[CLSSY56]

And the cheapest price of gas in the U.S. is Winnsboro, LA @ $1.81 today.

[Tuned55]

We are a long ways off of Winnsboro, LA :cool:

[CLSSY56]

It's in Columbia, MO @ $1.79 today. That's alot closer, but not worth the 2 hour trip :)

[prostreet]

Low Grade in our area ranges from 2.29 a gallon and up cant wait till it drops I need to fill my big tank in my dually the one in my bed is 80 gallons and I stick some in a little at a time . :o

[Wanabe]

Cool gas price site

thanks

[prostreet]

[trifive]

1.66 gallon in portland, texas today.

[1quick57]

1.66 gallon in portland, texas today.

$2.29 in Bradford County, PA. Because of the dictatorship of Williams Oil Company and the Dandy Mini Marts, gas prices will NEVER get that cheap up here! Keep hearing the 'Supply and Demand' bullcrap.

It is just someone lining their pockets!

Large oil companies like Exxon, etc. had $5 to $7 BILLION PROFITS in 1 quarter. NOT 1 year, but 1 quarter (3 months time). That is what I call PRICE GOUGING (the s0n5-@-b!tch3s).

(stepping off the soap box now....:mad: )

[1957chevy]

I paid $2.699 today for regular unleaded in Tequesta, Florida -- not the cheapest around, but it's close to the going rate around here.

[prostreet]

Here in Danville Pa. they are $2.57 for regular

[MikeKy55]

2.65 rep gallon here for regular.

[chevman57]

Looks like the average here today is 2.63 gal.

[JWB]

San Diego today = $2.79 for 87oct per Gal.:mad:

[orangecrush]

In Rhode Island today regular is $279.9

[1957chevy]

On the news last night they said the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded in the Palm Beach County are reached $2.859 and is expected to reach $3.00 real soon!

[daves57]

2.79 89 octane ouch!!!!:mad:

[mokicruz]

The oil companies have gone from 4.5 cents profit per gallon to 8.5 cents. They are going to investigated for price gouging. The Federal Government gets 18 cents tax the state get 25 to 30 cents tax. The the gas station see crude prices raise so they raise prices to pay for the replacement cost so they aren't caught with fuel to expensive to sell when competition lowers the price again. Banks earn an average of 16.8% and processed food 24%. Utilities are are always the lowest profit margin services nearly all are under the interest rates at the bank. When the interest rate raises the have to raise prices so inflation doesn't take up the profits. Prices never Go Down Because the government continually adjusts interest ,the way to control inflation, to reduce the the Value of the national debt. We are up to 2.78 for regular.:eek:

[1957chevy]

So, are you saying that the oil companies are actually good guys and we should stop complaining about their billion dollar profits? Just curious, it was hard to tell from your post if you're supporting the outrageous profits or just explaining that other businesses and governments get even more so what the oil companies get in comparison is small?! If that's your point, this is if you're trying to make a point (you might not be), then you should compare apples to apples -- tell us what you mean by the banks earn and average of 16.8% and processed food 24%. Are you saying that the banks get a profit of 16.8% as compared to the oil company's profits of 8.5 cents per gallon? I'm confused, obviously 8)

[tony55]

In New Zealand we are paying $1.71 per litre for 91 octane. Times that by 3.78 to get 1 US gallon makes it $6.46 NZ for a gallon. With the current exchange rate of 63 cents, that makes it about $4.07 US for a gallon of our cheapest fuel or $4.19 for premium. I might move to the US of A to live!!!!!!

[ETriggs]

Gas is finally going down! It is $2.23/87 octane here in Phenix City, Alabama

[Slightly Altered]

$1.96 gal. for low grade I45 and FM 1960 Houston TX:D

[dseale4888]

I heard that this is just a temporary respite and that after elections the price will go back up. Those poor oil companies are only making record profits for the past 4 years. Profit= after all expenses.
Dave

[Gene H Smith]

In the Los Angeles area, the low price found is $2.45----$2.79 for regular.
As always, we pay more than anywhere else.

Gene

[dseale4888]

I heard $2.07 today.
Dave

[ETriggs]

$2.05 in Columbus, Ga

[debus@earthlink.net]

supply and demand plus oil trades on the commodities market (futures) with hundreds of traders bidding up and down the price. Also the many pension funds investing in oil futures over the past year that caused the price to spike. Another factor is China and India's increased thirst for oil. Not to mention OPEC, which by the way, just announced a reduction in oil production. So the cheap gas we are presently experiencing may be short lived although it could hold fairly steady until spring or early summer.

Bottom line.....neither Democrats nor Republicans can control the price of oil although it's been tried by past administrations by using price controls which never work. OPEC is the closest thing to any "government" controlling oil prices. That said, I just read that Saudi Arabia may kick up their daily production, ignoring OPEC's decision to cut production. So maybe gas prices will stay down for awhile. Time will tell.:)

[debus@earthlink.net]

:rolleyes: Saudi Arabia IS going to cut production but not by as much as first announced. Gas prices should remain steady as there is a five year high of world wide oil (in storage) right now.

[PaPa Mike]

still hovering around 2.06 in Eastern NC

[1957chevy]

I saw 2.369 today in Jupiter, FL -- i.e. the prices are still out of this world!

[ETriggs]

$2.03 in Phenix City, Alabama, less in Columbus Ga, probably about $1.99

[1957chevy]

Seems like gas in Florida starts highest in the south and gets lower as you go north toward Georgia -- sometimes it can be as much as fifty cents lower.

[ETriggs]

Well, it is about $2.30 in Cheyenne Wyo. and they have a refinery there in town. Gotta love transportation costs.. LOL!!

[Ontario55]

$2.089 per gallon in southeastern Mass. 10/23/06. Friday and Saturday I hit the same station in N.J. and it was $1.989. Prices going down the east coast were 2.08 in Ma., 2.15 in R.I., 2.429 in Ct.,. I was surprized as N.C. prices were hogher than Ma.

[PaPa Mike]

already going back up 1 day after elections, jumped .07 per gallon in Winterville, NC today. from 2.069 to 2.139.

[41willys]

In Western Kentucky gas today was $2.089

[PaPa Mike]

back to 207.9 in eastern NC

[1957chevy]

The prices seem to be tapering off. The news reported last night that the national average was around 2.23 and here in South Florida it's hard to find gas any cheaper than 2.29 although it is possible at a few stations here and there.

[Doug Harrell]

Good Morning the Gas in Churchville Md is $2.06 but you can drive 5 miles and it can be as high as $2.18.

[ETriggs]

:mad: Back up to $2.049 in Auburn, Alabama... Grrrrr!

[PaPa Mike]

Still hold at 2.079 in eastern NC:confused:

[dseale4888]

$2.119 this morning. Elections over now they will go back up.
Dave

[PaPa Mike]

We've got a new competitor in our town, (Sheetz), making all the local distributors drop their prices so we're actually running a little cheaper in our area now where before we were 5-10 cents higher. When they opened upabout 2 months ago the gas dropped 30 cents and has only gone back up 10 cents. Local guys were brothers so they thought they had us sewed up.

[Motorama]

Just be glad you dont live in the UK. Gas prices here are the dollar equivalant of $8 a gallon!

[1957chevy]

Gas in Georgia is still some of the lowest I saw on my road trip from Florida to Wisconsin. Some stations were under $2 per gallon.

$8 per gallon is unthinkable!

[dcatlin]

gas in upstate NewYork high grade 3:05 a gallon WELCOME TO LAKEGEORGE!

[Chevynut]

The oil companies have gone from 4.5 cents profit per gallon to 8.5 cents. They are going to investigated for price gouging. The Federal Government gets 18 cents tax the state get 25 to 30 cents tax.

So who's really doing the gouging? :rolleyes:

[dseale4888]

Average in southern Massachusetts is around $2.55 to $2.60 for the cheap grade.
Dave

[ETriggs]

Up to $2.479 a gallon here.

[57 sedan delivery]

Everything here has gone up, gas is at least $2.65 and diesel is $2.99 in some places.

[dseale4888]

Up to $2.65 today. They're getting in a hurry now to get the price up for the summer season.
Dave

[ETriggs]

If work/school wasn't 55/35 miles away, I would ride a bike or something.

[prostreet]

We've gone from 2.45.9 to 2.69.9 in just 2 weeks. looks like were heading for 3.00 . So what is there excuse now ?? Oh wait I forgot they don't need one :eek:

[ETriggs]

Most are saying Iran, but we don't get that much oil from Iran (at least I don't think we do) to cause it to go up this much.

[57 sedan delivery]

Most are saying Iran, but we don't get that much oil from Iran (at least I don't think we do) to cause it to go up this much.

We don't get any from Iran but they are the cause..they 'captured' some Brit sailors/marines and are holding them hostage. It is believed that IF something were to happen in Iran becasue of this the surrounding sand dunes will rise up and cut off their oil supplies in support of Iran.

[dseale4888]

They just have that right to gouge the general public and none of our elected officials will do anything about it. Probably they all have been given stock in the oil companies by now. Oh, did I say that?
Dave

[Ontario55]

Hey
Drive up to Ontario Canada
Beside a light snow over the last 2 days here in South Western Ontario we can buy our gas at $1.00
Jealous ?
Don't be ,thats $1.00 a litre and theres 4.54 litres to a gallon
Usually on long weekends the price of gas jumps by a minimum of .10 a litre
For whatever reason they didn't hike the price this weekend
Later

[Gene H Smith]

I live in the Los Angeles area. The gas prices around here range form $3.30 to $3.50 per gal. The gas at the Chevron oil refinery is always the highest. There are 6 Oil refinerys within 15 miles of my home.

Gene

[dseale4888]

I think it is running about $2.75 and up for 87 octane.
Dave

[1957chevy]

Anybody notice that the man next to the gas pump in the first post in this thread (by Otis) seems to be flipping the bird? Probably just slipped in unnoticed, huh?


Gas here is right around three bucks a gallon.

[Chevynut]

I've been reading that they expect $4 this summer. I just drove to Denver this afternoon, and up I80 to Roseville CA this evening.....nobody's slowing down and the highways are still packed. It's going to take $5-6 or more gas before people start driving less, IMO.

[gene56]

It's going down here 2.59 today. Gas prices are getting like the weather.

[1957chevy]

Gas sure is cheap in OK! I'd suspect it's pretty low in North Florida/Southern Georgia right now, too. Never understood that phenomena but it's always cheaper up there.

[gene56]

All i have to do is fill up to make it drop, it was 2.89 a couple days ago; We are always under the national average. Tulsa has 2 or 3 refineries and several oil fields. There are wells a mile from my house. Shipping cost and cost of living in some areas would have to be a factor. Gene

[townsman0]

Well here in the Netherlands its $2 per liter thats almost $8 the gallon but i dont run petrol but LPG (propane) this is $2.61 per gallon but the good thing is we get 95 or 98 petrol.Gr Townsman0

[57viper]

Good grief we here in northern California just dropped to 2.99 at Costco, most other stations are still up around 3.30 for regular and last I heard Gas was pushing 4.00 in SanFrancisco, but it's still cheaper than Starbucks.
Bob

[ETriggs]

It is below $2.81 a gallon in Alabama

[56-210sedan]

$2.96 here what a bargain:rolleyes: cant wait until a alternative fuel puts gasoline to bed.

In New Zealand ATM it's $US4.23 a US Gallon for 91 octane & $US4.37 a US Gallon for 95 octane. (converted at $NZ0.70 per $US).

Gadzooks! It is $2.51 a gallon still in OCTOBER! I can't wait to see what it is in December. :rolleyes:

[rayray]

2.85 for diesel at the local Kroger. About 2 miles up the road diesel is 3.09. Go figure tdi

Gas is between 2.87 and 3.05.

[Chevynut]

Don't you wish we could still buy it for the prices at the beginning of this thread?

I was hearing on the radio a while ago that oil is more likely to go back to $45/bbl than to go to $100/bbl. It was at $83 at the time. More productions is opening up, Canadian oil sands are producing, alternative energy is being pursued (solar, bio-diesel, ethanol, etc.), nuclear power plants being planned in USA and China....all will drive the price of oil down over time. Some day the Arabs will be drowning in it. LOL!

[dseale4888]

$2.579 for 87 octain this morning in Southeastern Mass.
Dave

[574dhtcacar]

[ScottyB]

$2.57 gas / $2.95 diesel.

[stillz 55]

$294 this morning.Price jumps around weekly,from the 270 range to $300.

[Chevynut]

Sounds like the guy who said $45 is more likely than $100 per barrel of oil was wrong. :rolleyes: It's not hit $100 yet, but close. A big part of it is the weak dollar, though.

Wow, $300 a gallon for gas? :D :D :D

[Shua57]

$4.99 for the first gallon and free after that, unless you already have a piece of garden hose then it's $3.99 for the gas can.:D:D:D:D
Josh

[ETriggs]

$2.89 here is the cheapest.

[mic55hael]

The gas prices in Fresno Ca. is 3.46 per gallon for unleaded regular, that is if you shop around. One of the local t.v. station has a link to the cheapest gas
and location on a given day..
The weather has been in the 60s so it's too nice not to go for a drive..

Hi

Dont move to Sweden, right now we pay 7,23 USD per Gallontdi

And today i read that the Government is planning to raise the tax on gasoline with 40% until 2020.:eek::eek::eek:

[keith]

Low is $3.10, high is $3.29. Ridiculous.:mad:

[Belairmark]

In England Gas is £1.06 per litre

That's $2.10 per litre and there are 4.65 litres to a GB gallon (which is slightly bigger than yours!

Try that for size on a 200 mile round trip last weekend for the Rock and Roll weekender!

[1957chevy]

Gas prices in Europe are steep to say the least! I hate the fact that gas has crept up to $3.30 a gallon with no signs of it ever going back down. Honda announced the release of a hydrogen fueled car to be available in southern california next summer and plans to make a fueling station available that will convert natural gas to hydrogen fuel right in your own garage. We all know that these 'new' technologies are never made available until it's cost-effective for the auto companies, so I guess gas prices have zoomed up high enough that they think they can get us to drive alternate fuel cars even if they cost a lot to lease/buy, etc. Sad state of affairs! Mean while the Saudis, etc. are buying up our country.....

[ETriggs]

I have a 2004 Nissan Frontier daily driver and since my round-trip distance to work is 110 miles, it eats me alive. I spend $230-$250 a month on gasoline.

I just paid $89 to fill my Duramax truck up tonight. I say NUKE the Arab baztards! Withhold food from them since they extort money out of us for oil......make 'em pay to eat!

[ETriggs]

Gas prices going down! Just in time for the college semester to end and I won't drive anywhere near as much! :mad: Watch, the prices will go up on January 7th when the new semester starts! It is $2.81 a gallon here now.

[Chevynut]

The reason gas is so expensive in Europe has nothing to do with the cost of the gasoline, it's the taxes they choose to impose on themselves ;). They have decided over the years to pay for their social programs, roads, and most everything else with a gas tax (not that everyone there agrees with it ;)). We pay for those things in other ways like sales tax, property taxes, and income taxes. I wouldn't be surprised if the total taxes we pay are close to the same as theirs....not that I agree with it. :D :D

I have the same mileage to work except I drive a 1996 GMC K1500 extended cab (I love my 350 Vortec) and I spend around $520 a month not including my wife driving the Tahoe. Talk about ripping a hole in my wallet. Just think of all the parts I could buy....

My 2003 Chevy Duramax gets 20 MPG AROUND TOWN! I get around 23 on long trips...not bad for a 7000 pound vehicle ;). If I don't go on trips I drive around 26 miles a day to/from work and about 800-1000 miles a month. So I think I spend $150-200 a month on diesel at $3.50 a gallon (ridiculous). My Boxster S gets about the same mileage hotrodding around town, but 29 on the highway. I don't drive it in the winter, though, and only put about 3-4000 miles a year on it...mostly local. :D

My other cars just sit.... :eek:

I bought a 96 Geo tracker when it was 1.60 now it is 3.09 the other ones are 3.14 I-75 passes right thru the egde of town so that makes it a little higher here, But anyway i had 1/4 tank so i stopped and it took $22.70 to fill it up and it has a 11 gallon tank on it and gets about 27MPG not to bad thats with A/C and a auto trans.

[Chevy57Ray]

In Quebec Canada, Regular sales at $1.20/liter X 3.89 liter per US gal = $4.67 Gal. & Canadian dollard is equal to US dollard by these days. It is still cheaper to buy it in the State when we ride by.

[ScottyB]

Sons of a guns have diesel up to 3.59 here too. People used to wonder why I would want a diesel now they are starting to get it. 48MPG/700+ miles per tank is pretty nice :tu

There is a whole web community around these little cars too but its no where near the class of the guys here on this site.

We got a little moped that does 35MPH tops and gets around 70-80MPG my dad says if gas gets any higher he is going to ride it to work.

I was feeling bad about 3.33 for regular until I read about what you guys down under pay but don't worry mates our congress is trying to raise the price here as well, I'm afraid the arabs could give the stuff away and the prices would still go up thanks to our government, this election coming up is sooo important please think long and hard before you mark your ballots, one side wants to own you lock, stock and Chevy.
Bob

[Chevynut]

I was feeling bad about 3.33 for regular until I read about what you guys down under pay

A lof of the cost of fuel in other countries is due to their own taxation, not the cost of the fuel. They have chosen to fund their government that way, instead of through other types of taxes. In the end, they get it from all of us one way or another. :mad:

Well here in the Netherlands its $2 per liter thats almost $8 the gallon but i dont run petrol but LPG (propane) this is $2.61 per gallon but the good thing is we get 95 or 98 petrol.Gr Townsman0

That shows that a large part of the increase we're seeing in the US is due to the drop in the US$, not in the inherent prices going up. Oil prices are going up in dollars for the same reason....weak dollar. If the dollar gets back to where it was a few years ago, oil will drop significantly.

Prices here in Denmark seem to be stuck above the "magic" :rolleyes: 10 bucks mark, currently hovering at DKK 10.50 per Litre. That's about $2.10 for 0.264172 gallon, or $7.95 per gallon.
... and that's with the deflated dollar rate. We're used to paying over DKK 7 for a $, but now it's down below 4.75 ... I can't explain to my wife that I can't afford to not buy a Chevy right away. ;):D

Keep in mind that in Europe, they pay a lot of the taxes to fund their socialism through a high gas tax. So the cost of their gas includes a LOT of tax. They choose to do it that way. ;)

Your right we pay about 74% tax, and we don't choose to do it this way but the gready politicions (spelling?) and the magic words "environment" and "greenhouse".

Alex

Yeah, Alex, but you vote those "gready politicions" ;) into office just like we do here in the US.:rolleyes: We've gotta stop doing that somehow. :D They promise us everything, and deliver nothing.

We do need to try to protect our environment but I think in a couple decades the world will see how overblown this "global warming" hysteria really was. Again, it's all greed and politics.

[ETriggs]

With oil now over $110 a barrel, it is only going to get worse at the pump. But it actually makes sense. But, getting back on the price of gas, it has jumped 5 cents in the past 48 hours here. Now averaging $3.20 a gallon

[dseale4888]

$3.07 t0 $3.20 here, but in Conn I hear it's close to $3.50.
Dave

[wayne55]

I bought fuel today and i paid $5.13/gal. A Canadian or imperial gallon is 4.5 liters. This results in a slightly larger gallon than the US gallon. We've been told to get ready for $7.00/gal prices in mid summer.

[dseale4888]

Our wonderful politicians who are supposed to protect our interests are to busy worrying about spygate in football and steroids in baseball than why the cost of oil is going sky high and the oil companies are posting record/record profits. If they are reinvesting it in searching for more oil it is not profits, but a tax deduction.

Big wheel? Come on, get with the times (oops -- wrong forum! :p) Actually, I've had my eye on a Leitra (http://leitra.dk/news.php) bike for quite some time. I figure, if you're gonna use for actual home-to-work transport, you'd want something with a roof, and a trunk, and equally comfy summer and winter. ;) (I'm actually being serious here.) My daily drive is about 26km=16miles (each way) so biking aint realistic for me :p but if we ever move closer then I would definitely consider it as a "second car" (my wife works in the opposite direction, and I've already ranted about car prices so I won't this time :D).

$1.11 here in South Western Ontario

It's $3.31 here in NW Illinois. So much for the big block and 4 speed in the 55 when I get it done, maybe a fuel injected 350 and overdrive!!!:mad:

[1957chevy]

Does all your regular unleaded gas have 10% ethanol in Illinois?

I heard on the news last night that the average for a gallon in my area (West Palm Beach) is $3.40, but I can't seem to find any gas under $3.50.

Tina, you're kidding yourself if you believe that. :rolleyes: E85 gasoline only has about 90,660 BTU/gallon since it's 85% ethanol. At $2.49 per gallon you are paying $.027465 per 1000 BTU.

Regular gasoloine has 125,000 BTU per gallon. So you are paying the equivalent of $3.433 per gallon of regular gas.

If regular gas in your area is $3.12 it would only cost you $.02496 per 1000 BTU.

The higher the BTUs the more miles per gallon. So until regular gas gets to $3.43 it will be cheaper to use than E85. Don't let the low price of E85 fool you.

What does the finland dollar convert to in U.S. dollars? If it's close, we've got it good here! I did just recently hear in the news that the canadian dollar is now worth more than the U.S. dollar.

Gidaver, you can't compare prices straight across to Europe. They charge very high taxes on their "petrol" to pay for their social programs. It's not just the price of the fuel that they're paying for. We pay a gas tax for our roads, but it's small in comparison.

as usual, chevynut is correct again. i know there is a no politics thing on this site so i'll keep it general. just wait and see how bad fuel prices are in November if we retreat out of Iraq (green light for Iran) and start national health care and other marxist and socialist programs. :(

Is it usual over there in the States for diesel to be dearer than petrol? Here it's always been cheaper, however, diesel powered vehicles have to pay Road User Charges(just another tax) that petrol vehicles don't. Petrol here at the moment= NZ$1.87 LITRE for 95 octane.

[1957chevy]

I don't drive a diesel, but I do know that a while ago diesel was quite a bit cheaper than non-diesel but now it's flip-flopped. I don't know why.

Regular unleaded here is not $3.49 per gallon.

Looking at the first page gas has doubled in the last two years... Has it ever moved that much that quickly in the past? I think something is going on, like some companies are getting gready and want more money from every one of us...

[Chevynut]

Klaymen, we discussed before that a lot of your gas price is tax, and now when you translate it to the weak US dollar, it's actually much higher. How much has your gas price increased in LOCAL currency in the past year?

[1957chevy]

I paid $3.59 in Titusville yesterday and see that it's more like $3.79 or higher in West Palm Beach. It's hard to pay off the gas card each month at this rate.

[auggie56]

3.59 Regular. 4.15 Diesel, In good old Toledo. This always puzzled me, why in South Toledo, is the price higher than in West Toledo ? Usually four to five cents difference. Been that way since I was a kid. Transportation?

[KlaymenDK]

How much has your gas price increased in LOCAL currency in the past year?
About a year ago, I could sometimes find prices as low as 8.70/L, now I'll be lucky to find anything under 10.60/L (more likely, it'll be at or over 11/L). So that's at least a 22% (more like 27%) increase, which is directly reflected in my monthly gas usage. Basic food is going up, too, but that's off topic for this thread.

Looking back in this thread it looks like our gas was roughly $2.50 a year ago, and now it''s roughly $3.60. That's a 44% increase in a year. :eek: In fact, someone said it was $2.50 at their location as late as last October.:rolleyes:

I still say we should form OFEC, the Organization of Food Exporting Countries to show OPEC that they aren't the only ones with a valuable commodity. Once they're hungry, maybe they'll bring prices down. :mad::rolleyes:

Price comparisons are not all created equal. Comparing gas prices across nations is always difficult. For starters, the AIRINC numbers don't take into account different salaries in different countries, or the different exchange rates. The dollar has lost considerable ground to the euro recently. Because oil is priced in dollars, rising oil prices aren't as hard on people paying with currencies which are stronger than the dollar, as they can essentially buy more oil with their money as the dollar falls in value.

And then there's the varying distances people drive, the public transportation options available, and the different services people get in exchange for high gas prices. For example, Europe's stronger social safety net, including cheaper health care and higher education, is paid for partly through gas taxes.

Just like to say we pay 1.729 per litre for diesel which is $6.53 per US gallon and 1.529 for unleaded which is $5.78 per US gallon.
It costs me $600.00 to fill my truck for work now, when this time last year it was about $420.00 which is all out of my pocket.
The company that I subcontract to was generous enough(ha ha still laughing) to give me a 1.5% rise in my fuel levy which is about $25-$30 dollars a week extra to do their work. The other $150.00 I have to pay for not to mention 10 hrs less work a week over the last year as well.
Lucky I own my truck in one more payment and then I will be selling it and getting a real job with paid holidays and sick pay. Can`t wait to ring my boss one morning and tell him that I can`t work there anymore as I have sold my truck. Chris.

[1957chevy]

Actually there are pockets in the US where gas is cheap, comparatively so. In Norther Florida and Souther Georgia the prices are typically 50 cents or more lower than around here (South Florida). Prices here are now at or above four bucks a gallon, and I heard on the news the other night that gas in London is as much as ten dollars a gallon.

[Chevynut]

and I heard on the news the other night that gas in London is as much as ten dollars a gallon.

It depends on how you look at it;). "Gas price" in England includes a heck of a lot of taxes. So the gas isn't what's expensive, it's the taxes that keep going up as the price of gas goes up. I know that's somewhat semantics, but there are protests over in England right now over the "green taxes" on their gas. These people are taxing themselves to death...

While Europe has led the way in using tax incentives to encourage people to buy low-emission cars and to build carbon-neutral houses in order to meet Kyoto targets, it has become increasingly apparent that inflation-battered voters are no longer willing to go along.

No problem...I said it was somewhat semantics;). But I can't sympathize much with the Europeans and their outrageous gas prices. They did it unto themselves by electing to pay for their social programs and "green" policies with gas taxes. It's not even logical to try to compare their gas prices to ours because of that....that was my main point. We pay our taxes through other means.:rolleyes:

i'm from san diego and i saw the gas price at the arco station equivalent to the 76 and chevron gas prices. as far as i recall even up to say 10 years ago the chevron and 76 were normally 15-20 cents higher than the cheap arco gas. and now they are battling to have a higher price. i thought that was a little out of control. when the cheap gas station is having a higher price than the normally expensive company, yeah, please tell me again how this bolshevism is going on.

To put things in perspective I had to think back to the year 1973 when I graduated high school. Still living at home my main budget concern was .....

Gas for my 68 Camaro -----39 cents a gallon
My minimum wage job paid $1.60 hr. approximately 1/4 of my hourly salary went to buy a gallon of gas...........

Do the math.........Minimum wage would need to be $16.00 per hour today !!!!

And to think the present time might be " The good old days " in the future for our kids and grandkids. :eek:

I don't think you can compare minimum wages over the years...they have been kept low by the ********** even as average wages have increased. Look at average wages and you'll get a more believable comparison. The average annual pay in 1973 was $7580 and in 2006 it was $38651. In 1981 it was $13773.

http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/AWI.html

Also, if you compare to the gas prices of the early 80's to those today, you'll get a little different perspective. Gas is still not all that much more expensive compared to those times.

In 1981 gas was $2.77 in 2004 dollars. In 2004 gas was $1.79. The 1981 price in 2008 dollars is probably something like $3.12 per gallon (assuming 3% inflation).

http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/900836_gasoline_prices.pdf

So while we're paying more now, it's still not that far out of line, considering that this is probably a "bubble" that will burst before long. Speculation is driving a lot of this, not only supply and demand. Look at what happened to stock prices when the dotcom speculation bubble burst. :eek:

Another thing to consider is that gasoline, for most people, is a fairly small part of their monthly budget. And while it's getting to be a bigger part, inflation on the whole doesn't seem to be that bad based on recent reports.

I was driving in the mountains to my son's wedding last weekend.....not many people seem to be concerned about the price of gas. There were hundreds of people in town and in the canyon just driving around. :rolleyes:

I see just as many large vehicles now as I did before, I call the street where I park next to the school where I work "battleship row" from all the Tahoes and Expeditions. I believe people in south O.C. are somewhat insulated from gas price changes, but I have heard people complaining about the rising cost.

I saw an article recently online that the average percentage of income dedicated to fuel is now at 4%. Below the 4.5% it was in 1981, but high from a historical perspective. What is unfortunate is the effect on lower income households, where the fuel bills from people surveyed in the rural south ran an average of 13%.

Our family at one point just two years ago had our Nomad, a Durango Hemi (13 mpg in a good week) and a Tundra Double Cab (same). Now I drive an '06 Accord (23-24 mpg) and my wife replaced her Durango with a Honda Odyssey (high teens). When my lease is up on my Accord and the Nomad is (hopefully) finished, I'll replace the Accord with a Mini Cooper (high 20s/low 30s) and drive the Nomad when I need to carry something big.

Now, as people fly by me in their big SUVs, I think to myself, "I'd rather put my money into my car, rather than into my car's tank". Then I catch up to them at the next light and smile. Then they take off, and I catch up to them at the next light and smile. For miles and miles.:)

Gas in New Zealand has just gone to NZ$2.07/liter for 91octane RON and NZ$2.12/liter for 95octane RON. A US$ buys NZ$1.30 at the moment so in your terms it would be US$10.77 & US$11.02 respectively per US gallon.
In terms of percentage of fuel cost to family income, it's around 5%.
My attitude is to hold fast and hope things get better, I see guys offloading their V8 cars for Toyotas and they take such a big hit, it makes me laugh at how much gas you could buy with the big hit.

[1957chevy]

Gas here is no longer available for under $4.00 and is going up at the rate of one or two cents per day! The increase in the price is what's hurting us, not that actual price. What I mean is that when any expense doubles in such a short time, it hits the pocketbook real hard unless it's something that can be done away with, not like gas which is a necessity. It would be nice if we could just up and move closer to work until the higher price finds a more comfortable place in our personal budgets, but that's just not possible, especially with the depressed real estate market that we have right now.

I'm also going to hold fast and wait for things to get better. I've already downsized to two cars, both 4 cylinder ones that get 30 mpg (plus the 57, of course!) and will continue to drive fuel efficient cars like I started to do in 1975 when I went from gas guzzling V8s to higher mpg cars.

We must rethink our transportation concepts just like we did in the mid-70s, nothing more, nothing less. We'll get through this, we always do, it's just going to hurt for a while.

3.99 to 4.07 Today in NW Ohio. Diesel 4.49.

$4.09 in my area, you might do a little better if you shop around some but not much savings to be had out there. The 9 cents came by the way of a voted in tax increase for road improvements that took place long before people ever imagined these prices would hit like they are now. I hate to sound negative here but i do not think the price of petroleum will ever come down.

Hi, Could you figure why the gaz when up a dollar per gallon in the last 3-4 months. Who is killing the economy with that crap' profit... Sorry to be mean.

I just got back from a 1500+ mile trip to New Mexico and paid anywhere from $4.65 to $4.95 per gallon for diesel. I got about 22+ mpg.

One thing for sure....the high prices aren't keeping many people off the roads. We saw hundreds of huge RVs that probably get 5 mpg if you're lucky. There were people driving everywhere. People complain, but that's about all.

Marty, you're a pessimist. ;) I believe gas prices will drop significantly over the next couple of years, and even further over the next 5-10 years. This is a phony market, driven a lot by speculation in the oil markets. Even the Saudi shieks don't believe there is a supply problem. All we need is a event that scares the speculators off. Alalysts have stated that the supply-demand driven price of oil is about $70 per barrel, or half the current market price.

Never say never. The price of oil and gasoline plunged after the 70's and 80's "oil crisis", when people were predicting high oil was here to stay :rolleyes: IMO, it's no different now...just the next generation of fools.

I hope you're right Lazlo, sure seems logical to me.

Well gas sure isn't coming down in the Farm belt community I paid $4.129 yesterday and diesel is 4.88. Don't know what off road diesel is but will probably find out before the day is over as the tractor is showing empty last night. I live is S. E . Kansas and their not about to lower prices in the middle of wheat harvest:mad: It's kinda like the gas prices going up over the holiday weekend

$3.84 in Auburn, AL.

[1957chevy]

$4.09 in West Palm Beach, FL -- and that's the lowest price I can find, many stations are closer to $4.19 :(

[56-210sedan]

Average is $4.19 now, you can shop and maybe get down from there some.

Laszlo, you are correct i do now have a negative outlook on the prices, i have tried for quiet a while now to stay positive and focused on the fact that it can not last forever. But now the prices are effecting me more then it did earlier so i guess that has caused me to be negative. Looking at your outlook helps me out to get back on track and believe that it will get better:tu

Marty, notice how quickly oil prices can drop too? They went down $11 in just 2 -3 days due to the possibility of more supply. Speculators are driving this market. Once Con-gress lifts the offshore drilling ban as Bush did recently, I think you'll see another drop. Let's hope all stays stable in the middle east. It's all psychology.....and politics since this is an election year. :rolleyes:

Pump prices around here dropped about 8 cents a gallon this week......

Still not much relief!!!

[gconnsr]

Mexico is starting to sound pretty good to me! They just mentioned on the radio it's 2.60 a gallon at the Boarder towns, and less further in. So what doe's our wonderful Gov. do, Impose a 25.00 gas tax at the boarder on any American coming back with Mexican gas.:tu

[cffisher]

It was $3.899 here in town yesterday so I filled my truck:). It will go down more now that I did that.:(.

[Tim]

Filled up my DD with Ultra 94 from Sunoco @ $3.91 yesterday (not sure if I should be excited about that or not). :confused:
