How Much Is Gas In Your Area.

[Penny]

http://autos.msn.com/everyday/GasStations.aspx?m=1 2.85 is the average here. :(

[Barkiss]

$2.93 here :(

I remember in 1996, during the Atlanta Olympics, the gas price at the corner store next to my office was 69 cents. Seems like yesterday!

[Penny]

People are hurting here now. Business people we know are complaining that no one is buying anything. Mall parking lots are almost empty. Kind of scary

[dartgirl]

The price of unleaded here is $2.79 for unleaded but the killer is the $2.95 for diesel. All the truckers, loggers and farmers are hurting.

[Penny]

My husbands truck for work uses diesel. It gets better milage than gas does but its still killing us. Our gas bill has doubled in the past year. Our income is way down the past year. Every night though I hear the economy is stronger than ever :(

[Trev]

$2.82 a gallon

[Sandy]

our gas prices around here are 8. 81 to 2. 85 for unleaded. its killing everybody.

[Penny]

I know its like 6 bucks a gallon in England but people in England arent paying 800 bucks a month for health insurance either.

[Sandy]

thats true. my best friens is a truck driver, and its killing them to.

[G...G]

It went up over night.. $2.87

[Wet Beaver]

$3.60......about time to ride the motorcycle again......

[Wet Beaver]

here is a site that keeps track of prices around the country..looks like ZP pays the least....

[upstr84u]

don't really look -- company vehicle - compant fuel card --- why is there a problem?

[Jy]

It's gone down today to $1.02 a litre.:(

[G...G]

Thats not funny



don't really look -- company vehicle - compant fuel card --- why is there a problem?

[upstr84u]

it is the truth -- may not be funny -- but it is truthful -- sorry for not being funny -- losing my touch -- but i did notice KY Jelly even spiked up over night

[Shiane]

$2.79 and up!

What burns my ass is that diesel is the first thing they make, it's cheaper to make and easier, they don't have to refine it like gas and it's still higher!

Food for thought..............

If Geroge Bush wasn't making a dime on oil would gas be so high? I can answer that in two words!

HELL NO! :spbx:

[kissiemybuttie]

gas here on post is 2.86 a gal...i think this is totally nuts...watching news today one of the oil companies reporting a 34.4 million profit the 1st quarter....as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer!!!!

[sweet]

It's 2.95 around here. It's terrible for me because I have to drive an SUV almost 30 miles to school and back 4 days out of the week. So that's about all the running around I do anymore. It adds up quick!

[upstr84u]

lets go over this -- oil is not the problem -- barrels not going up -- we have plenty of oil -- shortage is refineries -- not enough and all have not been updated in 40 years -- and sad to say busch does not own no refineries - only one to blame is ourselves for using to much all the time -- it is us / consumers that is driving up the demand and if anyone of us owned the gas station we would also be raising the prices --- supply / demand /// greed ---

there is a lot more than just bush......al gore owns a lot of oil stock so does the kerry's...and if you really look in to all them you see they all are invested in oil stocks....so am i....and if you have 401ks...you most likely are too.....

[Norfolkdave]

Yesterday at the pumps here in the uk 95p per litre, ( cant work out that in Us dollors Sorry)

[kissiemybuttie]

Yesterday at the pumps here in the uk 95p per litre, ( cant work out that in Us dollors Sorry)



Hey Dave...when I was in Scotland in 04...the gas was 92p an litre...

[Wet Beaver]

Yesterday at the pumps here in the uk 95p per litre, ( cant work out that in Us dollors Sorry)

95p is about $1.72 US

[Zpanther]

95p is about $1.72 US

So that would make it what?..... about $5.00 a gallon. I suppose that's about right for over there. Europeans are used to a lot higher fuel prices than we are. Been that way for a long time.

[Annie]

Gas around here is about $2.89 a gallon, quite a bit more in Chicago though.

[Wet Beaver]

So that would make it what?..... about $5.00 a gallon. I suppose that's about right for over there. Europeans are used to a lot higher fuel prices than we are. Been that way for a long time.

i think it works out about $6.00 a gal.....but i don't know if i did the converstion right.....

[Norfolkdave]

Do you realize how many times i was in Edinbough??????? Do you?????

[Shiane]

I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil :

Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! We're now at $53+ a barrel.

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo.......................0 barrels
Sunoco.................0 barrels
Conoco.................0 barrels
Sinclair.....................0 barrels
BP/Phillips............0 barrels
Hess........................0 barrels
ARCO.......................0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.

[sweetgapeach]

I paid 2.99 the other day, made my tummy turn !

[sex_kitten_4u]

Do you realize how many times i was in Edinbough??????? Do you?????


yeah but i am in perth :D you forgot didnt you

Then you should come to the flatlands and meet me too and enjoy Norfolk hosptality:wa:

now way you could handle kissie and i on a night out i just know you couldnt :wa:

The top six countries (by percentage of total USA imports) supplying crude oil to the USA in January 2002 were:

Saudi Arabia: 16.9%Mexico: 15.1%Canada: 15.0%Venezuela: 14.4%Iraq: 11.4%Nigeria: 5.9.%
(Henceforth, our definition of "Middle East" will encompass the five countries identified by the U.S. Department of Energy as "Arab OPEC" nations: Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. This definition does not include other oil-exporting countries identified by the DoE as "Persian Gulf" exporters, such as Bahrain, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.)


You tell me Bush isn't making any money off oil BULLSHIT!!!! I know for a fact Bush along with the Walton's have many oil wells in Saudi.

By the way Upstr84U, didn't you just say yesterday that it didn't matter to you how much gas was, and I quote "don't really look -- company vehicle - compant fuel card --- why is there a problem?" Sorry but I didn't find that comment remotely amusing! Well hunnie the rest of have to pay for it out of our own pockets! Demand is going up, I don't believe that, like someone said earlier the mall parking lots are empty, people are not traveling as much, hell they can't afford too! I do agree the promblem is greed! Granted we have some refinery issues but thats an excuse! Why is diesel less refined and hgher than gasoline?

So shiane compared to the UK at 95p per litre how much is it in the states and what would that be cost wise if converted from dollars to uk pounds, as the UK pays a hell of a lot of tax per litre compared to europe.:wa:

Please remember that you need 3.8 litres to make one US gallon. One Euro equals at this writing about US$1.25.....therefore:

United Kingdom pays for one US gallon:
US$ 6.42 $6.80 $6.68

France pays for one US gallon:
US$ 6.31 $6.58 $5.38

How much is gasoline, and diesel in the States? Let's compare. :whee:

(Hope my math is not wrong :D )

[Zpanther]

That's pretty close. Europeans used to pay about 3 times what we do in the U.S. It's still over double what's it's costing us here. We've always had pretty cheap oil .... That's one reason we import it, rather than using our own.

[cherokeered]

around 2.83 here...in Jersey....

[Jy]

Well, I need to throw my two cents in here, for what it's worth...
I believe gas prices need to double or triple. Because there is access to
cheap gasoline, very few people demand fuel-efficient or, more
importantly, alternate energy vehicles. How may 6- 8 cylinder vehicles
do you see each day that are being used only as single passenger vehicles?
Everyone who is literate is aware that the polar caps are melting, and
there are many days each year when it is considered detrimental to your health to go outdoors because of air pollution. Here in London, we have had several air quality warnings already this year, which will be a daily occurance come summer!
The majority of people do not take any action whatsoever, including buying vehicles that pollute at an obscene rate. We have the technology, we have the money, but the average mentality puts horsepower ahead of breathable air. Although they are happy to destroy the atmosphere, will scream and rant if they have to pay $200 to fill up their Escalade.
Gas really needs to be up around the $3-4 a litre mark. What will happen then is that car manufacturers will suddenly have all sorts of efficient options- (those that do not have them already that is) - and most importantly, the SUV enthusiast will make more intelligent choices on his next vehicle. This will also spur the use of public transit - another under-utilized resource.
Lowering gas prices is short term gain for horrible, catastrophic, long term
pain.

[Zifnab]

I find most of your points acceptable, but may I inquire how mass transit will help rural areas, or what will happen to the small farmer if he can't afford new equipment that runs on alternative fuels, or the current fuel at those prices? Yes we need to make a change to our mentality and start to treat our Mother as she deserves, but will the loss of farms and then the soaring food prices which will follow really make the world a better place? Food riots are never good for much more than reducing a populations numbers quickly.
not disagreeing, just offering more things to consider....

[DefinitelyNeedanAffair]

$2.89
I'm very glad I drive a Honda Civic right now.
Get on average 40mpg.

[Jy]

Obviously I wasn't referring to the rural areas. I'm talking about public transit systems that are already in place.

Thank You WB!

I guess it all boils down to this, gas is high and I seriously doubt it will go down. No amount of bitching and griping will change that.

Gas/Diesel is what makes the world go round, we rely on it for everything! Transportation, shipping of all goods via highway, air, or waterways, famers and ranchers can't live without it. The biggest problem I see is not only high gas prices but that this has and will continue to trickle down and affect the price of clothing, education, all food, construction of homes and businesses, construction and maintenance of our highways, transportation personal and business.

You name it, if it requires supplies to be shipped in or out, the increased cost will trcikle down and come out of our pockets. Question is can you afford it? Has your wages doubled or tripled to keep up with this increase in the cost of living?

[Rooboy]

You MUST be an Aussie!!:D

hah no way :sc

[SirFox]

So that would make it what?..... about $5.00 a gallon. I suppose that's about right for over there. Europeans are used to a lot higher fuel prices than we are. Been that way for a long time.

ZP: One never gets used to paying "so much more" than other countries.
