Gas prices!
 

What the fuck is happening to fuel costs? Shit I can't ever remember paying over $2.00 per gallon, but I did today! Damn Iraqies!

I remember it being over $2.60/gal a few years ago in Chicago

stop crying... it's $2.30 here right now.

Gas is 81.9/litre here.. Which is getting up there but still not in the $2.30/gallon range.. daymn.

we have a site for local prices called http://seattlegasprices.com/

The islands don't count EVERYTHING is more expensive there :winkwink:

It was $1.79 in Phoenix today when I filled up.

Fuck...... Everyone is saying this crap with Iraq is "about the oil". I guess they were wrong.

I'm paying $1.10 a litre here in OZ

too bad we need gas sites, but it looks like we do! might get even worse. Sell you SUV Shopping Carts!

Man it's nice living in oil country

I paid $1.67 for premium last night here in Oklahoma

Don't blame it all on Iraq. Venezula is on strike and to the best of my knowledge is not producing any oil.. which can deliver quite a blow considering they are one of the top 5 oil producing nations.

Maybe we should drill in ANWR???

Its about $1.70 here per gallon

Yeah gas prices have way more to do with the strike in Venezuela and the storm that hit the northeast recently.

Prices probably will drop once the war is over though

Shit, the gas you have is usually refined in the SF Bay Area, and we often have HIGER prices than you! I drive by the Richomd Oil Fields on the way to the Airport, I SEE the tankers, and I wonder how gas in HI can be less than gas in N. CA? Id there even a refinery in HI?

WTF? Thank God I do not have to drive much . . .

just filled up at $1.93...

I remember a few years ago gas was $0.99 in a few places in orange county.

:BangBang:

Of course we should. It seems like common sense to me. More exploration would be good too.

About the same here in New Mexico.. cry

I just started a thread with this - didn't see this one first....

I just heard on CNN that retail gas prices are up 56 cents a gallon this year. (U.S)

BUT - the wholesale price is only up 14 cents, and that is because of the labor strikes in Venezuela.

So is it our local gas stations that are ripping everyone off, their local distributors? Someone is taking serious advantage of the situation aren't they?

heh, we got down to 89 cents a few years ago. Anyway current price is around 1.59.

Thanks P.K. :thumbsup

It went up from $0,83 a litre to $0,9 a litre here & still growing.
I'm happy, that my car is eating Propan Butan instead of gas. It's around $0,36 per litre with almost same l/km rate & it's price is same for years.

Saw a sign on a Chilli joint the other day, FREE GAS with every bowl!

$1.64 in Arkansas

we pay $4.59 per gallon dude
shut the fuck up :)

and we did that for years , not for war reasons

1.89 here in vegas and rising! Sucks having an Avalanche!

WHAHAH you guys don't have to complain :-)

In The Netherlands we pay 1.16 EURO per litre!

That is around 4.37 EURO= 4.60 dollar per Liquid gallon

The Netherlands is a tiny country. You can't drive for more than a couple of hours in any direction.

Stop bitching.

pumping gas is supporting terrorism ...

WHAHAHAH whatever. :1orglaugh

In the US, State gax taxes range pretty widely .. from around 8 cents/gallon in Alaksa to 38 cents in Illinois which causes much of the discrepancies. Hawaii is around 38 cents/gallon also.

Other factors contribute too, of course.

---------

Major factors on current high gas prices:

1. Venezuela
2. Iraq
3. Low US oil reserves

The US imports about 3 times as much oil from Venezuela as Iraq.

Venezuelan oil workers are still on strike. The US is still importing at 50% of normal capacity though.

US crude supplies at their lowest in 25 years.

Interesting. With modern drilling equipment and increased stability, industry experts think Iraq could yield more than twice as much oil as it does now.

Some analysts think some countries are hoarding gas reserves and will release them on the market as prices rise, especially at the onset of a war.

The International Energy Agency will probably release 1-2 million barrels a day of reserve crude oil at the onset of a war though so will be interesting to see those two factors in play at the same time.

More from Venezuela? More from Iraq? Who knows. At any rate, a lack of a stable substantial back-up supply weighs heavily on prices.

This is what I had a hard time understanding when I lived in the Bay Area. Then I read, because of the gas wars that go on in Southern California. Got's 2 get that money back somehow.

You thought with a Texas Oil Man in the White House the price of gas would be lower?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh


Down here in Florida gas is pretty well priced compared to the rest of the US. Right now I'm paying $1.59 a gallon.

You must be in Europe. I remember in the 1960's in Germany I was paying $ 2.50... In Texas at that time it was $ 0.19, I thought shit glad I work in the Motor Pool, 5 Gallon's would take my little VW half way across Europe.

it's C$0.875 a litre here...

when you work it out, it's still more expensive than US gas prices, so quit complaining...

We really need more nuclear power :(

Oil analyst Fadel Gheit of Fahnestock & Co. said crude oil prices have actually risen much faster than pump prices over the last year, causing oil companies to lose money on the refining and marketing side of the business.

"All the refining and marketing operations in the United States last year lost money, huge money, hundreds of millions of dollars. Would they have done that if they could fix prices and gouge consumers?" he said.

we'll have control of the iraqi oil fields soon enough. bet we can get 5x the production they currently get.

No fucking kidding I paid $1.87 for medium grade today...about shit my pants...premium was $1.98

$1.78 for Super on the NJ turnpike, $1.93 off the turnpike for the same thing.

Having 2 SUVs really has become a bit more costly, but, I dont drive cars, too damm low.

About time the gas prices go up in the US so you guys will get rid of those 6 liter engine cars.

I drive a 5.7 liter, don't know of any higher off the top of my head and I get 19 mpg doing pretty much 100% city driving....SUVs are the problem

I live in a resort area and our prices are 10-15 cents more than Atlanta during the off season and 20-25 cents more during the tourist season. I can usually time it to fill up in Atlanta and I don't drive that much, but my son drives at least 2 round trips a week to school. It's about $1.60 a gallon here off season, about $1.45 in Atlanta. GA has some of the least expensive gas in the states.

I get 18 MPG "city" (I live in the boonies and I drive up and down the mountains - kinda of hard to call it the city, lol!) and 20-21 MPG on the HWY in my SUV and it seats 7. I figure that's better than the 25-30 MPG econoboxes that only seat 4 :) And yes, most of the times we do take the SUV instead of taking 2 cars.

The average car in europe does 30+MPG
I'm not a greenpeace pussy but it's pretty obvious that those american cars are very bad for the environment.
Gas is around $4.5 a gallon here.
The average car has a 1.8 liter engine instead of the 4liter average in the US.

It's pretty high here in Montreal too.... 0.89 per litre.
I don't expect anyone in the US to understand what a litre is...

I believe a gallon is around 4.5 litre.

2$ a gallon here now.

Imperial gallon or US gallon?

Those Americans.... always wanna be different... :winkwink:
