What are your current gasoline prices (per gallon or liter). The USATODAY says the national average is $2.233 per gallon. (Sorry, they don't report Canadian gas prices).
Around here if you look hard you can find $1.95 but $1.99 is common.
Of course this is to see how expensive/cheap it is to drive to buy chemicals for the hot tubs. (gotta make it legal).

86.5 c/litre regular.

86.5 c/litre regular.
Is that good? First it's in cents so I'd have to change it to dollars. Then it's in those crazy canadian dollars so I'd have to convert that. Then it's in litres, I mean liters, so we'd have to figure out how to make that gallons! Ahhhh, where is my universal translater?!?! ;)
-
! Ahhhh, where is my universal translater?!?! ;)
Maybe I should have just asked for gallons!!!!! Nah!!!!!
-
Litre is the french version of the word. Conversion is the same. ;D
1 Liter = 0.2641721 gallon.
1 gallon = 3.785412 liters.
Therefore 86.5 c/liter = $3.27/gallon Can. which at today's rate = $2.78 US
-
2.16 to 2.21 for regular.

$1.95 gallon today $3.35 by valentine's day :-/
-
I've seen it for $1.85/gallon in our area. Never thought that price would ever look cheap.
-
A BUCK 85??????????????????? I just paid $3 a gallon for premium.
-
Southeast Idaho
2.19 for regular
2.69 for Diesel
These are the only two that I keep an eye on. At 2.69, it still takes about $80 to fill my tank >:(
-
$2.02(and 9/10 of course) in Georgia yesterday where I usually go. Probably a little cheaper if you shop around but unless it is on my usual route home or I am about and about on a day I need gas it doesn't seem to make much sense to go too far out of my way or I just burn up any savings!
-
Around $2/gallon here in St. Louis
-
here in upstate NY 2.32 TO 2.53 per gallon. Across the border into PA it drops by 10 to 15 cents per gallon.
-
I paid $2.35 at Sams Club today (thats with my 5cent discount) in SoCal.
-
$1.81 for regular today
-
79Cents CAD.
-
$2.50-ish/ gal, Northern California. I try not to look at the total when I fill my tank.
-
here in upstate NY 2.32 TO 2.53 per gallon.
Ditto. $2.41 today.
-
2.54 Gal Deisel. Gas is about 10-15 cents cheaper I think. And it cost me 80-90 bucks to fill also.
-
SIGH.....
Actually in France
1.15euro/liter gasoline
0.97 euro/liter diesel
Its why my car is not a Chevy !
-
I don't use it, but I'm wondering why diesel fuel has gotten to be more expensive than gasoline- at least in this area it is. And by a significant amount- something like $0.40/gallon. Diesel used to be cheaper than gasoline. Wonder what's up with that?
-
$1.92 today while out at lunch picking up a new filter.

Why would you even want a Chevy (unless it's a Corvette) or any other American car for that matter, when you can have any European car for less money.
-
For less money ? i'm not sure, the cars here are pricey because the taxes are high
In fact, europeans cars needs less gasoline or diesel, especially moderns diesel motorisations
My Renault Modus (middle car like Golf VW) consumme 4.8l/100kms, not so bad !
And if i want a corvette, i go on Ebay, buy one, put it on the garage, just for cruising on Sunday....
-
Are you saying that an equivalent level American car costs less in Europe then an equivalent level European car?

HAHAHA good one Brewman!!!! Your in Minnesota right?.....Well you musta missed the Biodeisel mandatory memo. Make sure you get the right treatment and use it often. Something about the old power service treatment for winter additive not doing a well enough job on biosolids that can build up. Or get all your fuel from WS, which I do every chance I get.
-
Yeah, I'm in Minnesota, Land Of 10000 Mandates. I don't use diesel fuel, I just happened one day to notice the price was somewhere around $2.89 per gallon when regular gasoline at the same place was somewhere around maybe $2.49.
This was a year or so back, and I was surprised. Last I knew, diesel was always cheaper than gasoline.
I was getting nervous when the state was talking about mandatory E20 in the next year or two. That one bothered me because none of the vehicles I own is approved for anything beyond E10. I especially don't want to run my boat on E-anything, let alone E20. I think that idea fizzled, thankfully.

I live in Billings, MT where there are 3 refineries. They load up the gas and diesel in trucks and haul it 1000 miles and sell if for upwards of $.50 less per gallon than here. Right now we are on par with the rest of the country at about $2.19 for the cheap stuff and about $2.80 for diesel.
Diesel is a by product of creating gasoline from crude oil, but for the last about 18 months it has been more expensive than gasoline even though it costs about 30% less to make it. The reason we are given is because much of it is being sent to Europe where there is higher demand, and much of it is being converted to heating oil because they can make more money doing that.
When national gas prices started dropping from $3.00 a gallon a few months back, we had the second highest gas prices in the U.S., despite having the refineries right here in town (second only to Hawaii). A radio show in the morning got fed up with it and started looking for an answer. They finally got the governer of Montana in for an interview, and the answer he gave was that the refineries were responsible for the prices being so high, and the reason was because they could. There was nothing the government could say or do about it.
Meanwhile, Exxon continues to post 10 billion dollar profits per quarter.. Thats billion with a B. And that is PROFIT, not sales.. There has never been a more profitable company in the history of the world, even taking into consideration adjusting for inflation..
I am a somewhat conservative republican, and I wholeheartedly support capitalism in every form. My family owns a business that I work for, and it is pretty successful. Even so, I think it is disgusting how much the oil companies are raping this country. Maybe I am only bitter because I dont own stock in Exxon.. hehe
-
There are a number of refineries here in the San Francisco area. One of the largest is Chevron. The most expensive Chevron gas station in the area is about 200' from the refineries front gate.
Splain that one Lucy.

When the biodeisel first hit the market our trucks had alot of trouble with it, the additives wern't right for the product. The additive market for winter driving finely caught up. Combined with a bad run of the fuel all kinds of trouble was arrising for the first year or so of Bio production. They now seem to have the proccess right but the price will always remain high for private highway use. The are exceptions here in Minnesota for over the road trucks and IFTA (International Fuel Tax Association) is here for those truckers. But not us private deisel drivers. So our only savior is the fact that with Biodeisel and a computor chip I can get 23 MPG from a 3/4 HD truck, which beats 10-12 which is what the gas models in the same size truck are getting. I can also dial up to 500 HP and over 1000 Ft. Lbs. of torgue and still get 16 MPG. And pulling a capacity load I can still get 16-20 MPG I just have to keep the RPM below 2000 which is an excrusiatingly slow 67 MPH!!

It's down to $1.85 here now, too.
-
Wednesday they went around and boosted the price back up to $2.05. But a day later it's down to $2.03. Tuesday I filled up at Sam's club and paid $1.80 (member price).
Why do they always seem to boost the price by $0.20/per gallon in one shot, but SLOWLY slide down a penny or so a time over a couple weeks?

Prices are "sticky downward". Typically when a market has shown it can/will bear a certain price point, comming down from that price wil be as slow as competition and the market will allow.

$2.05 in New Castle, DE. today.
Bluesman 8-)

$2.39 today for regular is So Cal. I think we are getting ripped off. Why do we pay more here?

Besides that, my question is why does every station in the metro area all raise their prices by the exact same aboutn within hours? I know every station in town doesn't get new gas the same day. Isn't that some sort of price fixing?
-
They raise the price as soon as they get word that the price of the next shipment is going higher. They all seem to rush to the same price, though.
When Jesse Ventura was governor here, he pushed thru a law that requires all places that sell gas to put a minimum markup on it. So prices around here really tend to shadow each other. And no selling at or below cost.

What are your current gasoline prices (per gallon or liter).
Around here if you look hard you can find $1.95 but $1.99 is common.
What a difference 3 months make. If you look real hard you might find gas for $2.65 per gallon. I saw some for $2.76 this morning, too.
What that is per litre I'll need help from our northern (or anyone else who buys gas by the litre) friends.
>:( :-/
-
It's spring, and with it comes the dreaded driving season demand excuse to jack the prices.
I think I paid $2.65 this morning. That'd be about $.67 per litre.
-
our gas price went up to $1.16 a litre a couple days ago and the store just across the border which Canada supplies is at $2.38 a Gal.
so basically we are paying about $4.30 a Gal Cdn which converts to about $3.77US thats something to complain about
-
Saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "When Bush took office, gas was $1.49 a gallon!" I know a lot has gone on over his term, but seems a little to much to be a kiwi-dink to me.

We don't have an option in Minnesota for non Bio unless you have a permit for off road use.
What kind of camper Campsalot, or how do you camp, ever get this way?

Soon you Californians won't have any 'arms' or 'legs' left. If I was a first born I'd be getting nervous. :'(
