$2.30

We are around $2.60 here in the good ol' land of Wisconsin.

Good news it that state government here is pushing a bill (and it's gotten really far) that will get rid of the gas tax. Roughly would save 100 bucks if you have two cars.

But you only save money if you have two cars?

Damn buck, where are you filling up? The BP here in Sussex is up to $2.78

It's hard to beat 35mpg highway..just not worth a few thousand $$ to 'upgrade' to a slower car for another 3mpg. :p

[QUOTE=Darth Evad]canadian dollars. US gallons.[/QUOTE]

That brings it down to ~$3.30-ish USD? Not too much higher than what people in CA are probably paying.

$2.60 here too, NE.

I'm sure everyone knows, but there's a prototype car that gets 200 MPG on a tank of gas... has 12 or something batteries and requires charging overnight, but it'll be worth it b/c you're not going to fill your tank every 3 days... more like every 3 weeks or something, so you have money to pay for the charging

I didn't know that and I don't believe it. Link?

Damn suburban yuppies who drive huge SUVs to work and back need to stop buying damn SUVs just to drive to work and back! Because then when they run out of gas in their 24 gallon tank after a week of driving, they go and fill up their huge tank, reducing supply, increasing demand and therefore raising the gas prices.

They need to go to the dealership, trade in their huge vehicle that is obviously compensating for something, and get a 4 cylinder that gets 25-30 miles/gallon.

The only people who should be driving SUVs are people who go out and do SPORTY things, where they need to UTILIZE their SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE. Not the afformentioned yuppie who throws his briefcase in the front seat, drives through dutch bros for his morning latte, and swing on into work.

/rant.

I don't have a link because my dad mentioned it in the car yesterday... sorry.

(btw, wish I had a link... I want a car like that)
Okay, I did a seach for "hybrid car" on cnn.com and got this...

Agreed.

I drive a Suburban, just spent $75 filling it up. Stupid 35 gallon tank.

Also, I drive the Suburban because I need something that I can carry a lot of stuff in for my job, and I didn't want a truck. Sucks that it only gets 12mpg though.

$2.67 (as of last night), and I do between $10-20 a day (pizza delivery)

I bet OPEC isn't really the reason gas prices are going up. I bet oil companies are using the war as an excuse to increase prices.

I was told there are 2 main reasons for gas price inflation...
1. Supply and Demand -- China and India's gas consumption is growing... you can guess that means high demand and not enough supply -- boom! higher prices
2. The king in Saudi Arabia died and his son took over... someone's supposedly using this as an excuse to raise oil prices, or something like that

I saw that. I'd be all over it if the elctricity came from a clean source. Electric cars are fake environmentally friendly cars, for the most part.

It's about $2.60-$2.65 here in california... What a rip off. What I would give for a zero-point energy powered car.

They claim that a lot of the refineries are down for "maintenance" but I really suspect price gouging. If I'm right, then they should send whoever's responsible to f***ing hell for it.

Never happen.

Page: It's in the $2.80 range down here. It's > $3/ for the 91 octane.

i didnt know this blood for oil deal was gonna be a 1:1 ratio. what a screw

Gas is more expensive up in Northern Ca. Always has been.

quoted for truth, my friend.

I've seen a lot of these people drive like utter a**holes b/c they think they are invincible in their SUVS. It's as if they expect people in vehicles that weigh under 2 tonnes to yield for them. These people totaly fit the stereotypical SUV driver that holds a latte in one hand, a cell phone in the other, and they steer with their knees. It pisses me off immensely.

the reason why there are so many of these things on the road is that there is a tax break that you are eligible for if you buy an SUV. I think we should go the other way.... how about an SUV TAX? (under the reasoning that SUV s use up so many resources and get so many benefits (like smog check exemption and the aforementioned tax break) that more efficient vehicles don't get. )

I'm glad I filled up a week and a half ago when it was 10 cents cheaper.

Right now I'm glad I drive a four-banger car.

Exactly, take that people who drive SUVs for no decent reason! <3

The reason there is a tax break for SUVs is because back in the 70s the farm lobby successfully got a tax break through Congress which gave them benefits for trucks/truck chassises for their work purposes. Might've been worth it back in the day...

Yeah... with family owned farms down to less than 5% of the farming population and all these ****tards using legalese to cram SUVs into their garages it doesnt make sense anymore. But that's America for you. You can do whatever you want!

90.2 pence / litre

Although I spotted 95p at a texaco garage the other day, think it was diesal though.

My back itches. BUUUUUSH!

I get gas for ~$2.70 in PA, but there's the occasional place with $2.65

Stop whining...
About €1.27/litre... which comes to just under $5.9/gallon.

*shivs everyone whining about their prices in the throat*

Last I checked, Iceland is still doing a good job of trying to become the first nation that depends soley on hydrogen...modern solar cells are supposed to provide enough energy for electrolysis. They're trying to create hydrogen on site at the pump. Oh, and it's also insanely cheap, safe, and efficient...

Is it really as efficient as gasoline? I read somewhere that hydrogen requires five times the volume (at reasonable pressures) of gasoline to store the same amount of energy.

[QUOTE=Daeron the Nerfherder]Stop whining...

I think I told someone it's 7 € per litre now.

Damn it.

I bought it for ~$2.50 last night. I saw some place that was ~$2.35 right after that. First time I ever bought gas for over two dollars. About $25 to fill up my Saturn 2000S. I wish I still lived in Berlin where I didn't have to drive.

Come graduation, I'm looking into getting a used hybrid. If they've invented used hybrids by then. :em321:

I think prices are around $2.30-$2.40 here. Of course the worst thing about it is that other things are going up in price due to delivery costs.



And according to a documentary that was on the history channel the exhaust of a hydrogen fueled car is just about the same as drinking water.



It may not be efficient right now but it makes sense that the deeper we look into hydrogen fueled cars the more efficient we'll be able to make them.

I imagine the biggest problem we'll have in making alternative fuel sources become the norm is oil companies not wanting it to happen because of their empire(s).

$2.69 here for the most part. I've seen it range from $2.54 to $2.75 depending on what part of town I'm in. And usually the $2.54 people will be out of gas.

Berlin is reasonably built up and easy to get around. In Williamstown, I have to drive for the most part, so that isn't an option. The price on Super Wawa's sign fluctuates hourly, so I don't know what the price is now. I bought some in Turnersville for $2.49 on Thursday. At least gas is cheaper here in New Jersey than it is in Pennsylvania.

$2.56, just got gas last night.

[QUOTE=Darth Evad]speculation could very easily, and i repeat very easily, lead to the thought process;
bush senior bombs iraq in 1991. oil sky rockets. bush makes tons of money because that's what he does. oil.
bush jr. takes all steps necessary to find a way to bomb iraq because it's in his best interests, his presidential legacy be damned. he is a very very and much more very rich, more rich than you and i will ever ever be because he bombed iraq.
ever see the movie the corporation? stock traders talking about how they couldn't wait until bush bombed iraq because the first time it happened they made alot of money. this time they made more.

it's very easy to come to the conclusion that bush bombed iraq for the financial gain. very easy. you don't even have to be a conspiracy theorist. it just makes sense.[/QUOTE]

Um, no. It goes up because there's less supply, not because the oil companies raise their prices to make bigger profits every time some thing happens in the middle east. Also, we hadn't been buying oil from Iraq. We had and embargo on them. Furthermore, a very viable alternative reason forhim to bomb them was Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. (sp. ?)

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.



p.s. this is a joke
