Oil Prices Down, How Much Do You Pay For Gas?

[PTJD]

Now that Oil prices have come down and since we have forum members from all over the world, just curious how much you all are paying for gas?

Today in Oklahoma I filled up for $1.37/gallon or $1.37/3.8 liters.

 

[youfillintheblank]

We're down to 71.4 cents per litre in Ontario Canada. Which is just a little higher than when I bought my car 7 and half years ago! I'm likin' it! I remember always filling up if it was under 65 cents/litre.

$1.37 a GALLON !!!!

Regular 87 Cheapest in Los Angeles (or atleast around me) is about $1.69/gallon
Premium 91, what I use, cheapest I have seen is $1.89/gallon

Still, that's better than the $5.10/gallon just 3-4 months ago ...

$1.89 in Medford, Oregon
$2.09 on the N.Cal Coast
$1.79 on South coast of Oregon
$1.79 in the Klamath Falls Basin.

Whats a Litre?
Oh that's right it is the measurement the rest of the world uses.

 

[youfillintheblank]

By those numbers I've calculated that's about 55-60 cents Canadian. Man are we getting hosed! I want those prices up here.

$1.89 in Medford, Oregon
$2.09 on the N.Cal Coast
$1.79 on South coast of Oregon
$1.79 in the Klamath Falls Basin.

In the UK it works out at just above $5.00 a gallon at the moment

[RhinoOne]

In Delaware it's $1.57 if you pay cash - $1.64 for credit/debit.

I thought if you (a business) accepted Visa/Mastercard you could not charge more for a CC transaction? Have not run into this in OK yet.

What has this got to do with e-cigs !!!!

 

[Mr.Darcy]

this is the general discussion section Rusty...

my god,petrol is so bloody cheap over the pond...either that or its just so bloody expensive over here...

Regular is 1.49 a gallon in detroit. I gave the clerk a 20 the other day and had a dollar left over, my tank was brimming full. I just let the clerk keep it.

 

[gizmo]

Down under petrol is 1.09 per liter,but could be lower at different stations..half is tax.
Gas is 49c liter.

Grrrrr. I drive a VW Jetta TDI with its thrifty diesel engine (40 mpg). Diesel is easy to refine and America has enough refinery capacity to produce all the diesel this country needs (unlike gasoline). So why is diesel $2.59 a gallon today? Gas is about $1.40. Hope those pigs in Chevy Suburbans, Cadillac Escalades or Ford Excursions are happy with this unfathomable disparity.

Since all big rig trucks run on diesel, most military vehicles, most city and county vehicles, school buses .. why are we allowing this ripoff to exist? One way or the other, we pay for the fuel costs in all of the above.

 

[LakotaRose]

I wonder if they closed the Enron Loophole that allowed gas prices to soar based on speculation.

It would be great if diesel was cheaper. Then perhaps the prices for all our necessities would be lower.

I don't drive much since I work at home. I am happy for commuters who can better afford food now.

 

[NerdyCinderella]

I don't own a car, too expensive here in the city. Median cost of parking a car is $585/month.

Gas prices currently are betw $2.13 and $2.79 for regular gasoline.

Many countries excise their petrol quite heavily (eg. Australia, Europe) whereas the US doesn't. This makes the US more sensitive to crude oil prices, since as a percentage the price changes more.

On the other hand, China subsidizes their petrol to a fixed price.

Crude oil producers will always keep their price below the threshold at which electric cars become relatively economical, so I don't think it's realistic to hope high oil prices will dissuade us from destroying the planet.

Yep. They can get away with it. The Attorney General says it's allowed. The problem is that they post the price in large print to pull in traffic, and in way smaller print is the fact that you have to pay cash - which you don't notice until you've filled your tank half way with your credit/debit card at the higher price.
