What are your gas prices like?
As I rode past a gas station today, I noticed that gas was 97 cents/litre here in Ottawa, the Capital of Canada. Now, I don't fill a car, but that got me thinking... 97 cents a litre eh? Let's see some numbers here:
To fill: A small car, 40L = 38,80$ A large car, 60L = 58,20$ A Van/SUV, 80L = 77,60$ A pickup truck, 110L = 106,70$ Okay, now I'm not sure who can afford that, but I know I can't. Oh, and for my American friends, think of this, ~4L = 1 US Gallon, so gas for us here is 3,88$ for just 1 gallon! So, what is gas like in your area? |
1,03$ CAD/litre yesterday in Montreal.

Gas? What's that?

Today in Switzerland I'm paying CHF 1.40 which is the same in Canadian pesos. Ciao for now. |

I guess we're all headed to a dollar/L ... I've noticed in Hull with three digit signs, they just drop the decimal! heh |
this past weekend was out to the inlaws (LaCross, Wi) payed $2.17/gl. when we got back home the same day to Madison, Wi the price was $2.25/gl. the last few day have seen the price pushing $2.30/gl. It is going to suck when I have to fill up again.

When I fill up my Vespa with premium unleaded it is usually around $2.75 a gallon, but I've paid as much as $3 a gallon recently. I'm in Santa Barbara, which usually has the highest or near-highest gas prices in California, which usually has the highest or near-highest gas prices of all the states of the US.
|
Oh yeah, I guess I should mention that was for Regular Low-grade petrol.. I have no idea what the premium costs.. they don't advertise that on the road signs (Probably out of embarrasment!)
|
I havent driven my car in over a month, much less filled it up. I did see a sign around the corner from my house that said $2.25 for regular though.
|
$2.35 for regular and $2.60 for premium here in Wilmington, DE. That's the highest I've ever seen it. I only burn gas on the weekends my girlfriend and I head to the beach so it doesn't really bother me. Certainly doesn't seem to bother the H2 drivers in the area either.
|
It's flucuating between $2.35 and $2.50 a gallon for regular, here in Huntington Beach, CA.
|
$2.25 or so here for regular unleaded. (Lincoln, Neb.)
|
I think i saw a sign for $2.49/gal for 87 here in NYC. I could be off a touch off though, gas signs just aren't something i pay attention too, that whole lack of car combined with the bike and a pretty kick tushie public transportation system and all.
|
About $2.08/gal but looks like it's about to go up a little.
|
I can get diesel for around $2.25/gallon, though its been above $2.40 in the last year. New to town is a biodiesel co-op, where I can get soybean-based fuel for $2.75. I've done 3 tanks of that to no ill effect. Its great stuff!
|
- filled up this a.m. @ US$2.11 per gallon (prices fluctuate between stations in my area, so during the same day, one can find unleaded regular at up to $0.15 more per gallon)
|
$2.43/gal in my town (chazy, NY)
$2.25/gal in vermont where I buy it. |
$2.39 a gallon for regular downtown, probably $0.10 +/- less a little further out.
|
Gas prices? Don't know, don't care. I just hope the price of PB&J doesn't go through the roof--that's my fuel!
|
It was $2.25 on wednesday night, $2.49 on Thursday morning.
|
I really dont care how much it costs as long as it is available.
Remember gas lines and violence while waiting? Sides last time I went to store milk was 3.50$ per and water was close to 5.00$ per but I drink it from the tap for free, tastes the same |

It's $2.39 here in Athens, OH. It was $2.18 two days ago. Though my parents pay for gas, I stopped driving cause I can get just about anywhere I need to go in my area in just about the same time on my bike. Maybe a 5-10minute time penalty. I get a little sweaty, burn a few calories and get a little work out but who cares? I save [my parents] $20-30 a week. Justified them purchasing me a messenger bag.

Here in France, gas is going for 1.30 euro a liter for super. To give people living stateside an idea how lucky you are to have cheap gas, that would be about $5.80 a gallon at the current exchange rate. My last fill up came to more than 70 euros in my car... hopefully this will be the last. I am selling it and going all bike or train.
