That's all I gotta say.

Here in the San Francisco region most places are hovering around $3.50 a gallon for premium (91 Octane).

Toronto · 09-02-2005, 12:01 AM

here in toronto it is anywhere from 1.13-30 that is per liter

ZfrkS62 · 09-02-2005, 12:02 AM

still at 2.65/gallon as of 6:15 this evening. I agree though. this is going to get out of hand

ae86_16v · 09-02-2005, 12:06 AM

Oh yeah, that picture was taken in Atlanta, Georgia.

ZfrkS62 · 09-02-2005, 12:07 AM

that price better have come down, otherwise they're about to get busted for gouging.

Prices per gallon just went over $3 here in South Dakota. Thank god I can get nearly 30mpg in-town if I'm careful.

here in the Motor city capitol of the world... 3.19/gallon for 87 (mon+ron)/2 at the 'cheap' places in Kazo0...

its wierd to think, but i actually havent been driving most places i would normally drive too... but, when i did, i left the auto-box in 2nd, and gave it some extra throttle by petrol stations, and wankers, cause... fuck em

(the main reason its extra expensive here is due to the pipeline from the gulf that normally runs right into Romulus, MI is short on power in the gulf region, let alone the fact that some of these refineries are not powered up...

im hoping that this changes soon, and build some new refineries, damnit!

(dont forget, in the 'good' states, we still get 93, and 94 octane from pump gas) just add .20 $

corpse_grinder0 · 09-02-2005, 02:41 AM

I just paid 3.20 this morning

Kinxy · 09-02-2005, 02:53 AM

Regular gas (95) is 7.32 USD per gallon here in Norway, which amounts to 12.30 Norwegian kroner per liter.

bmwmpower · 09-02-2005, 03:58 AM

here almost 1 euro per liter / 95
really expensive, right time to use LPG or liquid gas

cooperluke · 09-02-2005, 05:37 AM

Here in Portugal:

Unleaded 95: 1.249 eur
Unleaded 98: 1.314 eur
Unleaded GForce (100oct) : 1.374

Considering that the minimal salary here is around 370eur, the prices are getting "a bit" too expensive.

Happily my everyday car is diesel...

Just don't understand one thing...

What do I have to do with the american fuel derricks afected by the Katrina?
I thought most of our oil came from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and countries in that area...

It's the usual, every reason is a good reason to put the prices up, but they never put them down if things return to normal.

I guess were about the same level with Norway, today 1,369$/liter 95octane, that is about 6,3$/gallon. Papers and news are saying that tomorrow it will approx 1,45€/liter eguals 6,67€/gallon.
I think we will start shopping in a nearby market instead of car market and I will drive everywhere with my bicycle

sure gas is cheaper here, but dont we americans drive more than the rest of the world? maybe im mistaken but its the impression I am under. So far this year, ive put on 15k miles on my bike in about 8 months... and I know I put on about 3k miles on my roomates bike. And I have no idea how many miles in cars/trucks.

The gas stations are wildly varying.. I see 2.79 across the street from 3.29..

That being said Im with forbes on this one.(If you didnt know, yesterday Forbes predicted a collapse of the oil bubble within a year):

My own comments on another forum on this situation(note I started saying this 2 days ago, so you can't say I got it from Forbes:

It's good to see I'm not alone in my hunch.
The concept isn't that demand will decrease, but rather we are creating an artificial demand both real(in terms of the bread and water hording we get for a snow fall) and imagined(if the tv says gas will raise to 4 dollars a gallon, it will rise to 4 dollars a gallon). Then you realize that up until this week no one was even waiting in line for gas, and that the current situation is a temporary that will most likely result in overcompensation. What does that leave? I'm seriously debating going short, the only question is timing. I also can guarentee you that in our lifetimes you'll see the equivellent of 1.20 gas, though I'm not commenting on when. I'm expecting sub 2.00 prices in a year.

Pokiou · 09-02-2005, 07:09 AM

in sutralia we are paying about 1.30 for hi octance and about a 1.20 for normal fuel
