OT Poll: What are gas prices in your area?

I've been lucky living here in Greenville, SC for the last ten years, (if you can put up with the "BOJO's"). We have some of the lowest, if not the lowest gasoline prices in the country. I have a hard time remembering when it was over $1.00! Gas is currently 76 cents in many locations. A few months ago, I paid 75 cents in Spartanburg. How low can these prices possibly go? What do y'all pay for regular old unleaded gas, and what part of the country is it? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove "spam-jammer" to reply Peace, love and Monkeemobiles, Galley

About $.85 for regular here, and the premium that I have to use is around $1.05 to $1.09 depending on how close to the interstate it is, and how far away from other competing stores <G> These prices are the lowest I've seen in about four years.

Here in Cupertino, Calif., 87 octane is going for about $1.10 per gallon. Last Friday when I rode up to Sacramento, I was surprised to find that when I refueled in Benicia, the gas was $1.75 per gallon. I gave 'em $2 thinking that would be more than my scooter would take, for I was at about a quarter tank but would need to fill up to make it to Sacramento, yet was shocked to see that I'd hit $2 on the pump before getting near full. That is when I noticed their price. Hoil! You'd think a place where the damn refineries actually are might be cheaper, but I guess they gouge since that station is the ONLY station for miles'n'miles and they know they're gonna get a lot of folks running out of gas there along that more desolate part of Interstate 680. That gas station also is the only gas station I've ever seen that's also a TCBY and a Carl's Jr. all rolled into one. You can't get higher than 92 octane in California unless you buy at a race track. Not sure why that is. I see in a lot of ads that other places commonly see 93 octane (and higher I suppose, but I see a lot of 93). -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 3 Oct.

I live in Western Massachusetts and regular at the ultra cheapo stations hovers around 1.02 and sometimes goes down to about .99. I use 93 octane premium in my Neon ACR and pay anywhere from 1.21~1.27 per gallon for it. We have a lot of taxes up here. daxe ---== http://www.newsfeeds.com - Largest Usenet Server In The World! ==--- ---== http://www.newsfeeds.com - Largest Usenet Server In The World! ==---

Up here in BC, Canada, 87 octane is at 53.7 cents(CDN)/litre. How that translates into $US/gallon I'll leave up to you. :)

Jeez...I've gotta move. After reading a few of the responses to this thread I started looking around at fuel prices here in Los Angeles while driving around today. The least expensive was $1.11 for regular at an ARCO station , generally the cheapest gas around unless you buy that watered down ***the independant dealers are selling. The most expensive self-serve premium was $1.53 at a Chevron dealer in a high-zoot neighborhood. The most expensive tank of gas I ever purchased was $60.00 US to fill up my BMW while driving through the Swiss Alps on Easter Sunday, they were the only game in town and knew they had us by the short hairs. -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caracciola

WOW!! In Portland Oregon, at least by my home, around $1.50 for premium. around $1.25 for regular unleaded. Although I don't pay much attention to gas prices, since I have to get it no matter what price it is. Oh ya Oregon does not have self serve, and I love it! hehe Who wants to get out of the car when it's cold and raining. hehe Sean Higgins "HigPup" #42 ROW 1 Racing Pontiac http://www.teleport.com/~higgy/

Roughly 85 cents per litre for premium (not gallon!) and about 75 cents for regular in Sydney, Australia.

damn you people make me sick, I pay 1.17 for my 626 (87 octane mobile) 1.45 for my RX-7 (93 octane mobile OUCH ddamn CT

The gasoline prices don't vary much throughout the country, no more than a few cents per litre. Trivia fact: the Swiss have held several national referendums to decide whether they would voluntarily pay *more* for their petrol. They have always voted yes. Of course, if you saw the quality of their roads, even the little secondary mountain roads, you would understand. They are superb. Petrol was appriximately $3.15 per US gallon in the town I was living in (Davos, in the eastern Alps). Enjoy your V8s. Stephen

Yes, I can confirm what is written above. We voted a few years ago to pay .20 CHF (about .15 USD) more a liter. That meant an increase in prices of about 20%, as one liter was around 1 CHF at the time. The extra income is used for road maintenance. Greetings from Switzerland!

Er,......"WOW!!"...? I'm sure all the UK regulars would LOVE those prices (in fact I visited Portland in summertime and really enjoyed those gas prices myself!). We're currently about $1.14 per LITRE in the cities, and if you go up to the very north of Scotland (where they have you over a barrel - you pay or you walk tens of miles through the mountains to the next station) you'll pay about $1.42 per LITRE - way over $5 per gallon. As far as I remember the most expensive petrol (gas) I have seen is in Iceland, although Norway and Sweden seemed pretty expensive too. Any Icelandic readers around able to confirm your prices these days? Cheers! John

Oh my! Swedish prices are about $1.00 per... LITRE!!! And there are, what, 4,5 litres to a gallon? Most of the price is taxes/VAT of course. /petern

Well, if it meant paying 10 cents less per gallon, you would probably get out in the cold and rain... :)

> > Oh my! > > Swedish prices are about $1.00 per... LITRE!!! > > And there are, what, 4,5 litres to a gallon? > 3.8 liters/gallon, actually Depends on where you're from. There are 3.8 litres in a US gallon, though here in the UK we get a better deal, with 4.54 litres to our gallon. 8) As for the price of petrol/gas/whatever, I can't say that I know, 'cos I don't have a car, so I don't worry about such matters. But I think it's about 60p per litre (that's about $1), most of which is tax... -- "Hear all, see all, say nowt; Eat all, sup all, pay nowt; And if tha ever does owt for nowt, allus do it for thassen."

Last tank of reg. unleaded in Atlanta: .78 a gallon. Only that low at independant stations (RaceTrack, Quick Trip etc.) Near the interstates :.80 - .90 a gallon Scott

93.9 cents for regular unleaded in North Carolina

Boy are you guys lucky... I live in Denmark, and here we pay (brace yourselfes): 3.8$ per gallon. You've got it made. Lars Gaarde :-(

In Germany, the prices are around $3.40 per US gallon (or 1.50 DM per Liter). The fuel taxes were raised by the former (conservative and claiming to be automobile-friendly) government to pay the bill for German unification and other "black holes". Despite earning billions from fuel and vehicle taxes, only a minor part of the money is used for road maintenance and traffic safety. My cousin Achim was killed 1994 in a motorcycle accident caused by a extremely slippery road surface (when wet, only a grip factor of 0.15 remained, which compares to ice!) which was "repaired" 3 years earlier with tar. Since then, the courts and state attorneys are delaying the law suit with ridicolous excuses (they claim can't interview a police man because he's "busy"). -- _____ /_______\ .\\ a t t h e a d I XT /~~~~ I 500\_____ 1977' Yamaha XT.Rex 500 Enduro \____/\__I_I http://matthead.home.pages.de/

In Woodbridge, VA - 20 minutes outside of D.C. and home of Potomac Mills Mall (i wish someone would set the place on fire already), the gas prices range from .72 cents at Sheets for the low-octaine stuff to about .98 cents for premium. Mobil, Exxon and Shell are all about .81 cents for the cheap stuff and 1.05 for premium. Wish I had a car already so I could take advantage of the price drops. At least it looks like they will keep dropping because of the overstock of oil/gas because of the lack of a asian market and the fact that most major oil companies/manufacturers are still drilling in the middle east at the same rate that they were last year. Which is making production way higher than any (American) market needs at this time. I just hope the lowered prices don't come back to bite us in the ass in a couple of years (2000?) when the mid-east market decides that they need to slow the drilling down and charge more, and the gas/oil companies start running out of gas. Old supply and demand thing could possibly come back to haunt us, but I'm sure as hell going to try and enjoy the prices around here while I can. And while I'm typing, if there is anyone out there that is still reading this, lives in the northern va, d.c. maryland area (any area that is about an hour drive or less from Woodbridge-Springfield area) and has a car for sale in the range of 2500 or less, give me an email. I might be interested.

It's about 65c around Bexley, and a little bit cheaper if I go down the Princess Hwy. To the north of Sydney the prices just go up and up. A BP tried to charge me 75c in North Ryde the other day. I just put in $3 and went to my normal station once I got home. You didn't want to know the prices in Australia?? I didnt want to know the prices in the US. Maybe you can stick to auto simulators from now on huh?

by six flags great adventure in n.j. gas at wawa is .65 cents lowest in the area 10 miles away in toms river (home of the little league world champions) gas is .95 cents go figure

$1.67 a gallon in town $1.80 outside of town. Free with most forms of Chile :-)

Here is a fun one, in southern california (less than 100 miles from dairy farms and oil refineries) we are currently paying $1.10 for gas and $3.49 for 1G of milk (any strand) just an annoyance in logic
