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.

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.

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.

Sovereign 2005-08-30 07:41 PM

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 2005-08-30 07:45 PM

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 2005-08-30 08:34 PM

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

Armageddon is upon us.

HandOfHeaven 2005-08-30 09:17 PM

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

Sovereign 2005-08-30 09:58 PM

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..

Lenny 2005-08-31 02:30 AM

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!

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 2005-08-31 10:08 AM

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 2005-08-31 01:13 PM

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 2005-08-31 02:38 PM

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 2005-08-31 03:36 PM

In Toronto, gas prices are now at:

$1.20 per litre.

OR

Approximately: $4.54 per gallon
