$3.15 here in SC atm. $9 here wouldn't fly. Every person in America would be stealing gas at that price.

 

Wow, that's insane.

It's sitting around $1.00 a liter here in Canada so about .50 GBP per liter and around $3.50 vs. a US gallon.

 

I paid $305 a US gallon yesterday, they say it might get to $5.00 al gallon..

at that point I'm going to start brewing it myself in the backyard.

 

Thats what it is here.

 

The US economy isn't setup for $3 a gallon much less $5 per gallon. In the UK, 80% of the cost of your fuel is taxes, and that's not the case in the US. The are saying gas will hit $4 per gallon now, which will put the US into a recession at the very least. The high price of fuel is all speculation, meaning there is no other reason for high fuel prices other than traders trying to drain your wallet. I guess we all need to get hybrids now in order to combat the high cost of fuel. That day is coming.

My goodness why is it sooooo damned hard to get people to see this? It's nothing more than speculation and they don't even try to hide it.

They "predict" that people will need more fuel for a season so they make bets. They never lose so they simply speculate another price and come up with a reason for the speculation. Prior to Katrina prices were half what they are now. Then they bumped the prices up in anticipation of the storm. After the storm they bumped them in anticipation of shortage. Then they bumped them again in anticipation of...........................( insert good reason to make some more money here. ) The funniest part is that they price never goes down to the prior level and the speculation is always speculation.

The same thing happened with housing being bought by flippers and loans financed by non financial entity's looking to make a quick buck. It's easy money in the beginning but in the end somebody is gonna be stuck holding a bag of crap.


The question these people need to be asking is "At what price profit?" What good will it do to be a gazillionaire if the gazillion that you have is in Lira and not gold.

 

paying $3.50/gal. for diesel, not sure about gasoline, think its $3.10 or something

 

Paying $3.56 for premium here in Cali seems this state pays the most for gas, thats why most cars in the UK are small and so is the engines. Taxes are so high because of welfare plus paying for the royals lol

 

Like your style bro!! and you could be right! as one of the dudes said we have small cars in the uk. But i have an 89 GTA Trans-Am so costs me always:flex: . Thinking of looking for a job in US or Canada seems better to me:bash

 

Filled up the bike yesterday, 3.24 for 93 in Pensacola.
9 bucks for a gallon would suck! They would have to sell it by the quart, so it wouldn't seem so bad.

 

You guys are wasting your money for the queen on taxes, instead you should revolt and dump the queen. Create a new government and steal the oil like the U.S. does.

 

This time last year it was $1.91!!!!!

 

:rant

 

Paying just under $3.50 in SW Florida. Prices are rising so fast I can't keep track. The bike is the least expensive mode of transportation I own and I'm debating dumping my daily driver Evo for a Honda Civic! Yeah, it's that bad and it's only going to get worse.

 

Im in the same boat....i thought it was a breather when it only took $40+ to fill up my Evo, instead of closer to 45-50. I dunno if that's enough to get rid of it cuz i love my car, but it crossed my mind. My ONE might have to step up to task...8 bones to fill :jump

 

The US would be on the verge of coup d'etat if gas hit nine bucks a gallon.

 

Just traded my truck yesterday for a honda accord because of the gas. Got the 4 cyl so it wont seem too bad.

 

87 octane as of today was $3.13 in South Central Florida.

 

My wife just told me that she paid a high price for my gas...which cost 2 burrito supremes...:lol

 

$3.35 low grade. Still cheap compared to UK, Norway and all of Europe for that matter still hurts though.

 

Paid $2.79 a gallon yesterday to fill up my Ford Ranger. :fact

If you're ranger is anything like my ram you're getting screwed. The mileage doesn't make it worthwhile. It should be a 10-15% reduction but in reality I see 10mpg e85 @ 2.69 here or 14.6mpg @ 2.97.

 

3.09 here in minneapolis/minnesota.

 

Standard of living wise it's getting to the stage that we are paying about the same for gas here in the US, especially when you consider that a US gallon is about 4/5ths a UK gallon, so if the price is due mainly to taxes in the UK what is the excuse here ???

 

The excuse is the super wealth are raping you.:lhumper: Having fun yet? :2bitchsla :no

 

$3.75/gall in SF

 

I paid 3.93 at the Chevron right off of Civic. With the gas prices continuing to rise it just gives me an excuse to go an get that 848:rock

 

The Canadian government put a cap on gas prices last year. It was $1.30 IIRC.

It pissed off a few people but after a while the suppliers were pressured into lowering the prices because nobody would buy for a loss.

Just goes to show that the "price" doesn't have anything to do with the cost.

In Canada the poor provinces pay more and the better ones pay less....
is that the opposite in the US?

 

I don't know how much for gallon but for 1 litre 1.5$

 

All the oil we are stealing in Iraq and our prices at the pump is still high. What the heck??

 

...cuz Canada and Mexico are really the primary suppliers of US oil. The Middle East doesn't even break 5% of all oil used by us. We are stealing very little in fact.

BTW, that E85 shit is such a bullcrap way of "getting around" the problem. Had a university vehicle the other day, went to Des Moines and back in one day...used 3/4ths of a tank...200 miles. Driving a V6 Impala (POS by the way) with about a thousand miles on it. Computer was saying on the highway at 72 mph...I was getting...ready for this shit...20 mpg. Holy hell, i've driven trucks wiht 5.7 litre motors in them that get better mileage on the highway. 14 in town for that 6 as well. What a fuggn joke.

 

$2 litre here

 

What ever the pricing, feels good when your primary transportation is 2 wheeled. aaaahhhhhh $14.50, (91oct) tank full, good for a week and a half worth of work commutes and a fun run thrown in.

 

...cept new tires counter that cost...not to mention other maintenance to high performance vehicles.

 

today I paid $3.61 for 91
