Gas prices

[Wildkat]

As of today, our regular fuel (91) is 1.80 a litre, and our premium is $1.89 a litre. That adds up to $6.80 a US gallon for 91, or $8.17 a UK gallon.

Hopefully thats far enough across the pond for you Kat.

Thank you Brian. WOW! That's still pricey! Has the price gone down at all there?

And from a bit further across the ditch, I paid $1.24 per litre for 91RON ULP.
Dunno where they got the figures from in that chart that Wildcat posted up??

I Googled it
I figured those prices were off but I couldn't find a decent source.
Thank you for the info.

Up here in the boonies I just bought ethanol free 87 octane for $2.30 a gallon. That was at the Sunrise Grocery near Blairsville, GA.

GA - SC pricing

Prices I saw in South Carolina this past weekend for 87 Octane (Shell, BP, Exxon & no name off brand etc.) ranged from $1.71 to $1.79 per gallon.

In Georgia prices vary quite a bit by location. 87 Octane runs $1.79 to $1.89 on average. But as you get into Audi / Porsche / Beemer land of Atlanta neighborhoods it runs $1,95 to $2,10. South Georgia pricing is generally 5-10 cents lower than north Georgia so $1,75 to $1,85 down there. Atlanta area gets its 'juice' mostly off the Colonial Pipeline with juice made in the Texas refineries. many thanks Baytown, Texas City & Port Arthur and our US oil workers.

certainly many complex geo-political factors in all this. Plus global oil is a US$ denominated commodity so as us$ strengthens the price falls. As they say, "Don't mess with Texas"

Dammit.

It hasn't dropped below $2.20 here on LI. We get screwed both ways here can't wait to leave.

Western Colorado. Prices are stabilizing at around $1.95 - $1.99 after dropping to a low of $1.68 (Grand Junction, CO). Unleaded regular. Diesel is $2.50 - $2.60, down from $4.10 at the end of last summer.

As Motoman said, the local grocery chain - City Market / King Soopers - offers "loyalty card" holders a discount on gas, $.10 for every $100.00 in sales. I purchased fuel for $1.16 last Saturday. You can get extra fuel points through the City Market web site and for buying things like gift cards in addition to groceries.

Given that I drive around 700 miles a week the low prices really help me out. I have several extra gas cans and fill up every other week using the fuel point discount. Last week I used 24.3 gallons, about average for winter use when I am not running my other toys. Saving $2.00 per gallon saves me at least $200.00 per month. I know prices will go up again but I am enjoying the low prices while they last.

Had the bike out yesterday for a ride, temps in the low 50s and quite nice, although you have to watch out for shady spots where there is still frost / snow on the roads. Not commuting weather yet, snow flakes in the air as I write this.

Thank you all for chiming in!
Still hoping to hear from across the pond...
Guess I could Google it...

Makes that offshore run easier to swallow right now! $300 v/s $700 last year.

I use a 100gal tank to haul it to the gulf coast for the boat. Only 1 place on the water near me and that's if they have any. Most times it's $1.50-$2.00/gallon more. And always have some in there when needed around the house.

I hear you there. I really hope I'm wrong but everything is pointing in the other direction.

Yeah, it'd be nice if you could get some barrels and stock up on the stuff, but it goes bad so fast now.

[STEPPENWOLF]

Saudi Arabia is still producing oil out the ying yang,opec doesn't like that. It only costs them about 6 bucks a barrel to produce.Stick a straw in the ground and you have a well.I read it costs us about 56-60 a barrel for oil.Thousands might be layed off here from what I read.
Gas has dropped but it is only one product from oil.Plastic is based on petroleum.They are
now making plastic based on a corn base in Columbus OH.
Demand is down world wide.
Why doesn't the cost of a qt of oil come down?
Anybody use diesel,doesn't look like the price came down much compared to gas and that is what powers our trucks and trains.
What a rant.

Not exact but 1.00 (Canadian dollar per litre) =

2.97373243 U.S. dollars per US gallon. So your pretty much the same as the rest of the region.
