Anyone notices it's been getting cheaper?
-
Nope.
Crude has dropped to it's lowest price in what, four years? And prices are only as low as they were at this time last year.
We have to pay about £1.26 for petrol and more than £1.30 for diesel.
-
The Chevron I normally go to usually had prices $3.85-90 for 93 octane. It's not $3.70.
-
Where I live, the prices have gone down drastically in the past few weeks. It's very very nice. ;D
-
Prices just dropped to under $3 a gallon here :D

-
Paid $3.09 last time I filled up, that was a nice change from the usual $3.33. :D
-
It's dropped to about 122.9-126.9ish here. During the summer, it went up to around ~151.0
Yes, Canadians measure in cents and liters. :-[

Wait... That confuses me lol... Why in cents?
Do you guys also take your pet beavers to the gas station to buy more bagged milk in this gas guzzler?(http://www.metro.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ice-truck-576x385.jpg)
Anyway, I really hope this drop continues lol...
-
Yeah I believe it's like $2.93 now!
-
134.9 cents per litre for petrol yesterday in Australia (in at least one petrol station in Melbourne, to be specific).
The term "gas" is usually used to refer to liquefied petroleum gas over here (LPG).

Yeah Canada doesn't even have a cent coin anymore.
-
$2.95 here......
-
Today was 125... makes me want to go drive more :D finally!
I fuel up on 94, and it really adds up, finally glad to have affordable gas. :thumb:

Cents are only discontinued in cash transactions. Plus, gas stations get to make those extra couple cents when 1/10th of a cent rounds up! :p
-
Regular is $2.62/gallon here .. not sure on 93 (havent driven my car in 3 weeks)
-
$0.98 per litre of the best possible petrol here.
-
heh we pay 2$/ litre...
-
I drive to a nearby town that has the cheapest gas around, which was $3.14.9 last time I filled up. If I fill up anywhere else, it's usually $3.35.9 or more.
Per gallon.
-
is it true that in cali the gas prices can be 14 bucks a gallon?
-
Speaking of gas, it bothers me that its really tough to get ethanol free gas in the states. Always 5-10% is included.

You can't properly use two decimals in one number. It would be $3.149 or 314.9 cents. That's quite the price jump though. :eek:

I'd call BS on that. Though CA is known for being a little different. :P

Have you explored this site (http://pure-gas.org/)? I will admit I just found it right now, so I'm not terribly familiar with it, but it seems like there are quite a few options. AFAIK, only IA and NE should be difficult to ethanol-free, as they have state laws requiring it.
-

Yup, it comes to about $7.76 a US gallon for us here in Finland at the price I last filled up. At least it's better quality and 98 octane, but still....
-
$1.30 CAD per Liter in Northern Ontario. That's $1.15 a Liter USD. That's $4.92 CAD a Gallon or $4.38 USD a Gallon.
-
Last time I filled up it was £1.37 a litre. Unless I worked it out wrong, that's about $8.50 a gallon.

It only took ya four tries to get it right... :rolleyes:

$3.29/gallon today in North County San Diego. Cheapest I have seen it in a long time. Even though the gas in California is usually more than the rest of the Conus, it is still far cheaper than many places in the world.
-

Yeah, no. Unless you're talking about gas prices at the track...

It was $2.85 in Kentucky over the weekend.

Screw your systems!! Liters are the obvious choice. We buy our pop (yes, POP) by the liter, milk by the liter and gas by the liter! What the hell is a gallon anyway? I'll tell you! It's a giant less accurate measurement of volume, that's what!! The same goes for your kilograms and your Fahrenheit crap!!

I've seen $22 per gallon somewhere near Lake Tahoe on one of the mountains you need to cross, only gas for like 60 miles

Sooo.... you use liters and Celsius, but not kg? Screw your inconsistent use of decimal measures!!
Why doesn't everyone use SI units like the civilised countries do? km, kg, liters, Kelvin and Celsius, Pascals, Newtons, Watts, Joules, etc. And yes, Celsius is an SI unit of measurement, albeit a derived one: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/SIdiagram.html
-
here in the nw filled up at $3.26 premium, albeit it's 0% ethanol-justified
-
Paid $2.70/gal today.
-
It has dropped a few pennies here recently to about £1.29 per liter of diesel.
Let's put that into perspective - that is about $7.84 per US gallon :( .
Fuel in the UK is not cheap.
-
Tax kingdom reporting in. i think its under 13 swedish crown now per litre, its almost 4 litres in a gallon 52 crowns per gallon which would be like ~7,5$ per gallon, down from ~8$ :)
-
dammit, even northern somalia is cheaper than the UK

diesel is usually more expensive but diesel is somewhat close. some "öres" difference.
whats wrong with somalia?
-
I find it a little ironic that Norway has the highest average gasoline price per liter of all countries in this list at $2.33 per liter when their economy is largely supported by local oil: http://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/
-

you mean petrol is usually more expensive than diesel fuel?
whats wrong with somalia?
with the northern one? taxes, prices, asylum seekers. climate is far from perfect. not that much sunshine. even beer can only be bought in liquor stores. school education is thought to not be very good. violent gangs here and there.
well, it's all i can recall from memory.

No,here its more expensive to buy diesel now, price shifted some years ago when the new diesel environmental cars were released. And diesel rose in popularity

We use metric or whatever you call it down here, except for monitor sizes, which are still in inches.
Although one person I know wanted to buy a "two and a half foot" monitor. Haven't heard it put quite like that before.

:)) Hahaha, I love that. I should start doing that from now on, just to accentuate the fact that Imperial units are super goofy.

GAS IS TOO EXPENSIVE

One article I read on the topic suggests that Saudi Arabia is keeping production high (and driving prices lower) to put pressure on competitor producers, who need a higher per barrel price to make a profit. Sounds like a sort of petro-dollar warfare.
