$3.69 for Prem, $3.59 for Mid, $3.49 for Reg... But what can we do?

 

that is insane. i'm afraid to face the high gas prices when i come back home.

 

what base are you referring to?

 

QUEENS/NYC REG 3.39 AND UP!!!!!

its freggin insaneeeeeeee

 

its up to 3.34 today

 

i guess i'll be riding my motorcycle to work more often.

 

really ****ty

 

$2.99 for reg unleaded.
highest in town is $3.19 for reg unleaded

 

nowhere near that. Average is around 2.98 or so. 3 bucks in some places. Geez where do these rumors start? lol

 

I know this is off topic, but unfortunately your comment may well prove to be correct. I suggest you revisit this comment in six months' time. The world economy may not head into recession, but I believe the United States will before a lot of other industrialized nations.

 

It may very well be North America that is hit. I really doubt that China especially, and other developing parts of Asia will be slowed as a result of high energy prices.

IMHO it doesn't matter how much money one earns, things have to be relative. When fuel goes up $1/gal. in a week or so, I can assure you that single people with high incomes feel it. We paid about $5,30/gal. CDN on Mon., and over the weekend saw the prices rise 10 cents/liter in 2 days.

You shoulda seen this Shell station in NJ on Mon. night. They were selling gas for $3.059, and there was mass chaos in their lot, cars facing all directions and lined-up onto Rt. 1. I saw a Lexus and S500 bang hard u-turns to get to the station as super was going for 3.27, lower than the avg. regular price at other stations. To the contrary of the CNN report 1 1/2 mos. ago, $3 is enough to get people to act differently.

 

It is currently about 5.57 cdn$ for a gallon here in montreal actually.....for .89 octane

 

OK $3.10 over here in Oklahoma for the 93rd. This week the prices began to fall. So they're droping I guess.

 

You just thought you had troubles. Click HERE for a peek at the prices for 1 liter (3.76 liters = 1 US gallon) in the UK.

This is the exchange rate as of Wednesday, September 7, 2005:

1 British Pound (£) = $1.83640

In other words, 3.76 x 1.8364 = $6.90/gallon!

 

We were always taught 3.7854 l / gal. No joking around, I did learn in HS and was good at physics. Do I use it today? Survey says.....YES!

 

What is that in litres? I'm assuming its similar to what the prices are here...$1.24 per litre for 89...and just after I decided that I don't want to sell my Max for a more fuel efficient car! I'll have to see how prices are during this next year. I haven't had a chance to fill my car up completely since the prices jumped but I'm guessing it will now cost me near $70.

 

1,47$/liter ...

but seeing our what our oversee friend pays...i don't feel so bad anymore

 

Ouch!!! Usually its more expensive up here but for some reason we have it cheaper now!

 

If you took your gas tank right down to fumes it will be over Cdn$80 at that price - try $83 plus. I have put over 67 litres in my tank before. The manual says it holds 70 litres but you would have to turn it upside down and back over again to fit that much in. So try 67 x $1.24 = $83.08. Enjoy!

You can put in about 60 litres when the idiot light comes on and that is still almost $75.

 

Gas prices will ease, maybe in 14-20 days. You can bet on it. The difference between wholesale and retail has grown to over $1, and that means what? You guessed it, pure profit. What is happening is the oil cos. are limiting the allocation to the dealers, in an attempt to maintain $3/gal. It cannot be sustained. Can $2.50 be sustained? Yes.

It's like running a buffet with king crab legs and little neck clams, and charging $6.95 all-you-can-eat. How do they do it when the little necks are $5-6/dozen. Do you think the buffet is going out-of-business?

I am rather impressed how the typical retail owner (gas) has learned their economic lesson over the last year. The shrewd shyster has priced their motor fuel to the point where they nearly run-out before the next delivery, i.e. maximizing revenue.

You can quote me--14-20 days from now gasoline will be cheaper than it is today. But I wont quit my day job or sell my oil driller stock!

 

Joe. I know super is high but that is what you are supposed to use in your Maxima. You do not want to mess up your engine.

 

Ouch! And thats the price for 89...I'm not even sure what 91 costs. I never let my car go below 1/8 of a tank. So far I've been able to fill up in MN where its cheaper and then once my Dad was driving the car so he filled up for me. I haven't actually filled an entire tank up with these high prices. One tank of gas is getting close to the amount of my monthly car payment! They cut my hours at work too so I have less money to pay for gas...

 

I just saw $1.10 per litre in mississauga (next to Toronto) this morning on my way to work.. i pray this keeps goin down

 

$3/premium

 

Yeah, I saw your thread on TMEC...hopefully that price makes its way up here soon...I'm tempted to try out one of those crazy "fuel genie" things.

 

paid about 54.somethin again today for a full tank ....

1 US Dollar = 1.18870 Canadian Dollar
1 Canadian Dollar (CAD) = 0.84126 US Dollar (USD)

$1.10 x 0.84126 = $0.925386/liter x 3.76 = $3.49/US gallon.

 

At this instant, it's 1.1821. Only way to obtain that rate, I've found, is by using the ATM. My bank does not charge nor does the Canadian bank, such as RBC or Desjardins. Now the ()&()^*&(*)(&)(& CC card cos. charge a fee--they should stop those Visa commercials at the Olympics. Use that plastic in Beijing and you'll get slammed. This dude in Mtl. gave us 1.175 on Sat. then asks my g/f for another $7--I ask him US or CDN. He says "doesn't matter." So I grabbed his adding machine through the bullet-proof glass and told him to hand over 293.75. **** thought we'd give him $7 US and he'd give us 300 CDN. Gone are the days of 1.63, man we lived like we owned Canada back then.

 

shd. have mentioned the 40K was CAD! (back in aug 03)

well said!! and often people who do not vote are blamed!!
if only there was a choice of "neither of the two" , but I guess, I would have to live in libya then:-))

 

Ethanol! It counts for a small, but larger than I thought, part of the fuel consumption in the USA. Corn and certain grains have been a good ethanol cash crop for farmers, particularly in certain states. Now, it is expanding into places that may have problems producing things for human consumption, but can produce crops that can be made into ethanol. There is an ethanol plant going in the state now. E10 can be run by most cars, but you would need an FFV to run E85. However remember that even as ethanol is cheap, my research indicates that you get less mileage compared to regular gas. The problem is that Ethanol contains less energy per unit than gas, so you will burn more of it for the same distance. However, since E85 would be much less than gas, you could still come out ahead.

 

It also uses more energy to manufacture than it releases in use.

 

Its as low as $2.94/gallon and as high as $3.29/gallon for 87 octane around Columbia, SC.
