The Gas Game

[125gJoe]

Post the highest price you see at your pumps.

Reg. low test and High test... In between octanes aren't needed.

No fibbing please.

Can we keep it the price as per "gallon"? I know, the U.S. is too old fashioned to convert to metric.

On major rule - no politics.

Loud "woohoos" and "yehaawws", and such is fine! :thm:

:D

$3.37 (91 octane), in Aliso Viejo, CA (92656 if you want to map it).

[kveeti]

Currently it's $1.09.9 per Litre for regular gas here.
(1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres)

= $4.16 per gallon

[patoloco]

Here in Costa Rica gas prices are regulated by law, so you'll find the same price in every gas station across the country:

Right now, regular (85 octanes) is sold at an equivalent $3.39 per gallon. Super (95 octanes) are around $3.98 per gallon.

[slipknottin]

$3.00 for regular.

[dirtydawg10]

$2.89 for regular...

[endlessdream]

$2.79 (81) 58104

[test4echo]

3.09 regular

[graphicdesign_r]

$2.94 - 02857 -RI

I wouldn't be surprised to see $4+ by July. :rolleyes: Vacation season hasn't started yet...

[IceH2O]

I've actually stopped looking at the price, just pull up and pump what I need. I think Premium around here is 2.89 and Regular 2.79, Midgrade would be 2.84.

I'll check tomorrow to make sure and edit....

[reality]

reg 86 octane $2.89 super 90-91 $3.09

albuquerque, NM

[125gJoe]

Reg. $2.91 ......so far...

I expected to see prices differ more than they are. Of course CA has its pices.

For now, "The Gas Game" will go to new levels that have never been imagined!

WooHoo!!! YowEee!!

$3.02 for regular. didn't even bother looking at premium. 75067

[cattlegrid_79]

Try coming to London. It can cost you, per gallon, the equivalent of $8.90 for standard.

[Dangerdoll]

$2.82 for regular as of last night..... and that was at the 3rd gas station I went to, the first one was completely out of gas, the second one was just oout of Regular... I thought for a moment to getting the Silver but just couldn't bring myself to pay $2.87 so I moved on... then found one for $2.77

07203

[DirkW]

How about the cost of fillups? I guess I'm lucky to only pay $2.79 a gallon, but I have a 15-seat van to haul around all my kids plus friends. Last week we burned $71.20 worth of gas, which is about 3/4 of a tank. And that was just around town.

[dougall]

$2.97/gallon for premium. at the mobil on 206 in Flanders NJ.

~$37 for 3/4 of a tank.

[DeVitaf]

I commute 120 miles a day back and forth to work.

Costs me roughly $400 a month in gas :(

[Galaxie]

$2.89 here near Dulles Airport

fyi
Netherlands, $6.48/gal
Venezuela, $0.12/gal (yes, 12 cents)

[ScottoMacD]

As of this morning in Montreal the gas was going for 1.20 a litre.

I can never remember the conversion to gallons but it works out to about 3.50 a gallon.

Anyone with the conversion please correct my value for gallons.

[125gJoe]

I commute 120 miles a day back and forth to work.
So you work in another state?

[S.A.]

99362 - Walla Walla, WA (yes we named it twice) 2.97G - Reg.

Just moved back into town in February. We were living 11 miles outside of town and spending over $500/mo in gas! With a teen about to drive her own car, a tween who wants to work strawberry harvest, and a 10yo who just wants to ride his bike without worrying about outrunning ferral dogs, coyote, and oh yeah the big cougar - we moved back. Now everyone walks or bikes to school/work 3-5 days a week. Yeah!!! I will loose that baby fat eventually - hahaha :dance2:

[BcBerri]

Here in the Nahsville area it's about $2.89/gal. It varies by .04-.07 cents depending on what one you stop at. It only costs me about $34 to fill up, however the hubbt has a truck and it takes about $75 for him. :eek:


:OT: Galaxie- I grew up in Tyson's Corner! I moved to Tn when that area just got too crowded and expensive! :rolleyes:

$2.89 for regular. It cost me $74 to fill up my truck yesterday. :sad:

(its a shame the hurricanes caused such damage -- oops >> "sham" << )



While last years hurricanes are a part of the problem, there are other factors making gas prices higher. I can't wait til this years hurricane season.

NEW YORK - Crude-oil prices broke through $75 a barrel to hit a new record Friday, fueled by concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions and tight U.S. gasoline supplies.

Prices at the pump also kept rising, with the average price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline at $2.855, up 3 cents from a day earlier and more than 60 cents higher than a year ago, according to AAA's daily fuel gauge report.

Crude prices, which are more than 40 percent higher than a year ago, have risen 8.4 percent from Thursday's closing price — the biggest weeklong jump since the week ended June 17, 2005, when crude futures rose 9 percent.

Analysts say oil prices are likely to climb even higher in the weeks ahead as worries grow about how international pressure on Iran, OPEC's No. 2 oil producer, will affect its crude output. Rebel disruptions of oil production in Nigeria, the fifth-biggest source of U.S. oil imports, also pose a risk to supply.

[kveeti]

You know, though, I JUST thought of it (sometimes my brain is a little slow). The prices for mine and ScottoMacD's gas prices were converted to US gallons - but they are still in Canadian funds. Oooops.

By today's conversion (1 CAD = 0.879275 USD):

mine $4.16 CAD = U.S. $3.65
S-MacD $4.54 CAD = U.S. $3.99

[test4echo]

$4.04 in Beverly Hills

[nursie]

Gas here for the past few days $2.95 for regular and $3.05 for premium

[S.A.]

I would like to hear from Hawaii or Alaska. Even from another nation that has provinces/states that are isolated.

[DeputyChiefJR]

Hawaii has a law that makes them base their gas prices on the average between the highest and lowest in the continental US or something like that...By all logic though they should have just gone with market prices since they get their gas from Indonesia and wouldn't be affected by most crises in the Middle East.

[mishi8]

This weekend, regular unleaded gas here went up to $1.089 per litre, which works out to $4.10 CDN per gallon ($3.60 US per gallon.)

[born2lovefish]

$2.85 just west of the Indianapolis Airport.

[Dangerdoll]

on my way home tonight $2.91 regular

[DirkW]

I guess I'm lucky to only pay $2.79 a gallonIn one week we jumped up to $3.02/gal and most stations have only regular. When you can find premium, it goes for 3.23/gal.

[RockabillyChick]

highest thus far this year is $2.85 yesterday.

i drive over to idaho where its about 20 cents cheaper. i just fill up when i go over there to buy cigarettes, which are about $20 cheaper per carton, lol.

[sumthin fishy]

:eek: what do folks who own hot rods do arround there?! My 280 z takes midgrade, and my Firebird 91 octane or HIGHER.

[125gJoe]

:eek: what do folks who own hot rods do arround there?! My 280 z takes midgrade, and my Firebird 91 octane or HIGHER.I'm not sure, but if they recently got a pay raise at their job, it pretty much goes to the oil "industry"! Yep....

WooHoo ! !

:eek: what do folks who own hot rods do arround there?! My 280 z takes midgrade, and my Firebird 91 octane or HIGHER.Search for a station then wait in line. Lucky my 300M adjusts to different octane fuels.

[125gJoe]

NOt sure if this is new news,
but in the country of

Venezuela ----

water costs more than gasoline.

I thought many would like to know that perspective everytime you go to the pumps. It gives you an outlook on how the world works, and if you are young, you may want to re-define your career options. >> petroleum (fuel, etc.) <<

The pharmecuetical industry is nice to look into also... WooHoo! :thm:

(I noticed how the prices on gas levelled off, there are no more posts on this thread.. another great marketing practice.. ... "[it's just nomal supply and demand stuff.." (sarcasm))

[case_rums]

If you break it down, the oil companies aren't making all that much per gallon of gas. They're making something like $0.08/gal after refining, etc. The Fed. Government, makes about $0.59/gallon. Repeal that gas tax and we'd all be driving with cheap gas.

$3.15ish for regular and diesel around here.

So true! The margins for the oil companies per unit gallon sold are very, very tight. They make about 100 times less per pound of product than Dell does in selling computers (another tight-margined industry).

Also, if one lives on either of the coasts of America, the state gas taxes are rather considerable. I last paid $2.69 for regular, here in OK. The specific energy of the fuel makes a small difference in the "apparent" price...using gas from CITGO, I get about 50 more miles per fill-up (about 16 U.S. gallons) than from other brands, so their gas, which is reasonably priced to begin with, is actually less expensive. Getting 370 miles in purely city driving from a less-than-aerodynamic and somewhat heavy minivan on that amount of "go-juice" is kind of surprising.

:eek: what do folks who own hot rods do arround there?! My 280 z takes midgrade, and my Firebird 91 octane or HIGHER.Go to the airport and fill up with 100LL (100 octane, low lead).

Well, we used to do that when I lived in Cali...first, you'll kill your catalytic converter. Second, it's a bit more expensive ($3.80/gal as of 9 May in No Cal, which actually is not a bad price for this). :(

If gas were priced for what its worth (i.e., all the money we spend to secure energy markets, fighting wars for it, foreign assistance, blah blah), it'd probably run in the double digits in dollars per gallon.

v/r, N-A

[Decz]

3.96 / gallon here. yuck.

[125gJoe]

At any rate, it's nice to know we are paying such a fair price for gas...

I wonder if the price went up to, say... $4.89 a gallon, then leveled off at, say.. $3.79 a gallon, everyone would understand.

Sometimes, you have to wonder...

:thm:

WooHoo !

Fair or not, it sure is going to change the way we engineer cars and public transpo!

Most people find it hard to feel sorry for the guy who buys a Dodge Ram 1500 truck for commuting near Chicago only to hear him complain on CNN about gas prices, and how he has to borrow his girlfriend's Toyota. Oh, the horror...he was a "manly man" in his truck, but now he has to hang his head in shame to drive a well-engineered, fuel-efficient, reliable car.

Hey, they're giving out $0.15/gal coupons in my local area. That puts regular, at today's price, at $2.59/gal.

v/r, N-A

[125gJoe]

It's nice to know the refineries are fixed, and --- the Summer fuel "change-over" happened so smoothly.
And now we have GAS prices back to "normal" again - just like 2 years ago.... ! WoooHooo ! YeeeeHaaww!

[Toirtis]

The Fed. Government, makes about $0.59/gallon.

I only wish....here taxes are about $0.40/L....so about $1.54/gallon.

Here in Calgary, the gas prices at the moment range (in US$ per US gallons):

$3.38/G to $3.80/G for regular.

[DansMarineTank]

over here we only have the higher quality 95 and 97 octane fuels but when i was driving to work this morning it was at 101.9 pence a litre so thats around $8 a gallon.

[khombre]

Prices in our country are at an all time high i think.

PHP 43.00 / liter (octane 93)
PHP 162.77 / gallon if I converted right..

so in your currency its something like US$ 3.11 / gallon

When I started driving 5 years ago, the price was about US$ 1.185 / gallon

I don't even bring my car to work anymore. I ride the train ;)

[rosita]

North Carolina has some of the highest gas tax in the country. Not sure exactly what it is right now, but I believe in the thirty to forty cent range. However, at the moment I've seen Reg 85 at 2.91, and gas stations just up each additional gas ten cents. Driving to FLA Friday to visit Mom--I'll rack up the dollars as I own a "farm" truck (with horses, getting up hay, hauling all kinds of stuff, it's a must so I don't whine about driving to work, and being a woman certainly don't have to be a "manly man" -- or woman LOL. That's life. :rolleyes:

Near San Francisco I've been getting gas for $3.30+ per gallon. It sucks when I have to fill up the mini van. :thud:
