Gas report!

[KagomJack]

Okay, it's not 100% for sure, because gas prices fluctuate constantly. But the projected range on gas prices (here at least, may be more or less in other places) is $4 a gallon. Just a heads up to go get gas while it may be still cheap.

If you can call gas nowadays cheap. Damnit, I want an Electric car.

[KagomJack]

Comparing 1.79 a gallon to 4.00 a gallon, yeah, gas is cheap.

[Jamesadin]

We already have it at $4.01 a gallon here in Canada... And it will only be going up with the hurricane.

[PureRebel]

Premium ULP gas here is $1.13-$1.26 AUS Per litre...

That may as well be in Russian to me cause I have no idea what that equates to here in the states. It doesn't help that i'm just to lazy to look it up too.

[HandOfHeaven]

About 3.78 liters = 1 gallon. In doing the math, it comes to $4.27 - $4.76 AUS, whatever that comes to in US Currency.

Gas is fucking isane. One of my friends said she put a few gallons in one town for $2.53/g this morning, and then when she gave me a ride home, I saw signs for $2.81/g and up when she was going to fill up. Fucking insane to jack prices up like that in one day, and they are only going to rise. I was just about to make a thread about gas prices moving up. By the way, this is for the cheap stuff. People are lucky if they have engines that can handle E-85, because that's $2.00/g here.

[Sovereign]

My car only takes premium and its 3.09 here (cheapest. Up to 3.11). I only have to fill up every 1.5 weeks or so. Not that bad for me.

[HandOfHeaven]

I'm just thinking that it's quite expensive to fully fill up an SUV or a van. My dad has to commute everyday to a city 30 miles away, 5 days a week. that's 300 miles a week on that alone, not including when he goes to the cities (Minneapolis/St Paul, ~90 miles away) or goes to other cities for stuff. One tank of gas for a Toyota Sienna usually takes ~$50 to fill it full.

[Thanatos]

Fuck America. Fuck President Bush. Fuck this hurricane. Fuck using the hurricane for an excuse to raise gas prices.

Armageddon is upon us.

[HandOfHeaven]

Kind of sucks that the offshore platforms kind of floated away...

[Sovereign]

I just found a station that had for still 2.98 ^.^

$48.25

:(

[Afroman]

What's funny is the number of Oil contractors from the States over there, and us not seeing any cheaper gas. The thing is, they go over there and whore it for their own profits, our government is not taking any of the oil. I mean if were going to be over there, we might as well just go ahead and get some oil for ourselves, they have like 14 trillion dollars worth in reserves there, jesus..

[Lenny]

I don't know if this is true, but I heard on the news last night that they're expecting the prices to hit around $7 a gallon in some places.

That now seems to be the case for our petrol if the prices were in USD/US Gallon rather than GBP/litre.

Over here unleaded petrol is now around 90p per litre. Used to be 68p per litre.

So: £0.90/litre * 3.78 = £3.40/US Gallon.

£3.40 = $6

You think you guys have it tough?! Come live over here! Look at what we pay for one US Gallon of petrol!

[Penny_Bags]

Who the fuck says petrol!?!

[S2 AM]

Who the fuck says petrol!?!

Fucking British people you useless fucking turd.

Ya, I remember I payed for gas off post once at a German gas station. That cost 50 euro... that's about 70 bucks, and we didn't even fill it up all the way. We're not used to those high gas prices, though Lenny... we're America. :p

[undeadzombieguy]

I think about a week or so ago, Amsterdam had one of the highest gas prices in the whole world. Right now it's about $6 a gallon.

[Kaneda]

Sov you know there is no difference between premium and standard really. You can use standard and its not going to reduce the life of your car at all. It just a ploy to get more money out of people. Im not kidding either, this isnt some "government consipiracy theory".
My gas is a 2.50$

[Afroman]

There is a different level of octanes in the fuel, that's where the price change is from.

And yeah, this is America. We're not some shitty european country, we're america. The world dominators, we import like 10x as much fuel as the rest of the world combined, we need a discount. ~

[Jamesadin]

In Toronto, gas prices are now at:

$1.20 per litre.

OR

Approximately: $4.54 per gallon

[KagomJack]

It's 2.99 right now. Let's see what it ends up being tomorrow.

[Sovereign]

I saw 3.08, 3.22, and 3.26 near my house.

[Lenny]

And yeah, this is America. We're not some shitty european country, we're america. The world dominators.

It's nice to know how much we mean to you.

Same in Illinois, thank god I don't drive a truck.

[Demosthenes]

Same in Illinois, thank god I don't drive a truck.

$3.51 ever since New Orleans people started taking shelter in Houston.

[Jamesadin]

You know what I hate about the crazy high prices ($4.54 per gallon) in Canada? The situation in the Gulf of Mexico should have little to no effect on us, we get our own oil, mostly off of our East coast or in the Alberta/Saskatchewan tar sands.... And most of our oil still goes to the United States.

[HandOfHeaven]

They really need to mass produce different substance burning cars that are cheaper. It'd be awesome if you could make a car that runs on saltwater...

[WetWired]

Gas is between $2.60 and $3.19 here.

[Penny_Bags]

You know what, honest to fucking god... we DO need to do that.

It pisses me off so much. We don't fucking need oil. I get so frustrated with this shit. I don't know what scientists are thinking. If they created a car that ran on something like that and found a way to make it marketable and such, they should be winning a nobel prize.

[HandOfHeaven]

Well, if the environmentalist would let us drill Alaska we wouldn't have any problems, because supposedly that's more abundant than the Midde East. And if we could get a pipeline or something in Siberia I hear there are oil reserves there too. $2.99 today, jumped up 46 cents from Tuesday.

[Jamesadin]

Drill in the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge? I don't consider myself as a hard core environmentalist, but havn't we fucked up nature enough?

[WetWired]

Rigs can drill sideways, too. Drill in from outside.

As for alternative power cars, there have been plenty of viable ones over the years, but the problem is that no matter how affordable they were, noone wanted to buy them. Now that gas prices are rising so fast, the makers don't make them fast enough to keep up with the demand.

[!King_Amazon!]

High Demand+Low Supply=High Prices.

nty :-(

[gruesomeBODY]

on long island was 3.97, 4.09, 4.32. It cost my mom 100 dollars to fill up her navigator and i heard its only going to go up. I also heard people in atlanta are paying 6, 6.32, 6.78. But thats a rumor i think, and i hope

My dad was telling me about it being 5 dollars a gallon in ATL.

[Sovereign]

Drill it.

It's 3.47 now for premium.

[badboy]

Gas went up 60 cents from the last time I filled up Monday.

Bioethanol.

Use acres of fields to grow wheat and such, and you can use the bioethanol produced to power your car. The great thing is the CO2 emissions are less than what the growing wheat and plants actually take in, so you've effectively got a fuel that doesn't harm the environment in any way.

A British company called "British Sugar" is engaging in a pioneering project to develop UK-based bioethanol. The bioethanol can be produced from UK-gorwn Sugar Beet and Wheat.

The bioethanol is mixed in with the petrol and reduces the CO2 emissions by 50%.

And the great thing is, it's compatible with cars. It won't destroy the engines. A 5% use of bioethanol in the UK would give the equivalent carbon savings to taking 1 million cars off the road.

Gas Report: KAGOM'S A FAG

[PureRebel]

i saw something on BP's Website about prices of fuel.. they are only going up because of all out troops in iraq or something like that.. they are only using this to keep making petrol prices higher when there really is no need to they could be selling it for $1.70/g if our troops werent over there with those dogs

[Sovereign]

Your signature just made me rofl.

[Sovereign]

Yeah. Army has to stockpile gas for those damn tanks. Getting like a mile to a gallon or something (waits for s2 am or SYG'S correction)

So, people are dying and it cost's you alittle more money, don't you have it hard.

[platnum]

3.35 a gallon where I am. Went up over a dollar since the hurricane.

[Dar_Win]

We have tons of oil in Alaska that could last us a long time, but the liberals wont let us touch it :(

oh, and its around 3.50 here

[Grav]

We don't NEED gas anymore! We could be using something else; something better! Goddamnit!

[Lenny]

Steam power!

Hydrogen cells are the modern day equivalent.

[Xenn]

12 cents a gallon (US) in Venezuela..

Let's start our own Zelaron-brand Biodiesal. I think it's about 25 cents a gallon to make, the only problem is the oil-industry mafia.

[HandOfHeaven]

So gas prices actually went down 20 cents to $2.79 because Kwik Trip managed to keep it that low, so the other stations lowered as well.

[Kaneda]

Ours are at $3.00

[Original Sin]

(CAD)$1.39.9/litre here.

[Thanatos]

A couple of gas stations around my area had to close for the time being because their computer system won't let it go above $2.99

[Lenny]

That's one clever computer system.

Hydrogen cells are the modern day equivalent.

Hydrogen Cells eh...

I remember reading an article on www.torrentspy.com about a new motorbike that runs on hydrogen cells...unfortunately I can't find it as it was a few months ago and I can' find their article archive.

[Afroman]

I'm glad it dropped 10 cents recently, then again, it fucking rose 1.20 in most areas. Fucking inflation and 600% price robbing Saudi arabians.

[JRwakebord]

$3.24 here

[Mantralord]

average $3.00 here, but this one gas station around my college has it for $2.89

[Lenny]

This is one of those times you wish you had a company car and your company paying for the petrol you use. Then you'd be laughing all the way to the petrol station.

[Sovereign]

The company would probably take that car back if the gas bill is too high -.-

[slaynish]

No.

My dad has to drive up and down california all day selling people home improvement. He doesnt pay for the gas, he recalls it in his taxes basically saying that he shoudl have to pay it because its his JOB and therefore he spends 100$ a day on gas and might only make 150$ a day.(even though he make slike 5000 a week he still makes the gov. pay for his gas or his company or something)

its HIS car too

[Sovereign]

And I'm talking about a car a major corporation is allowing someone to use....

[!King_Amazon!]

And I'm bashing my head in more and more every time Lenny says "petrol."

[Lenny]

Hey, petrol's the word I use, and petrol's the word I'm gonna say.

As for the car, I've got a mate who's dad has had the car since the last petrol crisis over here. He's been spending thousands on petrol and the company don't mind. It might be worth saying that it was he who gave himself the car as he is the manager for that branch.

Another thing preventing the release of many alternative fuel sources is that oil companies are snapping up Patents for engines that use alternative fuel sources, due to their stubbornness to change their assets around.

Hell, I was talking with my Uncle a while back, and he had actually drawn up the plans for an engine that would seperate the hydrogen from water (forgot the term for that), burn it as fuel, and have a recondensing chamber to minimize water loss as well. Problem was that he was in the Army at the time, and legally anything you invent while in the Army can be patented by the Government.

[S2 AM]

legally anything you invent while in the Army can be patented by the Government.

Does that mean my "Porn-Organizer" is technically a product of the ARMY?

At least it can't be said you're all wasting your time doing things that don't help or contribute to the greater good of the world.

That can't work because the amount of energy released as heat when hydrogen combusts with air is equal to the amount of energy required to separate them to combust. If it did the separation by dialisis, it'd be more efficient to just use an electric power plant.
