Gas report!
 

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.

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

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

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

<3

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Armageddon is upon us.

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

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

$48.25

:(

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..

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.

Edit:

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!

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

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.

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$

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. ~

In Toronto, gas prices are now at:

$1.20 per litre.

OR

Approximately: $4.54 per gallon

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

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

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






























































































Jerk.

For the queen!

$3.19 here in Indiana.

BULLSHIT.

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

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

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.

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...

Gas is between $2.60 and $3.19 here.

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.

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.

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

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.

High Demand+Low Supply=High Prices.

nty :-(

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.

Drill it.

It's 3.47 now for premium.

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.
