I love gasoline!!!

[Stacey]

*sarcasm*....gas went up again here in Central IL to $4.09...That's a 20 cent jump in less than a week! Ugh! I totally hate this! I know we're still cheaper than in other parts of the country but still....this really stinks! It's gonna cost like 80 bucks to fill up my tank! No fun!

Just had to vent!

Thanks for "listening"!

Gee, makes me not exited to get my license in a few years

Whats the price of diesel there? Its like $4.45 here, which is really bad for us because my dad owns a pool company and all his vehicles are diesel :thumbdown:

 

[Corry]

It's $4.09 there?

I'm only 20 miles from you, and it's still $3.98 here! At least it was this morning!

I can't wait til I move to the city and ditch the car!

 

[maytay20]

Well were I am it is $3.99 but in the upper part of MI it is $4.20

it can cost around £60-70 to fill up your tank in parts of the UK (i think that's roughtly around $130) and our cars are generally smaller. It's been pricey over here for years

Yeah, I remember learning that on this very forum, a couple of years ago when we (the US) were complaining about prices being around $2 a gallon.

I remember saying that I couldn't imagine paying what you guys did for gasoline, but...well...it's becoming a reality now!

I'm in the UK at the moment and have passed petrol stations selling at £1.13 a litre - that's the equivalent of $10.17 a gallon - sure you don't want to fill up where you are?

Isn't that the dollar price per Imperial (4.55 litre) gallon, or have I got my sums wrong? A US (3.78 litre) gallon would be $8.41 at today's exchange rate.

That almost seems reasonable - my car runs on diesel, which round here (in a rural area) is £1.29 a litre, or £5.87 an Imperial gallon, $9.61 a US gallon. Mind you, I get 55 miles per Imperial gallon.

You spotted the flaw in my argument. Yes I did convert to Imperial, not the US version.

Wow :raisedbrow::taped sh:

You can say that again. And it's only going to get worse - I've seen predictions that the average for petrol will go as high as £1.50 a litre, so I dread to think what diesel might be.


Chris, out of idle curiosity, what's the price of a litre in Saudi (assuming that's where you work)?

[ferny]

Where the hell are you buying your petrol? You're looking at £1.18 here, not £1.13!

 

[greatestfix]

I have an gas guzzling ford Expedition and it takes $100 to fill up. I miss the good old days when gas was $1.09 now its $3.89. :x
