I saw 3.13 for the good shit
All i know is that $3 a gallon is way too high for Texas. We HAVE to drive far down here.
In California, specifically the Bay Area and Los Angeles, it is never shocking when gas begins to near the $3/gal mark. At my local gas station, it was $2.99/gal when I drove by today. I miss living in Houston where gas was $1.30/gal heh.
It was up to 6.17 a gallon here in Atlanta.
In Montreal yesterday, it reached $1.35 per litre, which would be about $5.13 per gallon, and that's regular unleaded gas... I need to put at least 93 octane in my car, so I pay about 1.45 a litre :eek:

Have a good one ...
Over here its nz$1.53 per litre for 91 octane gas not to sure how many litres in a gallon maybe someone here could tell me :) for 96octane i think its about nz$1.80 a litre which i think should be about us$1.25 per litre
What is the purpose of getting high octane gas? I've always wondered does it improve performance of regular cars? What exactly does it do?
$2.93 US today..cost me $69 to fill up an hour ago...sucks
It is pretty much the exact price here in aus per litre but premium unleaded is more.In one car we have its old and takes super which is the leaded petrol because cars that are older than 20 yrs can use regular.But super is cheaper but worse for the environment.Quote:

I hope to God you are kidding with us. If you are joking, for future reference please keep in mind that most people on these boards are prone to bouts of paranoia, namely myself. So based on your post, I'm going to trade in my SUV (I know it sucks for the environment so keep your comments to yourselves) for a scooter.Quote:

Basicly theres More Oxygen molicules in hi Octain fuel so it firers Harder at the stroke..
BTW..regular unleded petrol here in Australia is $1.20 per litre exprcted to hit $1.60 soon..
Scarlet... you saw gas that was 6.19!! what da fuck!!!!!
I saw gas at the cheap station in Nor cal for 3.21 a gallon.. yesterday it was 2.89 at the same station.....
anicca
Think about it! This is all a huge scam by the oil companies! What percent of gas does the US actually produce? Like 3% or something, and out of that 3 percent like maybe 10% was damaged in the hurricane so therefore shouldn't gas prices go up by .3% (very negligible amount). So WTF why are the prices skyrocketing? Because every one of out nations leaders has money invested in oil companies and they dont give a shit if were gettin ripped because it just makes them richer.
I think we should have a fucking revolution and guillotine these shitbags!
we produce around half of what we use......

There's also a danger,that the motor ain't esigned to handle the hotter combustion temps that high octane fuel generates and damge could result..like scorching of the cylinder and valves,as well as the pistons. Back in the '70's,we used to put 93 octane fuel in our hotrods,along with a gallon or 2,of 'jet' fuel,which ran about 104 to 118..I think. I hope I helped to explain better.
Have a good one !
some places in Ireland are up to US$7.25 a gallon. :eek:Quote:

Also thank you Torog for the info.
Highest is $3.59 a gallon :mad:
I worked it out, 3.78 litres in 1 US gallon X GBP£1 X 3.78 US$1.84= US$6.95
US$6.95 per gallon we pay
So if i did it correctly that's how much we in England pay for petrol, sometimes slightly less, sometimes slightly more.
3.10 a gallon for regular in dallas, fuck bush!
Premium was around $3.80 in the city last week. Haven't bought gas since then. I paid $3.29 for regular at the shitty citgo in my neighborhood.
You're all complaining about petrol, we pay just over double what you're paying right now, & that's normal here!
This country sucks!
