How much do you pay for fuel?

Post by Ford Prefect »

The question struck me as I was slipping past the local petrol station and read the big sign - what are the prices like in other places? Currently, petrol sits around one dollar and thirty cents in Tasmania (Hobart area, at least). What about the rest of you?

Cheapest petrol in Lancaster, UK is 88.9p per litre, that's about 5.75 dollars per gallon unless I did my maths wrong. It is early, I can be forgiven.

Tell me about it, our fuel prices are quite high, though in the last thread of this type it turns out that compared to many in Europe we've got it peachy Ford.

1.28 € for a litre, which is 4,86 € for a US gallon. At the current exchange rate between American dollar and euro that's about 5,8 USD/gallon.

According to that site the lowest strait-up price is $2.33 per gallon with the hightest price being $2.66 per gallon.

It looks like the places where I usually buy gas (Circle K) are charging about $2.45 per gallon

So I'm paying about 65¢ per liter if I did the math right. :?

So about 0.54€ and 0.90AUD per liter.

This is for Regular Unleaded which is supposed to average out at about 87 octane IIRC.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

On average, the price I'm paying is R$ 2.5 (US$ 1.17 or 0.96€) per liter. In gallons, would be R$ 9.18 (US$ 4.3 or 3.54€).

Haven't seen prices lately for Georgia but last time I saw them it was $2.25/gallon or thereabouts. Up in NY this past weekend (Buffalo area) prices were ~$2.45 and up.

Generally, 88p a litre is the normal price, however, there's a garage in chorley that sells it at 99.9p a litre (as high as the three digit reader would go), as recent as two weeks ago. I was appalled, but I needed to put some in.

I've heard horror stories from the TV of places having it as high as £1.15 a litre.

About $2.25 for regular unleaded around here.

Too bad it couldn't have loitered around $1.95 a bit longer.

I think I paid $2.87/gal for 87 octane yesterday. This is bit a higher than most stations around here because the gas station is located in prime spot near San Jose International.

A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
