| H'okay, so we might as well make a thread about it.
What are the prices like in your area compared to what they were at not long ago? At the moment our average gas price is around $4.50. Six months ago, the average was between $3.50 and $3.75. While Arco and some of the cheaper brands sell for about $4.39, Chevron and others sell in the area of $4.65. Going into L.A. this weekend, I'd seen a few stations trying to unload it for $4.90 and into the early $5's. I'm hearing around that some southern Californians are driving down into Mexico for their gas because it's $3.10 in Tijuana. Problem is it's a different fuel mixture, having too much sulfur for American cars. In the end, it would destroy your cars emission control system. (Last edited by Rogue on 07-06-08 04:38 AM) |

| Here in Palm Desert gas prices range from $4.50- $4.70 for regular, and gets up to $4.85+ for premium.. and diesel (because my husband and I have a diesel truck) is between $5.00 and $5.20. It's way too much. *sigh* I go no where I don't have to, and my little car gets awesome mileage. 22 city and 36 highway.... but still. I are broke. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| That's all just sad ... it's constantly around $4.00 here, which I can't stand but it's obviously worse in other places like where you guys are. It takes about ~$50 for me to fill up now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It's floating around $4 around here, I would be irritated, but I don't have to drive, and everything I need to go to(grocery stores, game stores, restaurants, work, pretty much everything) is literally across the street from where I live. I can see most of them from my house.  (Last edited by Vulkar on 07-05-08 11:25 PM) |

| Where I live it's about £1.20 per litre, I've seen it as high as £1.40 and as low as £1.05 though. Also if you spend £50 in my local Tesco store, they give you 5p per litre off.
Quick estimate is about $10.50 per gallon. However the show Top Gear was saying how cheap it actually is. If you think about the trouble gone through to get the stuff, floating a huge oil rig out to sea, dig holes until you find oil, ship it off to a refinery the size of a small county, then transport it to tanks to serve to the public for just over a pound a litre is cheap. Especially considering mineral water can cost more than that in some places (One example was a place one of the presenters went to, and they were selling mineral water for £4.99 a litre). EDIT: There's also the fact the government take a lot of that money (about two thirds of it here), so these oil companies are actually doing it for about 40p per litre (About 75 cents roughly...? $3.50 a gallon?)

Originally posted by Ryan Only recently, then that's the way it's sort of become now. The government recently enacted a tax on the oil companies, which is what started the gas price explosion, it was around $2.00-$2.50 a gallon around where I am before that, even after Hurricane Katrina. On a side note, how many people still think that the war in Iraq was for oil? |

| Gas prices here are around 4. It's ridiculous.
Oh, and Vulkar? Oil companies are making a higher profit on oil today than they ever have. |

Gas prices in Northern CA are pretty much the same as what they are in Southern. They are about $4.50 on average, they dropped a whole three cents recently though  !
I'm not driving at this point so it isn't really bothering me personally. I plan on buying a scooter, which will probably be electric anyway, so I don't think I have to worry, yet. |

| it's roughly 145.38 per litre up here in British Columbia (converts, hoping he remembered the formula) about 3.20 a gallon? Still, I like how the government planned a 5 cent increase in our gas prices on Canada day... XD
edit(why not?): Not a problem for me, since I walk everywhere, and if I had too could take my bike. (Last edited by Genome on 07-11-08 03:49 AM) |

| It was $4.01 here a few days ago, but that only lasted a day and has since dropped a whopping 4 cents to $3.97 as of yesterday. The economy is very fragile right now -- I'm curious to see what's going to happen Monday when the markets open. As of right now stocks are down almost 200 points and oil is up to 144.84. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| It finally seems like it's ebbing a little. About 5 or 10 cents off the average.
Awwright. Giggity giggity. Well at least it's not been cooler than the last few summers. Yeah, not much consolation. |
