How much do you pay for GAS where you are ?

[Flash_Monster]

I'm in phoenix arizona (U.S.A.) and the average gasoline price here is $1.73 a gallon for unleaded. Dont even want to get into super and premium etc.

[Shpigford]

Here in the dirty south (Jackson, MS) it's about the same. I've seen it as cheap as $1.60 and as expensive as $1.85. Ah yes...I recall the good ole' days when I could get gas for 75 cents per gallon...good times my friend...good times.

In the uk its between 89p and 93p for a litre of petrol....you dont even want to convert that! LOL

Philadelphia: $1.90/gallon for regular.

It's about the same price in the Miami area (I was there this weekend ). I need to cross into New Jersey for some cheaper gas

[davidjmedlock]

I pay right at about $2 for premium in TN. I get good mileage on both cars (the Jetta gets about 25-26 mpg and the Mini Cooper gets 27-30 mpg) and my wife and I both work within 10 miles of home, so our gas bills aren't too terribly bad.

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres
90p = 1.72511 USD

1.72511 x 3.7854118 = USD 6.53 per gallon in the UK - anyone care to check my maths?

I suppose we have much shorter roads in England, albeit that they curve all over the place, hardly ever going in a straight line. No wonder we don't have enough money to pay for good dental work, with petrol prices that high!

[mark_W]

LOL @ revs_org!

We are always getting ripped of with the petrol prices! hehe!

Gas is cheaper in NJ? Even after you tip the attendant who must pump your gas for you?

[mark_W]

Is that right, they 'HAVE' to pump your gas?

[vgarcia]

Gas is cheaper in NJ? Even after you tip the attendant who must pump your gas for you?

Yes. For some reason it's still like 20-25 cents per gallon less than in Philadelphia .

Is that right, they 'HAVE' to pump your gas?

Yes, it's state law. It also breeds generations of people who don't know how gas pumps operate .

[DaveMichaels]

Yep, by law. There and Oregon. It's mostly a jobs program, but it also all but eliminates accidents and drive-offs.

[Mr. B]

You'd have to be pretty crazy to attempt a driveoff after someone pumped your gas for you. Interesting law. Gas in Missouri is about $1.67 or so.

[Flash_Monster]

Yes, it's state law. It also breeds generations of people who don't know how gas pumps operate .

Sorry for keeping at this, but does that mean that you can't pump your own gas even if you wanted to ? And is it also part of the law to tip em too ?

[mark_W]

I doubt its the law to tip them....... I could be wrong though! :/

[r937]

gasoline is currently 74 canadian cents per litre here

[DaveMichaels]

$0.74/litre = $2.81/gallon.

[Flash_Monster]

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres
90p = 1.72511 USD
1.72511 x 3.7854118 = USD 6.53 per gallon in the UK - anyone care to check my maths?

Holy Smokes ! are u serious ? $6.53 a gallon ???? Is that correct ?
Let's see here, I have a 22 gallon gas tank so a Fill Up at those rates would cost me....... $143.66 !!!! holy moly.....how can you guys afford to pay that over there ?

[Shpigford]

holy moly.....how can you guys afford to pay that over there ?

Everybody in the UK is rich.

[r937]

$0.74/litre = $2.81/gallon.

yeah, but dave, i said canadian

[mark_W]

Everybody in the UK is rich.

LOL!!! aha ha!!! I doubt that!

[DaveMichaels]

Whoops, yeah, forgot the CA->US conversion. Comes out to US $2.32/gallon. Probably cheaper than in California.

[Kevin Boss]

I paid 1.72 this morning in the Eastern PA area

[crosswire]

Currently in Queensland Australia we are paying between 80c-90c per litre. Was around the dollar a litre mark a couple of weeks ago.
How is that compared to US prices?

[Flash_Monster]

ack, conversions again...by 80c you mean 80 cents right ? lets hope so. Ok so anyway
1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres

so 3.7854118 * 80 cents = $3.02 USD
and 3.7854118 * 90 cents = $3.40 USD

if im right, gas is expensive in austrailia as well

[zivo]

As my VW Passat requires premium, I have purchased it as low as $1.93 in Wisconsin, and even around Chicago it is "down" to $2.09!

Ah, for the love of public transportation...
