How much is a gallon of gas where you live?

[tcpip4lyfe]

I know there are a lot of international users as well as people across the US on this forum so I was wondering:

How much is a gallon/liter of gas where you live? In the US it just keeps going up and people are freaking out. In Cedar Rapids, IA it's $3.19 which is prompting me to buy a bike. :)

[WalmartSniperLX]

Ahh I don't really remember because I don't have a car. I'de say its probably a little more expensive than 3.20 or so in Tucson, Az, USA

[ThinkBuntu]

About $3.05 last time I filled up in Arlington. Probably $3.14 over the river due to taxes.

[Adamant1988]

$3.15 a gallon here, although it fluctuates multiple times through the day, that's what it was last time I drove by a station.

[Cyfr]

I'd hazard a guess at it being almost double that in the UK.

[theicyj]

Gas here along the North Dakota/Minnesota border is around $3.30 a gallon. Now that summer is here, I bike to work, not only to save money, but also for the exercise!

[DoctorMO]

Gas is free here, oxygen, CO2 even the nitrogen is pretty much free; they might charge you to compress it though.

[S29K]

In Ontario, Canada it's running about 1.05 to 1.10 per LITRE...they've bumped it up for this weekend cause we get Monday off for Victoria Day....gouging vultures!!!

[Rashid584]

About £3.41 or 6.74 USD

You Americans think you got it bad :|

-Rashid

[Sunflower1970]

Right around $3.00, depending on the area of town I'm in.

I've seen it as low as $2.99 though (haha)

[brian j]

£3.996 per gallon here in the uk ($7.89120 USD)

[WalmartSniperLX]

lol Wait same here :KS

[Steveway]

I remember some weeks ago they reported on the news that in some countrys in america the price for one Liter of gas reached 60 Cent and everyone has gone crazy and saying that they will now only use the bike...
Here in Germany the price for Gas is normally about 130 Eurocent, that is about 170 American Cent.
War for oil, heh?

[tcpip4lyfe]

£3.996 per gallon here in the uk ($8.00 US)

lol!

[justin whitaker]

Boston, MA: last fill up was 3.09 per gallon for Plus. Seems right in line with what the rest of you guys are seeing. Too bad my car runs like crap on Regular.

Funny thing is they are blaming fires and capacity problems in the refineries this time...it's just damned convenient that they start raising prices as the weather gets good and people want to head out to the beach and such.

[starcraft.man]

In Ontario, Canada it's running about 1.05 to 1.10 per LITRE...they've bumped it up for this weekend cause we get Monday off for Victoria Day....gouging vultures!!!

LOL, you think thats bad? We been at 1.17-1.20 a litre for a few weeks now it seems in Frenchy Land of Canada :p

Btw, for Americans and those who want gallons (4 litres to a gallon roughly) its 4.68-4.80$. So don't complain down there in states, even with exchange we pay more. :D Course, that might be cuz the government taxes represent 33% of the price.

Oh and I remember a time when it was 50 cents a litre, what happened to those times?

PS: Man I feel real sorry for the UK and European people who pay even more >.>.

[roderikk]

I haven't used a car in quite a while and certainly didn't get gasoline then, but I'd guess around 1.40 per liter, that is euros.... so lets calculate how much that amounts to in US dollar per (US) gallon right now:

1.4*1.3 = 1.82 US$/liter
1.82*3.78 = 6.88 US$/US gallon

Now do you understand this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_in_the_Netherlands

EDIT: I do believe there is a difference between US and Imperial gallons, at a ratio of about 0.8, so the english prices should be deflated by 1/5...

[executor]

in Norway it is 12 Kroner pr Liter 98 octane, or in us $ 2 pr liter

[DoctorMO]

lol Wait same here

The ability to be disambiguous is a skill they don't teach in some countries for some reason. you don't even need to use 'petrol' (petroleum spirit) you could have all used 'gasoline' or hazardous blended hydrocarbons.

God knows what you guys call real gas fuels such as compressed methane or hydrogen. both as gasses. gasoline it's self can mean petrol or methanol the words are so screwed up.

Don't use the word 'gas' it's taken already, as a noun already, as a scientific term no less. so just stop it.

[jariku]

Average price for 95 octane unleded gasoline in Finland is about 1,35 euros per liter.

In gallons that's 5,10 euros per gallon, I guess.I wouldn't mind it being a tad higher, though. I'm not a fan of driving just for fun. :)

[cliv]

in Norway it is 12 Kroner pr Liter 98 octane, or in us $ 2 pr liter
And that would be approximately US$ 7.6 per gallon?
Man with all the oil you got up there, it surprises me a bit :-)
Here in DK the price is about US$ 7.2 per gallon.

[Acglaphotis]

Here in venezuela, a full tank is 4000 bs. Thats like 1 buck.

I'm driving route 66 from LA to NY this summer. You'll recognize me easily because I'll be the only SUV driver laughting as I pay for the gas.

Don't come through Boston then, I know people who shoot laughing SUV drivers. or they would if they owned guns; so more likely they'll just pretend to shoot you in their minds eye.

[sebbouckaert]

Today in Belgium, EU we have 1 € and 38 cents/L, for unleaded 95 oct. gasoline. I still remember the times it was less than a euro/L (6 years ago or someting)

[futz]

Just did the math to convert Canadian litres to Canadian gallons to US gallons (about 20% smaller), and here we currently pay (last I looked at prices they were $1.306 per litre) $4.96 per US Gallon, or $5.96 per Canadian Gallon. OUCH! :frown:

Oops! Forgot to convert the currency. In US dollars, that would be $4.56 per US Gallon, and $5.48 per Canadian Gallon.

At least 2/3 of that is taxes. In fact, there are taxes ON taxes. Sleazy gubmint bandits. You'd think they'd spend it on roads, but NO! They put it in general revenue and **** it away like almost all the rest of the hard earned taxes I pay.

[adamklempner]

$2.99 Concord, MA. Although I bet that is going up this weekend.

[DougieFresh4U]

I filled up today in Rochester, New York at $2.85 a gallon, but I have seen it at $3.07 a gallon down the street , so it varies here:lolflag:

[kelean]

west Michigan it's between $3.35 to $3.62 a gallon for regular unleaded

[Zuuswa]

Kalamazoo, MI, the prices are about $3.59 everywhere. Good thing I ride a scooter!!

[steven8]

Barberton, OH - $3.29 $3.39 znd $3.49 a gallon. I've read about Michigan being higher.

[mips]

Very few countries still use gallons. Then there is the difference between US Gallons & Imperial Gallons. The rest of the world has past you by and uses Litres !

Oh, and we don't call it gas (A gas is something that is not liqued) we call it petrol or petroleum or liqued petroleum !

[mvaniersel]

Tango, one of the cheapest gas stations around here has EUR 1.51 per liter, which is $7.72 per gallon.

But I had to look that up because I don't have a car. I only use train + bike

btw, did you know that you can just google for 1.51 euro per liter in dollars per gallon (http://www.google.nl/search?q=1.51+euro+per+liter+in+dollars+per+gallon&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a)? Cool!

You Americans think you got it bad :|

-Rashid

Hey Rashid,

Lots of us Americans do have it bad. I live near Atlanta, Georgia. This city swells with people during the day from all the people who live just outside the city and work inside it. My daily drive is a touch over 50 miles (~81 km)ONE WAY. That isn't rare either, much of the workforce here has a commute over 30 miles one way. To make things worse, easily half of those people drive gas guzzling SUVs and trucks that cost $80 (~60 euros) to fill up. Trust me, at least here it sucks HARD!

Interestingly enough, I'd estimate that 80-90% of the big 6-8 seat SUVs only have a driver in them. It kills me. Gas here ranges from $2.89 to $3.19 a gallon (for regular) depending on what part of town you are in. I am fortunate to live in one of the $2.89/gallon areas!

[rudder]

True, I get a kick out of how all the sci-fi shows that reference stuff in today's standards all default to kilos and such... I do think it would be great if the US went that way too.

When Americas say "gas", we use it as a short version of gasoline which is our word for petrol. We don't associate it with the phase of the stuff;)

[mvaniersel]

Interestingly enough, I'd estimate that 80-90% of the big 6-8 seat SUVs only have a driver in them.

So your gas is definitely not expensive enough.

[siralphred]

[dodgePT]

In Portugal, unleaded 95 octanes, 1,079€/litre which means $4,08/US Gallon...

[Ender Black]

1996 I remember filling up my car at less than $0.88 a gallon. It's now 3$+ a gallon. Even at that price, gasoline is still one of the cheapest liquids you can buy (in the US anyways). Only the cheapest no-name brand bottled water sells for less. I try and keep that in mind to avoid the wallet shock every time I fill-up my Jeep Wrangler...which is about every third gas station...

But I love how every politician in the western world decries the price of gasoline yet do nothing for their constituents and implement consumer friendly policies such as not gouging us at the pump with 200% taxation. We dumped tea in the Boston Harbor for a lot less taxation.

[Kingsley]

$2.88 to 2.92

That is true that we dumped tea. But that was for 'taxation without representation'. Now we have representatives. . .and THEY are screwing us. That's what we fought for!!

[DoctorMO]

taxation without representation

If you think the plastic politicians believe in representation your a little blind.


True, I get a kick out of how all the sci-fi shows that reference stuff in today's standards all default to kilos and such... I do think it would be great if the US went that way too.

Look at the American position on ISO, why not adopt A4 instead of US Letter paper sizes. why not use ISO Date formats (although uk could do the same in this regard)

You should have it harder, only by realising that car transportation for the kind of journey you make is not working can you as a peoples begin to build train lines that supply the public with the required worker services.

Take a look at the Brighton to London train line, it's not the best in the world and expensive as hell considering it's privatised and mis-managed. but even that supplies the capital with more people from over 40 miles away without too many problems with far far less fuel. (would be better if they were compressed coal fuel engines, can't have everything) and it takes about 40 mins to go from gatwick. I used to live at merstham and that only took 30 mins, I used to go into London at the weekends and didn't even have problems parking the train.

I don't know why America is so against serving it's publics needs and so anti taxation; perhaps it's because you know the people you elect are anti services and so would never give you what you need (not even want) in that case you need a socialist government for at least a few terms to sort out your public services.

[deepwave]

Whats a gallon?

In Toronto gas is hovering around $1.05 per litre.

Its because the Democrats (public needs/liberal) and Republicans (anti-taxation/conservative) are so different and our country is so divided we cant get anything done anymore. We elected Republicans 8 years ago and look what happened. (I.E. Iraq) Then we got fed up and elected Democrats and all they are doing is investigating the Republicans and sending out a bunch on non-binding BS. Meanwhile our public schools are a mess, health care costs are insane, and gas prices are out of control and STILL nothing is being done. What we need is a bipartisan government full of non-lobbiest controlled individuals. But that won't happen because the American public doesn't care. All we care about is American idol and how long Paris Hilton goes to jail for. I hope gas over here goes to 6 dollars a gallon so the American public wakes up and realizes we're in trouble. On the other hand I can say this and not fear being put in jail or killed. So i guess its not all bad.

Ohh yeah a gas went up another 19 cents today. :)

[jariku]

Here in Switzerland, it's sold by the liter at 1.47 USD

If I remember correctly, 1 gallon = 3.8 liter...let's say 4l

So 5.8 USD per gallon
Did I tell you I don't have a car!!

[afljafa]

$1.35 AUS per litre here. Can`t be arsed doing the conversion. It`s slightly under double what it was 2-3 years ago.

[jclmusic]

here in england, it's about a pound a litre. on top of rediculous amounts of taxes on cars etc it makes driving far too exppensive for me. thee excercise is probably good for me anyway! i think the theory originally was that it'd force traffic and pollution down, but it doesn't seem toi have worked. i think if we had public transport that actually worked, that'd be far more effective. i tend to walk or cycle everywhere :).

[SlayerMan]

I'm living in Germany, and the gas prizes are as follows:

1 litre costs about 1.32 Euros. That would be 4.99 Euros per gallon. With a dollar rate of 1.35$ = 1 Euro, this makes 6.73 $ per gallon in Germany.

So, to all the US citizens: stop whining and buy more efficient cars :)

I can't afford to pay $22,175 (roughly) for a hybrid because I'm paying so much for gas.

I wouldn't even complain about gas prices if oil company profits showed they needed this level of price to stay in business. Instead they're continually posting record profits, record bonuses for execs. That is who we need to be arguing with. Not each other over litres vs gallons and who is being bilked worse. We are ALL being screwed to make a few folks D**N rich!

About $6 a gallon here in Sweden.

[mvaniersel]

Still not expensive enough.

I believe the world would be a much nicer place if gas was say $10/gallon everywhere. Maybe some people would finally leave their car at home once in a while and that would give us:

- less pollution
- less traffic jams
- less noise
- less terrorism and fewer stupid wars (and that's not only the war in iraq)
- fewer deaths from traffic accidents

[dizee]

What's a gallon? What's gas? :)

About €1.15 a litre here, €4.35 ( US$5.88 ) a gallon.

[steefjeqv]

Hi,

In Belgium it's about 1.4 eur/ltr (98 ron).
That's 5.6 eur/gallon or 7.28 $/gallon.

My Alfa 146 is converted to LPG (liquified petrol gas) which costs about 0.40 eur/ltr.
That's 1.6 eur/gallon or 2.08 $/gallon.
The conversion costs somewhere between 2000 and 2500 eur .
And the exhaust emission is far less compared to gasoline (or diesel).

Greetings
Steven

It's interesting how most people are socialist when you get right down to it.

[timpino]

hmm, last time I checked it was somewhere above $1.50/litre so that's around ~$5.70/US gallon or ~$6.80/UK gallon.


But then I live in Sweden and we pay VAT on the tax for gasoline.... :(

[Ender Black]

I had to drive past the airport today, and a petrol station next to London Heathrow Airport is charging 95.9p per litre. That's £4.35 a gallon for Super Unleaded.

I wonder how much of that is Government tax and how much is just a greedy petrol company.

Petrol prices in London are now extortionate.

:(

[bobbob94]

Much as I don't like the idea of increasing the profits of oil companies I think petrol prices (and especially aviation fuel prices but thats a slightly different issue) should reflect their true environmental cost. So whatever petrol costs where you live its probably not enough! :roll:

[Jesterday]

Here in Labrador it is currently $1.27 a liter multiply that by 3.7854 to convert to a gallon, you get approximately $4.81 a gallon!

Winter sucks here, US driving season so all our prices go up about 10c/L or more. Then there was an oil shock in Nigeria, bumps up the price a bit more. two weeks ago i could get 98 RON for $1.33/L, not regular 92 RON is the same price and some more.

WA is good to get LPG conversions for your car though, get two rebates adding up to $3000 (can't remember the breakdown). and LPG is about 55c/L here. Doesn't get taxed as much hehe.

My area of Texas has broken $3.00 per gallon for the summer season (which is unreal for us).

The reason for that is purely geographical.

[WishMaster]

Yesterday, there was a documentary on tv.
The demand for oil will keep increasing (let's say lineair, although it is more likely to be exponential).
The worldwide production of oil will slow DOWN.
So, at a given point, there will be a huge gap between the 'production' and the 'demand', which will lead to unpayable prices for all oil-products. The are predicting this will occur around 2010-1015.

Alternatives:
- hydrogen: the production of hydrogen is 4 times the (energy)cost of the use of H2.
- Electricity: at the moment, you will need around 500kg of batteries to drive 100km
- solar: not efficient enough

We are all seriously screwed...

[azkehmm]

We are all seriously screwed...

Nah, we're not... Vegetable oil and bioethanol are both great substitudes for oil, and both can be made easily available. Vegetable oil will work in any diesel engine with a cheap extra component installed (I think it's a pre-heater or something like that) and bioethanol works in any standard petrol engine (as far as I remember). If the two, bioethanol is the most effective, as it can be made from any plant substance using different enzymes and wind/water/solar power.
As far as I can see, the only thing stopping the development of alternate fuels are oil companies trying to squeze the last few dollars from a dying industry.

Rough mental calcualtion tells me that is about the same price as what Bavo quoted.

Gas is ~$1.15 in Vancouver BC Canada - it costs me $1.06 to buy a USD (it costs me $1.50 to buy $1USD in 2000) so that equates to $4.10USD for a US gallon (3.78L).

Republic of Ireland. People from the North cross the border to get cheap petrol.

No matter where you live, the price of gas is too high.

[prizrak]

$3.40US about for 93 (going lower is disrespecting your car)

[azkehmm]

its about 95p a liter for diesel, 85p for petrol

(sorry guys, cant convert liters into gallons)

Isn't gallons imperial measurement?

lol, I suspect he does not know how to convert litres into his favourite measurement system.

1 Gallon (Imperial) = 4.54609 litres
1 US Gallon = 3.785411784 litres

Thus 1 litre = 1/4.54609 gallons = 0.2199 gallons

Once you have this you should be able to work out anyhting. The same goes for US gallons

I'll gladly pay $3.30 here in Ohio and keep my news channels all working. In our little town we have an ethanol plant being built that will consume 50, 000,000 bushels of corn. If we have high prices I'd rather see the farmers get some $$$. I remember reading somewhere that production is something like 2.5 gallons per bushel. It's just a drop in the bucket.

We are rural and haven't used a drop of fuel oil in 3 years. We cut wood that is already down or dead and also burn scrap wood from the lumber mills. $200.00 to heat a 2 story house in the winter isn't bad. To heat the same home with fuel oil would use 750 gallons during the winter. Conservation is the real answer to high prices.

I paid $2.95 on the way to work this morning. According to www.gasbuddy.com, if I had time to hunt around, I could have paid as low as $2.82 in The Cities here

Good thing you are in Oregon then, every time I see a Prius on the road it goes 15 mph with a huge queue behind it.

$3.05 is the cheapest I could locate as of yesterday in the burbs of Cincinnati, OH.=]

Nah, we're not... Vegetable oil and bioethanol are both great substitudes for oil, and both can be made easily available. Vegetable oil will work in any diesel engine with a cheap extra component installed (I think it's a pre-heater or something like that) and bioethanol works in any standard petrol engine (as far as I remember). If the two, bioethanol is the most effective, as it can be made from any plant substance using different enzymes and wind/water/solar power.
As far as I can see, the only thing stopping the development of alternate fuels are oil companies trying to squeze the last few dollars from a dying industry.

Diesel engines were originally developed by the Germans during WW2 to use vegetable oils. I think it was WW2.

I read a while back that a fellow in California is has a working 6 stroke engine. Most cars are 4 stroke (1. Intake, 2. Compression, 3. Power aka combustion, 4. Exhaust). The 6 stroke injects water to create steam power on the final stroke. This engine runs cool enough to not need a radiator and if I remember correctly uses half the fuel to create the same power.

What if he took it one step farther and had an engine that ran on vegetable oil and water and why didn't someone think of the steam before. Oh right steam was abandoned for gas engines. There were two brothers in the 1930-50 that worked on plain ole steam powered cars that could be ready to drive in less than 5 minutes.

Just for the record -- many Republicans (voters) do care about the environment. You might not see it in DC. The clowns there speak to the money and not to us working folks. Dem and Reps both are guilty of this.

[ShadowVlican]

it's around $1.05 / litre for regular here in toronto, CANADA

[ninthforce]

Prices are hovering around $2.96 where im at ;)

[CautionaryX]

I think it's around the $3.00 mark for regular around here in Richmond, Va.

I miss the days when high gas prices were $1.50 per gallon. :-/

[mrreality13]

i paid $2.93 here this morning:p:popcorn:

[daschmidty]

It's about $3.65 here in Chicago. Also reading some earlier posts, the US is in a very different fuel situation from the rest of the world regarding our dependence on automobiles. Outside of major city centers(I live about 30 miles outside of Chicago) our population density is very low compared to most of Europe, making public transportation more difficult to implement. The Chicago Transit Authority and it's suburban subgroups are in danger of going bankrupt pending a new wave of sales tax increases by the Illinois government due to skyrocketing costs. The needed coverage area for most US transit systems is very sizable(Chicago metropolitan area is 7212 sq miles ~18000 sq Km) and in many cases cost prohibitive to progress.

A gallon of gas where I live is $2.69 on a good day and around $2.92 on a bad day... The prices are what makes the day good or bad, in case you're wondering... :-(

[RAV TUX]

Don't know I never pay for gas, I use a Flexcar. (http://www.flexcar.com/) ;)

Gas prices suck ultra butt. Mainly because I cannot afford to drive my car and I cannot afford to buy a fuel saving car.

1983 Oldsmobile / Regency 98. It's like a tank without the gun.
