Halfway to Armageddon??

[DerFuror]

The highest gas prices I ever paid around here. Do I hear 6.66 for 2012??

...yet, Driving the 500E is still worth every 0.9 cent...

 

[sheward]

Yes, I believe "halfway" can be seen in the rear-view mirror. Expect higher prices soon.

The prices here a way over 2 dollars a liter, there are weeks when i visit the gasstation three times a week

hmm...if I do the math correctly... :?

1 gallon US = 3.78541178 liters
1 gallon US = $3.339 USD :x
1 liter US = $1.13 USD :x
1 liter NL = +$2.00

Bless your souls across the "Pond", I no longer feel as crestfallen now.

DerF, don't know where you're located, but up here in NorCal, we'd call $3.30+/- per gallon for premium a pretty good bargain, and you'd like to see a line to get it! And that's for 91 Octane tops; we can't get anything higher here (besides race gas if/when you can find it).

Just one more reason why I'm getting my motorcycle license this year....

It's around $2.85-$2.95 for 93 octane Super here in Houston -- Shell or Chevron brand. Valero and Exxon are generally a few cents cheaper, but I don't put them in my cars. Regular is around $2.55-$2.60 a gallon.

It pays to be within 100 miles of more than 60% of the refining capacity in the USA .... not to mention most of the oil company HQs and oil supply out in the Gulf. I could only get 92 octane in Oregon, and IIRC 91 Octane when I lived in California. Now, I'm on a quest to find 100% (non-ethanol) gasoline here.....

Cheers,
Gerry

We're at ~$3.10/gal for premium (91-93 octane) here in Boise. All are "E10" (10% ethanol blend) except the few Conoco/Phillips/66 stations in town, which proudly advertise "zero ethanol". This varies from state to state, and possibly cities within the state, though... I tried a Phillips station in Reno last week and they had ethanol. It's getting harder to find gas without it.

Chevron are the only guys here with "Zero Ethanol", but only the 94 Octane grade.

BTW, about $1.35/litre. Approximately, 4 litres per US gallonp

Atlanta sits right on top of the northeast pipeline so that tends to provide for decent pricing. I buy more diesel than super. It's currently selling for $3.05 gallon.

i read on a forum somewhere Canadian Shell V-Power is ethanol free...i've yet to find official documentation of this....

You could well be right, Doran. I'm going by the notices on the pumps. They do/did seem to like to announce ethanol content as an incentive to buy.

 

[fudgitive]

Oh, we are at 47c per litre at the moment for the standard stuff - around $2 per gallon and the UAE is the most expensive of the gulf states for fuel...

this is why I keep my 300CD which will burn damn near Anything in it's CC as well as my little CB1, 60mpg is a wonderful thing

Without high energy prices the 800 lb lazy gorilla that has become America will do nothing to ween itself of the fossil fuel teet.

I am in Jordan (has to import oil) and I pay a dollar for a liter.

Back in August I was in Riyadh (Saudi-Arabia) for 6 weeks.
There I paid for 50 liters of premium gas roughly 6 Euro.
I had the car washed (inside and out) for 4 Euro.
So full tank plus car wash was 10 Euro.

Just to give you an idea.
