Gas Prices Part 2 (Nov 08)

[Ickie]

Today in St. Pete I got gas for $2.39 Gal

[huub vink]

1 liter of ordinary petrol costs 1.3 Euros in my region. Which is 6.40 US dollars per gallon.

So count you blessings.......

Huub

[Cratermaker]

$1.99/gal !!!! :mixedsmi:

[Crusader]

$2.05/gal

[Thoe6969]

1.95 in my part of Ohio.

[Rami]

$2.15 a gallon. :d

[rpjkw]

Lowest I've seen is $2.29 in Albuquerque.

[Ickie]

Since I did a fill up and get between 30-40 MPG I can go about 150 miles
I drive this:

[GT182]

Lowest I've seen is $2.14 here above the Canal. There is one other place up here where it could be lower than 2.14 but I've not been by there.

It seems that the Canal here in DE is the breaking line for many things. Above is more, below is less. I guess it's something to do with population and demand. :costumes:

[Willy]

Paid $2.19 yesterday when filling the truck up at Wally World in Humboldt. Today I heard about a station over in Trenton that selling it for $1.99.

The local station is still going for $2.49 but he's the only gas station in town.

[Ferry_vO]

Nice bike Ickie! Does it come with three-wheel drive..?

All it needs is an MG-42 mounted on the sidecar..!

:applause:

[Ickie]

its 2 wheel drive with reverse

[brad kaste]

Ickie,
The motorcycle with the hack attached looks like a Russian built Ariel. Are they still imported in the US? If I'm not mistaken,....they're built off a BMW frame and engine design.

[Willy]

I thought Ariel was an old British bike manufacturer from the '50s? Best known for their "square four" engine.

[hey_moe]

1.98 here across the James River bridge:applause:

[Ickie]

Its a Ural from Russia, 1939 BMW M-71 design, they have been making them since 1939 in Russia.
in 1939 Germany started making the M-72 and sold the rights to the M-71 to Russia just before the war.

[MyassisDragon]

Fill up now, the election is over.

[Brian_Gladden]

$2.64 a gallon locally. higher in other parts of the state. Haven't seen under $2 a gallon in three years.

[David_L6]

I like that motorcycle Ickie! :icon37:

Gas prices around here are running ~ $2.02 / gallon for the most part.

[txnetcop]

Hey Ickie that beats the heck outta that van...SWEEEEET Bike! $189.00 DeSoto Texas

[Snuffy]

I passed a gas station this morning on the way to work ... gas was advertised for 2.17!

Kevin :d

[jankees]

Boys, you must be really suffering..they seem to be giving it away over there.
I filled up yesterday at €1.32/liter, which is not bad considering it was about 1.60 two months ago...

[huub vink]

You drive on expensive gas JanKees!

Euro 95 is €1.27/liter at the gas station near my house.
Which is ONLY $6.13/gallon.

Not really.... The price of a barrel of crude oil dropped by 50% since then, but the price of fuel dropped a mere 20% ... Of course about 70% goes directly to our government.. :banghead:

[GT182]

Regular has now dropped to the $1.96 to $1.98 range here in northern DE. Finally below the $2.00 mark. :applause:

[BurningBeard]

Paid $2.15 today here in Up State California.

Beard

[Reddog]

2.09.9 here in PA today

[hey_moe]

It has dropped to 1.85 in Hampton...still looking for it to go to 1.00:mixedsmi:

[Crusader]

$1.89 this evening in SE Ohio.:jump:

[luckydog]

$ 2.15 tonite ( Nov. 12 )

[Willy]

Finally below the $2 mark. $1.99 here at our only gas station in town. Must be 1.79 elsewhere.

[smoores]

All the way to 2.35 in the LA area.

[jbtate]

It is painful to watch companies boast about 24 miles per gallon autos.
Come the freak on.
My first car, a French AMC Simca, pushed a HemiCuda on the twisting backroads after Sunday night services; got at least over 35 mpg in '73.
'70s Mustangs ...
My currently driven 1985 Volkswagen Golf GTI, 30 mpg in city 35 on highway, and it's very quick; pushed a Corvette a while back, low end; Of and of ...

[Cazzie]

$1.899 is the cheapest in my area (Danville, VA), which sure beats the heck out of the $4.00+ I was paying two months ago! Makes one wonder???

Of course with the economy going to hades and still no jobs around, not much to cheer about. The conglomerate that owns the local mall has lost 99% of it's value on the stock market in the last year and is probably going to declare Chapter 11. Bad enough when individual stores close and leave people jobless, worse when you lose an entiire mall of stores!

Whatever Obama does, it will not matter unless he can find a way to bring good paying employment back to small town and big town USA. Without employment, this nation is completely doomed to another Depression. I would not want to walk in Obama's shoes the next four years. It is going to be a very tough row to hoe.

Caz

[wildcat400]

$2.04 for 87 octane at WaWa here in Southern Maryland.

[GT182]

7 11 just down the street dropped to $1.929 today for Regular.

[crashaz]

$1.87 down in Arlington, TX where I am working. :wiggle:

[EasyEd]

Hey All,

It's 97 cents a liter here in Nanaimo which is way better than the $1.45 or so it was. taxes are high here in Canada plus there is the exchange rate issue otherwise I think I think we might be in the $2.00 or less a gallon range.

Caz - Obama has a tremendous opportunity having the house and the senate behind him. We can only hope that he as a democrat can show the leadership of the other great democrats who led America through crisis situations. It was Wilson who showed leadership through WWI, it was FDR who fashioned the New deal during the great depression, it was Truman who showed leadership in WWII including the decision to "drop the bomb", it was Kennedy who faced down the Russian bear in Cuba. Hopefully Obama can follow in this mold - America can only hope - but you are right it is a tough row to hoe.

-Ed-

[Rami]

It's down to about $1.95 a gallon here.

[Lionheart]

North West Phoenix, down to $2.29 for regular unleaded.

:d

[stiz]

[Tom Clayton]

around $7.54 a US gallon here if i've done me maths right :kilroy:
Take your price per liter and multiply by 3.79 to get an approximate price per US gallon. Then head over to XE.com (http://www.xe.com/) to convert that to Dollars at the current rate.

Oh, and at current prices, I go about 120-130 miles on about $6 worth of gas! With the windshield installed, my bike's getting around 40MPG. Without the windshield, I can get about 50!

[GT182]

It dropped to 1.899 here yesterday. :d Who'll give me a 1.829? :costumes:

[Wiens]

I filled my wife's van tonight for $1.79....

Kevin :d

[txnetcop]

[waco]

That makes it about $6.30 here in the UK:isadizzy:

[Willy]

$1.95 here in smalltown Tennessee yesterday evening. $1.89 at Wally World in Humboldt.

[GT182]

WaWa today $1.879. :applause:

[Ickie]

I topped off today @ $1.96
this is the first time in a year I had a full tank, lol

[Gdavis101]

Still a little more expensive out here on the Coast, 2.13 a gallon or so. I fueled up this morning, handed the guy a 50(a 50 hasn't filled my tank in a long time) and said fill it. He came back with 11 dollars and said here is your change! I was floored..

[Rami]

I just filled up for $1.859 a gallon. First time I've gotten over nine gallons for under $20 in a while. :d

[Ickie]

$1.93 today, filled up bike:costumes:

[Henry]

[smokinhole]

st louis mo

[Milton Shupe]

Still $2.17 / gallon here in the oil field country of SE NM. I hear it is $1.78 in Lubbock, TX.

[luckydog]

$2.09 today

[jbtate]

$1.81 regular at my nearby Chevron station, though I use premium.
Of and of ...
jbtate.

[GT182]

The Seven Eleven down the street is at 1.859 for Regular.

Even lower yet.... Citgo at 1.809.

[Guruswarmyoz]

Hmm, sounds cheap in the US!! :) I've been paying between $1.60 and $1.22 per litre here in Australia.
Mind you Distillate//Diesel is still up at $1.50 per litre which makes my Grey Ferguson TEF20 tractor quite dear to run!!!
The best thing I've done is to convert my petrol (Gas=petrol) car to LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) which is 62.5 cents/per litre. My car is a 1994 GM Holden VR Commodore with a 3.8l V6 engine, normally i get 33 to 35 (imperial)MPG with the LPG it gets 25 to 28MPG, i.e. slightly down on power + economy but not noticeable in day to day driving.
the crux of the above??
Well the dual fuel large 6 cylinder car is thus cheaper to run than a Toyota prius or corrolla!!!! :costumes:

[Willy]

$1.71 at a convience store in Jackson, TN today. Can't remember the time before this that I filled the truck up.
