price off petrol(gas)

[comrvf]

at the moment its at au$1.46 a litter wats it around the world

[mathmission]

$2.79 here in the mid USA (course, I'm a cheap cow, so I buy the 87 octane stuff.)

[comrvf]

but that would be a gallen math we 4.5 liters to a gallen

[mathmission]

Indeed, that does suck!

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

$3.09 here.

[Carrie]

$2.89

[comrvf]

its like it the hole world over wat happend when i was akid i can rember my dad filling up for 33 cents a litter and that was not too long ago

[mathmission]

I think the cheapest I ever bought gas was $0.88

It's now $2.79 here

[comrvf]

i watching an aussie mourninng show today and thay said that the petrol compeny are making around $9 profit on a barrel off oil thats a lot off money

[mathmission]

what're the barrells up to now, around $78?

[comrvf]

maybe more

[comrvf]

$75 and strong

[mathmission]

$2.89 a gallon here! Good thing I barely drive anymore. I walk to work. Gives me time to read.

[Potato]

$2.92 is what I paid late last night

[mathmission]

$2.92 is what I paid late last night
Yuck!

[pegasus]

$2.89 a gallon here! Good thing I barely drive anymore. I walk to work. Gives me time to read.

If everything else is as cheap as gas where you live my friend, I would seriously consider emigrating (LOL).:hmmm:

Lets see... the price of gas where I live is around 1,1 Euro (about $1.4)

Assuming that a galon is 4.5 liters (not so sure about that though) then the price of a galon of gas in Greece is (4.5)X1.4=$6.3 :saywha: (219% more expensive)

If you think $2.89 a galon sucks... then what do you have to say about $6.3...??? (Big Sigh)

Working 30% more, while beeing paid 25% less than the average American and paying at least 40% more for the same goods/services aint fun at all me thinks!!!

[mathmission]

Wow... Just wow...

[mathmission]

We're pretty steady here at 2.89 a gallon


My friend in Alaska is thinking about moving back down here, and he said that gas prices in parts of Canada right now are near 6USD a gallon

[comrvf]

ok here i found out some info yesterday that the Australian government charges 48 cents in dollar per litter for petrol but when the government was introducing gst thay said that thay would drop the fuel excise which is 38 cents per litter but thay haven't if that were too it would drop the price off petrol too 90cents a litter but thay can still have there gst which is roughly 10 per litter after all the lies it is said that Jhon howard will probably still win the next election

[mathmission]

Gas here went up to 3 dollars a gallon

[mathmission]

Well, now that the Alaskan pipeline is going to go down, I expect that gas will soar!

[comrvf]

but will it ever come back down ???????????????????????

[mathmission]

but will it ever come back down ???????????????????????
I acutally don't think so. I think that, if anything, the price will always go up. It might stablize at some point, but I'm not sure. It seems to me that the total amount of crude oil is only dropping, so at some point, this stuff is going to be worth its weight in gold.

[comrvf]

true true my friend ive looked in to it and there is many a difrent view on the supject some say that we only have 20-50 years left of crude supply and some say 10 who knows or is it just a big control maybe we should send bakedon on a mission

[mathmission]

Gas actually went down in cost here just a week ago. I assume it'll get back up there though.

Haven't seen BakeDon in a while.

[! Ask !]

In Europe we pay €1,5 a liter more than $2 :(

[Carrie]

We are paying $3.16 a gallon here...

The other day I put in $10.00, Got a little over 3 gallons of Gas. Took the car from E to about a quarter tank of gas.

Ridiculous!

[mathmission]

2.69 for us here.

[comrvf]

i just put $10 of petrol in my car and only got 7.5 litters that went from E-1/4 same as carrie and ive got a 60L tank i had just over empty the light wasnt on yet

[mathmission]

Well, might as well bring this back up. Gas has dropped down to $2.08/gal here in the midwest.

[tiremonkey2000]

We just hit $2.22 here

[mathmission]

MY GOD! 1.99/gal

[mathmission]

well, it's been a while since this thread has been updated. We're still hovering around 2 bucks a gallon.

I heard on NPR today that the price per barrel is still going down, but the oil companies still are recording very high earnings. I don't really care about their earnings as long as the prices don't go up here. Course, I'd really prefer to have some sort of renewable fuel...

anyone working on that?

[tiremonkey2000]

Our prices have actually gone up from 2.07 too 2.11 in some places. and yes they have been working on a hybrid fuel but i can't seem to find the wedsite, but i will keep looking.

[mathmission]

Being here in MO, our big thing is the corn based fuel. I think they're really trying hard to make this work. I'm not sure that it's going to be something that's going to happen soon, but we'll see.

[Carrie]

We are at $2.19 a gallon.

[mathmission]

Well, I guess I should plan for something like that, Carrie. I'm headed to Chicago on the 17th of November, will be there until the afternoon of the 19th. Don't suppose you'll be in town, will ya?

[The_Amber]

How are you getting there? It'd be easier to be seen BEFORE you hit Chicago.

[mathmission]

That's very true, but the problem with that is that I'll have 4 other people that are very eager to get to Chicago. We are catching a 3:37 train in Geneva into Chicago, so taking a pit stop will not be easy. I think we're taking 55 or something. I'm not quite sure as to the route yet. Probably won't be able to catch up with you guys this time, but I do plan to return some time by myself; might make for an easier meet.

[Carrie]

Yeah MM I think that it would make for a much easier meeting. Once in Chicago the chances of us running into each other would be slim to none, even being at the same location. LOL

Let us know the next time you are going and we can meet you and go catch a show or hit a few museums...and bars.

[mathmission]

Agreed. I'm partial to a lot of Chicago food. We're headed to (gonna spell this wrong, not even going to try) Geodannos (I know that's wrong, but I'm sure you know what it is) the first night we're there. Then for dinner the next night, we're going to Sal and Carabbos (A brazillian all you can eat meat place, 45 bucks a plate.) Probably have Lowry's for lunch that day.

But yeah, I'll let you know the next time I'm through. I try to come up once every now and then. We need to meet some time.

[tiremonkey2000]

We are between $2:13 and $2:19 within a 10 mile range

[The_Amber]

$2.25 as of last night.

[mathmission]

2.09, steady

[mathmission]

Well, things have gone down quite a bit: $1.99 here, and $1.79 in my home town.

[tiremonkey2000]

Here it's down to $2.02 a gallon and falling....

[mathmission]

Yeah, something's up though... This new issue with Iran... I bet the prices go back up in a week or so.

[mathmission]

$2.29

[tiremonkey2000]

ours is 2.53 and climbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mathmission]

I heard that barrels of oil went back down again today. In the grand scheme of things, it won't do much here right now, but could affect things in a week or two.

[mathmission]

$2.55 / gal

[tiremonkey2000]

$2.69 a gallon for regular

[mathmission]

yeah, same here... $2.70, just went up 20 cents in one day.

[mathmission]

$2.75 / gal

<----- bending over and taking it.

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

I think we are at about $3.21.

Bastards are cutting our fuel lines on our company trucks.

[mathmission]

$2.79/gal

[Carrie]

$2.89 :(

[mathmission]

$2.89 here now

[tiremonkey2000]

Been hanging at $2.89 for about 2 weeks now, but deisel dropped 4 cents to $2.85.

[The_Amber]

Just paid $2.99 yesterday. I am so NOT buying gas the 15th

[mathmission]

Yeah, I read about that. I wonder how many people will participate with that. I don't really think that it'll cause the industry to lower their prices. If anything, in a supply and demand world, if the major companies were to lose millions of dollars, wouldn't they just continue the prices? We'll buy their gas regardless, as we are very dependent

[Carrie]

$3.18 a gallon :(

[tiremonkey2000]

Regular dropped to $2.81 yesterday and was back up to $2.87 this morning, but diesel dropped to $2.81 and stayed there.

[mathmission]

$3.05 here

[pegasus]

1 U.S Gallon (Liquid) = 3,785412 E.U Liters (Liquid)

A Liter of gas in Greece costs an average of 1,10 Euro or $1,485 (US)

(1 EURO = 1,35 USD)

So ... A Gallon of gas in Greece costs ... 3,785412 Liters X 1,485 US dollars per liter .... about $5,63 ($5,97 including state and local taxes, price fluctuations due to local supply and demand, profiteering and so on) or about 95% more than the average US price.

Do you still think that paying $3,25 for a gallon of gas is too much???

Could be a lot worse you know ... (sigh)

[mathmission]

That does suck Pegasus...

it went up to $3.15 here, which means it's increased 27 cents in the last 10 days.

It's a damn good thing I walk to work, and that I only live about a mile and a half away.

[Carrie]

it's at $3.25 here.

[mathmission]

we're doomed

[tiremonkey2000]

$3.09 here for high test gas, still hanging between $2.85 and $2.99 for regular unleaded but diesel has dropped in some places to $2.75 a gallon.

[mathmission]

$3.20/gal

[tiremonkey2000]

$3.21 as of this morning

[mathmission]

I haven't checked it this morning, but last night we were only 2 cents behind you.

Anyone know what it needs to reach to break the record (inflation calculated)

[The_Amber]

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/CreativeConsumer/story?id=3173435&page=1&Business=true

[tiremonkey2000]

This afternoon at 3:30 super unleaded reached $3.37 at the BP station by work.

[mathmission]

I've been looking online and can't seem to get the real answer. Does anyone know what gas has to hit to become a new record based on the May 1981 prices adjusted for inflation

[mathmission]

We went back down to $3.09/gal

[tiremonkey2000]

Monday morning regular was at $3.09 2 hours later it was down to $3.01 and on the way home from work $2.95. Then middle of week back up to $3.01 then down this weekend to $2.94

[The_Amber]

I paid $3.39 Friday for gas. Seriously, it's like...gas or something nice like say, food. Pissing me right off.

[mathmission]

$2.99/gal

[The_Amber]

You're NOT helping!

[mathmission]

I hope it stays that way before my trip to Chicago.

[tiremonkey2000]

Ours is hanging around $2.97 a gallon

[The_Amber]

3.34 here....still. Chicago's average price is approx $3.47

[mathmission]

In certain spots here also....

[mathmission]

Im headed up to Chicago soon; what's the gas like up there?

[tiremonkey2000]

Here ya go This (http://www.gasbuddy.com/) should work for ya :shakinmonk:

[The_Amber]

Over the weekend Chicago prices were approx $3.30

[Calyxa]

$3.09 here in Boston at the moment. But in the suburbs you can find it for as cheep as $2.78. I'd rather pay more to get it right in town but I don't drive my car much anyhow. I'd rather bike around. It's much more enjoyable and good for the soul. :)

[mathmission]

:hello: hello there Calyxz, nice to see you on the boards! I have a friend that's moving up to Boston soon. Said it's beautiful there.

[mathmission]

$2.79/gal

[NealT]

[tiremonkey2000]

Under $3.00 in some places

[mathmission]

[mathmission]

and down again to 2.69/gal

[tiremonkey2000]

Our gas dropped down to $2.67 - $2.69 just yesterday

[mathmission]

2.59/gal

[SirBillGatesJnrII]

Yes this is too bad, when you can just cover the license number with tape, wear a mask of the president, fill her up and drive away with a screech of burning rubber. This is annoying to a high degree. 456765 degrees in fact.

It's £1 per litre here, and we call chips crisps, forewarned etc.

Seriously, that's 7 dollars per gallon. You are lucky. That's why we all walk, they must mix our petrol with some kind of expensive froggy liquer.

Buy an electric car. Plug into powersupply to charge battery, get laughed at, but save money.

I went to Boston. You have to stay away from the "Blue Oyster", the one from Police Academy.

[mathmission]

Can't find too many electric car dealerships around here. Did hear a funny interview the other day though, of some lady on the west coast who said, and I quote "I'm starting to regret buying a SUV. Who knew it would cost so much to fill it up!"

Jesus Christ.

Anyway, $3.09 and climbing.

Oh well ... time to put that 5% pay rise to good use I guess (LOL)

Yeah it's a global problem. I heard some news all over the world where people were protesting, some were violent, because of unstoppable price hike. 'Twas in India, and the other in some part in Europe...

i think we need a change.

[tiremonkey2000]

Natural gas FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I now ride a bike to and from work, it's only a 25 min. ride but its a lot of fun.
Bought me a new Fuji Nevada 4.0 mountain bike. cost $800.00 cost me $289.00 with tax.

[mathmission]

How'd you pull that off?

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Alaskans suffer nation's highest gasoline prices

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Think you're feeling pain at the gas pump? Consider the residents of Lime Village, Alaska, an isolated Denaina Athabascan Indian community where gasoline prices have hit $8.55 a gallon.

The price is severely curtailing movement around the interior Alaska village, where four-wheelers are sitting idle, said Ursula Graham, administrator for the Lime Village Traditional Council.

"Nobody's going on joy rides, that's for sure," Graham said.
