Gas Prices

[aravan]

Just curious. Post your gas prices here.

In America ours is in gallons (I know that is different then the rest of the world but just go with it).

In Iowa I am paying $2.59 per gallon.

What are you paying?

Edit*** I am also driving 15 miles, one way, to work each day with a car that gets almost 30 miles to the gallon. If you want include this info too. Curious minds want to know. Thanks!!!

[THEOtheGREAT]

here its europe we talk in liters and we pay like 1.99euros for 98 octanes

[Melek~Taus]

$0.96 / litre

which is about $3.13 / gallon U.S....if my calculations are right?

[wesleys]

In the UK our price is around 90p per litre (1.58 USD, 1.30 EUR).

This is going to get really confusing so try to stay with me.
1 US gallon is 3.785 Litres
1 UK gallon is 4.545 Litres.

So in the UK to buy:
1 US gallon of fuel will be £3.40 (5.92 USD, 4.89 EUR).
1 UK gallon of fuel will be £4.09 (7.12 USD, 5.88 EUR).

I travel 25 miles, one way, to work each day.
My car does about 35 miles to the UK gallon (30 miles to the US gallon)

I think my figures are correct. :)

[Ziggot]

So basically gas is cheaper in the US? Yippee ;94

[Shadownation]

The gas prices in the UK are ridiculously high, I recently went on holiday to the Canary Islands and it was 0.67 euros per litre I think, and to fill up the tank of a 1.5 diesel engine it only cost 8-9 euros!

[grimsacre]

Here in Britain we are doing our best to discourage global warming - at least that's what the government blames the prices on. I think at least 75% of the price of petrol (I assume that's what you mean by "gas") is tax.

[grimsacre]

In America ours is in gallons (I know that is different then the rest of the world but just go with it).
Nothing wrong with Imperial measurements. After all, we (the British) gave them to you! You could try not messing around with them though :)

[undertaker]

2.60 a gallon here in southeast tennessee i drive 30 miles one way to work..and have a toyota corrola that gets 30mpg

[His Lord Uberdude]

$2.49 in Minnesota.

.........


I don't know whether to cheer that I have the lowest price here, or to cry that $2.49 is the lowest price.

[Ziggot]

$2.79 9/10 a Gallon Southern California

edit: forgot to add that 9/10ths

Ahh. Yes. Sorry. Another Americanism. Wow! For those of you in the UK that really SUCKS!

How about those of you farther East than the UK???

[HtZ]

its about 2.75 on a military base that doesnt charge tax in the northeast

[Gruss]

It's 2.64 for Regular in Greenville, NC. I believe it's 2.77 for Premium which I get for my car.

Unforunately I'm not helping things by driving a V8 that get's 16-20 MPG in Greenville (in Raleigh I get 20+ MPG, Greenville is the Gas hole for numerous reasons...) On a highway trip I get around 25 MPG, it's just the darn timing of stoplights in Greenville ;ranting

My wife has a Vibe (waiting for snide comments :)) that evens things out since it's a 4 cylinder and she get's around 28-30 MPG in the city.

By the time I leave work it'll probably have gone up another 10 cents...

Too bad several hundred billion couldn't have been spent on alternative fuels research and not trying to grab it from another country...

$2.49 in Minnesota.

Does that have the 10% ethanol mixed in? I believe that helps with the price since it's subsidized.

Last time I checked there were quite a few E85 stations in Minnesota (even one in my hometown). I would consider getting a fuel flexible vehicle if such things were available in Eastern NC.

Of course, from what I've heard making ethanol from corn costs more energy than it returns, but that's why more research needs to be done.

[THEOtheGREAT]

yes cheaper in the US but what does your fully powerd cars burn??????

[speedfreak227]

when i went to venezuela with my g/f last summer it was the equivelant of around $0.03 per litre.

it showed 4600 bolivars as the price and because of the exchange i didn't realise how cheap it was, but then i got to thinking about it and we FILLED UP THE CAR FOR ONE DOLLAR!!!!!!!!!

yeah, needless to say i *****ed to all her family for the rest of the day in the most crude spanish words i knew.

it's around $0.88 canadian per liter in edmonton and around $1/L in vancouver (as i remember)

speedfreak227

[ghetto bob]

In Texas, its around $2.50/gal, but I spoke to a friend in Massachusetts a bit ago and she paid $2.71/gal today. Will be $3 a gallon by Memorial Day (May 31) for all you non-yanks.

[Ekoe10]

Paid $2.60 per gallon in Iowa, USA.

I get about 34 miles/gallon.

Well... then that may be the cheapest place to tank in western Europe.

It is due to tax exceptions, and maybe one of the reasons they are called "the lucky islands". In the rest of Spain a liter costs around 1 euro.

Gas costs almost 1.30 euro in Germany, may have changed cause I haven't tank myself for a while.

Nope, no ethanol in that stuff.
However, at many stations you can get 85% ethanol which is a full $0.80 cheaper. our cars are too old to take it though. :sad

[Gruss]

Updated prices for Greenville, NC

Regular (87) - $2.67 / gallon
Mid-grade (89) - $2.77 / gallon
Premium (93) - $2.87 / gallon

Nope, no ethanol in that stuff.

It must be the midgrade with 10% ethanol since that was what I used in my old car when in lived in Minnesota and Iowa.

[Timmetie]

about 1 euro de liter. It's 3 PM, im not going to calculate the changes, just join the metric system you cavemen.

[Luke]

about 1 euro de liter. It's 3 PM, im not going to calculate the changes, just join the metric system you cavemen.

3am you mean ;)

[axio]

I noticed it was over $1.30AU per litre in Sydney yesterday...about 10-15c more expensive than normal

[Sinner]

$1.04 a litre here in Southwestern Ontario... but it varies... in the morning on the way to that evil place called work... its $1.04 ... on my way home it could be as low as $.95 a litre.

[purple.x.konfusion]

foughly $1.30 in sydney, aust.
dunno how much that is in gallons or US dollars...

[birq]

3am you mean ;)

No, it's 3 PM in metric.

[speedfreak227]

No, it's 3 PM in metric.
nice try.

in the metric 10 hour day 3pm is the equivelant to 15/24 of the day or 6.25 o-clock

[toiletduck]

1.28 per liter in melb aust used to be 60 cents a litre before Bush invaded the middle east

[USARaine]

So I paid $2.27 per gallon today here in Utah. Still outrageously high... it was only like 3 years ago or so that I remember it dropped down to 99 cents a gallon!

- - - -

As to Global warming...it's not happening! Don't let them fool you with all that junk science. It was only 30 years ago they were screaming we were all doomed due to Global Cooling! Global temperatures run in cycles.

Read Michael Crichton's book: State of Fear

I filled up today, at $1.39 a Liter AUD. That works out to around $3.85 USD a gallon! Our prices are set to be around 1.40-1.45 buy next week as well.

Fule is a lot cheeper in the US than most other developed contries, makes sence thou how else are you guys going to fule all the yank tanks you guys drive :P

[Sandgroper]

So I guess you mean petrol and not Gas ? Mine has had a Gas Conversion, and is so much cheaper to run. Good Old imported American Jeep at that - so they are not cheap to run.

Petrol - Unleaded is around $1.19 per Litre.
Petrol - Premium is around $1.26 per Litre.
Gas is around $0.529 per Litre.

But not sure how the conversion rates work, maybe someone can post how to work that out. These prices are Metropolitan area in Perth, Western Australia. In the country, they climb considearbly. We also have a Website dedicated to the prices over here at http://www.fuelwatch.com.au/ which shows the lowest price and also the average mean price across the Metro area.

Perth has a very Large metro area, which is why there can be so much variation. I am North of the River.

Also... When are you guys gonna go Metric ? It is a much better and accurate system than what you are currently using, but that is getting off topic...sorry !!!! lol

[hamalicious]

The petrol in Western Australia sure is cheep compared to down here (Tasmania). They say Bass Straight is the most expensive bit of water to cross in the world lol

BTW The RACT have a similar petrol price watch down here as well http://www.ract.com.au/drawpage.cgi?region=all&drivewayfilling=0&type=&sort=suburb&date=2006-04-06&s=0&ss=611&task=SHOWPRICES#results

Basically 20c a litre more expensive!

[TheOffShoreAccount]

lowest price today in brisbane, qld, australia was A$1.159 per litre.

US$0.83 per litre or US$3.1457 per gallon.

Before uncle sam took us to war it was about 60-70cents per litre (AUD) or US$1.6632 per gallon!

[grimsacre]

Also... When are you guys gonna go Metric ? It is a much better and accurate system than what you are currently using, but that is getting off topic...sorry !!!! lolHow is it more accurate? :confused:

Call me a conspiracy theorist but, the only reason (apart from EU bureaucracy) that petrol is sold by the litre in the UK is so that the "real" price per gallon is hidden. If more people here realised that the price was steadily approaching £5 per gallon there would be more fuel protests than there have been.

[THEOtheGREAT]

maybe grimsacre but the metric litter/meter/etc,... is better the only thing that is english is the railways .....but hey we are all different

[YamuN]

Why oh why must the prices increase...why...?.


:'(

[Brendo]

And that doesn't just change once a day, it can change about 5 (or more) times a day and will go up or down about A$0.10 ...I got petrol this morning @ A$1.239 and then tonite it was A$1.195...Dammit...plus in some instances we can get a discount of 4c/L using 'vouchers' from the supermarket...

And in Queensland, we supposedly get an 8c/litre 'rebate'...

[brodie2219]

Heres The prices that no matter where you are, Metric, gallon, liter....it all translates the same.

[hamalicious]

Here is something I found intresting.

I pinched the chart below from http://www.aip.com.au/pricing/oecd.htm

It illustrates the price of petrol in Australia relative to other OECD countries.

http://www.aip.com.au/pricing/oecd_ulp.gif

Can understand the pain for the people in Europe, who's goverments love taxing the pants off them :(

[hixthebeast]

eh, the US is bout half the price of the uk... that reallllly sucks ;ranting

[Sandgroper]

WOW !!! That is an awesome chart. And over here in Australia, we believe that the Government should be taxing the petrol less... but when you look at the chart there are alot more Governments reaping rewards from Fuel in the World than Australia !!!

[Beddman]

[ghetto bob]

Yeah, pretty telling, the fuel cost is about the same everywhere, its the taxes that really determine consumer cost. ;ranting

This is our local petrol station

[dwork]

Here in Romania the price is about 1 euro/liter and the taxes is almost 70% :confused:

[Splurge]

Here is South Africa (Cape Town) the price for Petrol is R5.05 per litre and Diesel is R4.96 per litre.

Man it sucks. Did you guys know that South Africa has the higest price for telephone calls and internet access.

[araT]

Filled up today, was $1.19 AUD per litre, that works out to be 0.71/L in Europe, 0.50/L in the UK, or 0.86/L in the US.. (in their respective currencies, thankyou xe.com)

0.86 x 3.785 = $3.25 US per US Gallon.
0.50 x 4.545 = $2.27 UK pounds per UK Gallon

I drive a 1994 Toyota Corolla Seca, which is a 2.0L Straight-4... gets 150km+ per tank, tank is ~30L

This time a year ago, petrol here was around 0.70 AUD per litre...


T.

[YamuN]

The prices are full skyrocketing, i remember back when it was like .80 or .90 AUD, my parents tell me it was once <.60AUD though...dayam

I remember it...every since I got my car, the price has gone over the A$1 mark and stayed there :( ...and I have a 4L 6cyl (75L tank) so do about 450kms per tank which last 2 weeks max...

But the the power of the car is worth the cost of the petrol it uses up...:)

It really works like this AraT
You pay £1.19 which converts to 50 in uk terms.
Heck I can remember when it was 25p A GALLON!!! and the oil that went into my two stroke moped cost more than the petrol.
In real terms though here in the UK Petrol(Gas) is 90.9p a litre and Diesel is 94.9
In Spain petrols 64p(equivalent) in France it's 78p this is all in real terms of course.
The answer is what we have all know for some time....we all move to Oztralia (not that tazzy bit though unless you can play duelling banjo's) and save cash.

[Bardley]

I payed $2.32 a gallon two days ago, but the price went up a bit for Easter.
In Ohio.

Sorry to dig up an old thread...

U.S. gas: So cheap it hurts
Relatively low taxes have kept pump prices far below most other developed nations.......

http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/01/news/international/usgas_price/index.htm?cnn=yes

Most expensive places to buy gas

Rank Country Price/gal
1. Bosnia-Herzegovina $10.86
2. Eritrea $ 9.58
3. Norway $ 8.73
4. United Kingdom $ 8.38
5. Netherlands $ 8.37

$1.24/Litre in Alberta

[Apollyonna]

$1.24/Litre in Alberta

Ridiculus.

CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah revive this badboy :)

About $1.50AU/litre at the moment.

which is approximately $1.40US/litre, which is .26 of a gallon

So approximately $5.60 a gallon. *EDIT* errrr $5.20 */EDIT*

And the only reason we aren't higher (so we are told) is because the aussie dollar is strong against the Benjamins.....

Next year can we go to war with a country that doesn't have oil? :D

[Jelle21]

about a month ago it $9.39 USD/gallon in the netherlands and we were nr 1 in the world with that. woop de doop.

maybe it's changed now, I guess it does every day. Where I currently live in Michigan it's about $3.73 USD/gallon.

[Melek~Taus]

$0.96 / litre

which is about $3.13 / gallon U.S....if my calculations are right?

Now it's $1.20 /litre in Ontario....close to Alberta, and you'd think they'd be cheaper with the sands and all?

And that's not cheap, it's over $4 / gallon, you forgot to convert.
