Gas Prices

[indra]

A couple weeks ago I paid $1.11 per gallon here. I did have 50 cents off per gallon with my grocery store card to get that price, but I was thrilled anyway.

 

[the tourist]

It is. And just a few hours ago, I paid 70 cents per litre.

A gallon is like 3.7 litres, right? So when I pay 1.70 for gas, it's like about 45 cents per litre?

holy fuck.

holy fuck.

I blinked a couple of times when I saw it just to make sure I was seeing it correctly. I haven't seen that kind of price in years.

Last week I purposely waited until my tank got to E before filling up so I could see how much I'd spend on a full tank. $20.36! I was shocked! I don't remember what I paid per gallon but I was more than happy with pay $20 bucks for a full tank of gas since this summer I paid over $40.

Most I paid last summer=$49
What I paid on Sunday=$20

It's $1.44 in South Jersey.

Jersey is always one of the cheapest!

A barrel of oil closed just above $36 today. It got to $149 this summer.

 

[lauramullen]

Mine cost $20.00 to fill when it was on E

 

[Lila64]

$1.739

I drove by today. I believe it was actually $1.79 yesterday and today is was $1.83. WTF? Oil was supposed to be down. Every day for the last month or two I'd drive by the corner station and the gas price would be down from the previous day. So today I'm a little pissed off about it, especially since everyone else is paying much less. Damn California!

Washington's not too much cheaper....

 

[Carek1230]

I paid $1.57/gal at an ARCO station here in San Diego last Friday and the same station was $1.79/gal today. I agree with Lila, WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lauramullen]

They went up fast out in Cali.

Yeah.

There's a website where you can convert price per litre in Canadian dollars to price per US gallon in US dollars.

[Mr. BAW]

I can fill up both my cars for under $60 combined...at its highest, it would take $72 for the Trailblazer alone!!!

I think the price hike, albeit small, is due to the upcoming holiday plus the fact that you live near a main interstate where people will need to get gas and go...(translation ONLY SLIGHT gouging!)


JMO!

 

[Lila64]

Well I'm not right off the 101 or anything, but still. It used to drop anywhere from 3-8 cents daily. It was still $1.83 this morning I remember filling up over the summer and it was like $50. I was stunned.

 

[Kiki]

I just calculated it, at 70 cents per litre where I am in Canada, that's equal to $2.20 US$ per US gallon. We're still getting screwed.

holy cow that is expensive---for what gas is going for now.

 

[anitram]

The best part is that Canada has the most oil after the Saudis.

 

[arw]

I'm in Minneapolis right now and it's $1.59. It was $1.47 in Phoenix this afternoon. My dad said the difference is due to the "winter mix" of fuel.

 

[Carek1230]

I filled up tonite and it was $1.75/gal for reg unleaded. WTF? Prices crawling back up again?

 

[cydewaze]

$1.57 for regular yesterday.

Carek: They might be climbing again because OPEC cut production (I think).

 

[Lila64]

still $1.83 here today

 

[Lila64]

Let me correct that. It's now $1.91

 

[Lila64]

Our corner station has been $1.95 for about 2-3 weeks now Usually he's quite competitive. There was one period when all the stations nearby were LESS than his pricing, even the station across the street (which is unheard of!). Those guys are back to $2.03.

 

[lauramullen]

$1.47 in South Jersey. They were $1.36 last week.

 

[Thora]

Before I left on vacation in mid-Dec, it was around 76 cents/litre at most gas stations in my area. This morning I noticed it was back up to 89 cents. Hopefully it will go back down before my next fill-up.

 

[cydewaze]

I'm honestly expecting $4.50/gal again once the weather warms up. Now that they've found out that they can get away with it, it'll be the new norm. $4.50/gal in the summer, then $1.50 in the winter to cool everyone's jets - until the next summer.

I agree, cydewaze--just because they *can*!

A week ago, it was $1.36 here in central Indiana. By last Friday, it was $1.59. Monday it was $1.83. Today it is $1.99. WTF, indeed!

 

[Angela Harlem]

Last time I filled up it was 94.7c a litre. This was E10 and I had to use a voucher, but a tank is lasting me 2 weeks at the moment. I love going days without driving anywhere.

I'm gonna start on the premium now that it's so much cheaper.

 

[the tourist]

Went from $1.71 to $1.94 in the three and a half hours I was at school today.
