leg in Washington, PA again when I come home in a week and a half.

My dad just got back from Columbus and he said gas was around $1.40 there and steadily rose the farther north he went. They say gas is always more in PA, but I never buy it there and don't go often enough to know that for sure.
But "an arm and a leg"? As long as it is under $2, I say it's cheap.

^Well, I meant relative to other places I can get it.

Still above $2 here!!!  I paid $2.05 this morning, but the area average is $2.14.  The state attorney general is investigating why we have the highest gas prices in the continental US outside of NY City.  Early finding seem to point to the local stations all deciding to keep the prices high and make more per gallon.

1.41

1.59 here. This really helps out with extra money for the holidays.

Woot!!  Finally below $2.00 here, I saw $1.97 on the way to work this morning.

$1.559 O.O

currently 71 cents a litre here. :o

Gas spiked today from 1.41 to 1.70.

It was $1.47 yesterday.

Spiked from $1.519 to $1.749 O.O

1.29

$1.579

I got it for $1.799 last night, which didn't surprise since it jumped up everywhere else. But then I drive down the street (less than a mile) and they had it for $1.639 :grrr:

Back down alittle 1.59

Doh?

:laugh:

Its back in the 140-160 range here.

Its amazing how much of a difference i see in a 5-10 mile radius around my house.

Petrol - 88.9ppl
Diesel - 99.9ppl

1.49

$1.39

$1.659 - $1.849

oOoOo it dropped to $1.37 earlier

Petrol - 82.9ppl
Diesel - 94.9ppl

1.35 sandy, ut

It's back up to $1.75 in some areas around me. Still see it in the $1.50s frequently though.

It jumped like 30 cents yesterday.

We are still in the 1.50 to 1.80 range here.
Like i said before though its amazing how much price variation there is in such short distances.

I saw 97.9ppl for petrol today. And yet it is still 82.9ppl locally.

Lot of variation here also. Paid $1.709 yesterday at Costco, but saw prices as high as $1.859 just a few miles down the road.

Paid 1.70 with Krog discount.

Uggg, it jumped up $.10 to $1.49.

Big jump around here.  Sitting at 1.98 right now.

2.059 O.O

It's been holding steady @ $1.57 for several weeks.

1.979 again...

1.84

Still at $1.55 here.

Paid $1.759 last night.

1.71

1.74

It went up to $1.57

Was down to 1.67 Sat night and Sun it went to 1.79...

1.71

Poop it went up 12 cents to $1.69

Crap $1.87

$1.979. Back under $2. :P

I've seen petrol anywhere between 87.9ppl and 101.9ppl this week.

Diesel has been 98.9ppl to 101.9ppl where I've noticed the prices for it.

It finally dropped $.02 after weeks of being at $1.69

Paid 2.19/gal yesterday and it's supposed to be rising because they just passed another tax on gas...I hate CA sometimes

Diesel is more expensive than petrol over there now?

Wow, that's just crazy.

Just dropped to $1.99 after being $2.05 for a few weeks.

What do you mean "now"? Diesel overtook petrol about ten years ago. People started realising how much more efficient diesel engines are, so diesel became more popular. The government then decided to put taxes up on diesel to cash in on it because they are bastards.

Oh, but that makes no sense at all. :o

Diesel is still cheaper than Petrol here, although the difference is less big than it used to be 4-5 years ago.

XD

Diesel is exuberantly more expensive here. I remember when gas was at a high of around $4.299, there were a couple places selling it for $5.499. I've heard of it topping $6 in a couple places before too... Now, gas is at $1.949 - $2.049, and diesel is $2.49 - $2.99 round here.

Summer 2008 had a huge increase in prices. Diesel was up to £1.359, which at the time was about $2.70, or about $10 a US gallon.

Bizarre.

I guess Belgium is "special" then. Diesel has been cheaper than gas here for as long as I can remember. I couldn't imagine it any other way.

Also, if Diesel is more expensive than gas, there is no longer a point in buying a Diesel car. People buy (more expensive) Diesel cars here because they can save at the pump. Diesel makes a car less exciting (although I guess that's no longer the case, with the RS8...) and it's worse than gas for nature. So making it more expensive than gas is just crazy. :P

Diesel has superior fuel economy, so for the most part it's higher cost is offset by it's efficiency. But really, cars are not the driving force behind Diesel. Trucks, farm equipment, heavy equipment, buses, military vehicles and ships use Diesel. So realistically, the infrastructure and the retail sector relies on it more than pickup trucks and the few passenger cars that use it.

I agree with you but those "few" passenger cars that run on Diesel as you call it are 30-40% of all cars in Belgium. Maybe we're Diesel-crazy, I don't know. My dad's car runs on Diesel. ;)

I'm sure it is. Over here though, I'd say 10% or less.

I see. That's a big difference. It probably explains the higher cost of Diesel over there.

It's probably one of the major reasons why retail prices have gone up. Especially food and things like that.

1.65 again

I saw $1.949 the other day so I went down the street and got it for $1.929 on my way to work, within 5 hours on my way home the same place had it for $1.899. I could have saved a whole fucking quarter!

1.61

1.72 glad I got gas yesterday

$1.65

Went up to 1.82 now back at 1.71

$2.01 Here in NY. We are getting ready to travel to WA state, so I'm hoping I can get gas at your guys prices on the way there.

It's been trying to decide sub$2 or post $2. I see from $1.919 to $2.179 as the range.

1.82 was 1.71 last night @ 6 then up @ 8

Still hovering around $1.67

So much for MO having the lowest prices, it's 1.78 today.

Down to the mid 1.80s here again

It's been very steadily around 98.9-100.9 for diesel for the last couple of months. Petrol has been waving up and down between 87.9 and 92.9.

I paid € 1.30 a liter today, which is about $ 6.20 a gallon. I drive about 1400 miles a month and spend something like $315 on gasoline. Life is expensive.

$2.169 today. It's going back up.

2.09

It went up to $1.79

1.89

It jumped over $2 at most places at $2.099 or $2.059, I got it for $1.959 today at one of the last stations under $2.

$2.349! O.o

$2.15 in my neck of the woods.

It's somewhere over 2 bucks over here. Sucks how gas prices are slowly creeping up just so it doesn't come as much of shock to everyone. Well, at least I rarely drive if ever. I plan on getting a motorcycle soon so I wonder how that'll go in terms of consumption.

3.89

Grabbed gas for 3.89 at Marathon.  Price at other stations was changed to 4.00

$4.499. Heh.

$4.539

^Sucks

4.05

Found Some at 3.77!

$3.57

The UK is up to £1.40 per litre. That's $8.42/US gallon. £1=$1.58.

New Zealand is at NZ$2.20 for 91ron. That's US$6.82/US gallon.
