Price of gas/petrol?

[schmenke]

What are you currently paying in your neck of the woods?

Around here the average price is about $0.80CAD per litre. If I do my math(s) correctly, that equates to about $2.65USD per gallon, or £0.35 per litre.

[grassrootsracer]

$2.21 per gallon of 87 octane.

[Hazell B]

Locally 92.9p per litre.
Large supermarket stations 89.9p per litre.

[BeansBeansBeans]

I have honestly never checked petrol prices in my whole life.

[Rollo]

I paid $1.12/L (44.79p) this morning for 91 RON petrol. 95 RON was at $1.19/L (47.59p)
Mind you the average wage in Australia from a monetary POV is only £11,000 compared with the UK average of £20,919.

87? My old car would have pinged like an absolutely bitch on that stuff. Never used to run too well on 92 octane so it was 98 for me!

I suspect that what he was getting at is that there's nothing he can really do about what price petrol is. He needs it, and thus has to buy it at whatever price it's on offer at. Fair enough to me.

Same here. When I did drive a car I'd buy the best petrol I could get for the car rather than looking at price and buying crap petrol :) It's not like you cha just choose not to buy petrol is it?>

[nicemms]

In my view. It is pointless driving miles just to get cheap petrol because there's chance you may have spend the savings on getting to the cheap petrol.

Also you can't help it when you run out of petrol.

[CarlMetro]

Personally I try to avoid motorway service stations but apart from that I don't really take much notice of how much the fuel costs because it is an essential comodity and I don't pay for it, my company does.

[donKey jote]

€0.62 per liter LPG :)

[harvick#1]

$2.29 here

[DocF225]

Just filled up at $2.59/gallon for 89 octane.

A$1.20 for BP Ultimate 98 here (Western Australia)

We have a site here called Fuelwatch (http://fuelwatch.com.au/prices/top100.cfm), which is run by the government, and lists all petrol prices around my city (Perth), I can choose for it to just show North of the River, and just the price of 98, so then I can just find the place closest to me, or on the way to somewhere I will be going, it's quite good :)

Seems like there are Western Australians coming out of the woodwork! I lived in Perth until about 6 months ago and suddenly now ever second person is from WA! :p

Too bloody much over here in little ol Africa :down:

[Daniel]

With your currency the way it is I wouldn't be surprised it it's R20 for a litre or something :crazy: At least the rand's better now than before.

[555-04Q2]

Its currently just under R6 per litre. But we supply Swaziland and they only pay R 4,20 per litre. Our government is tax heavy. 52% of our fuel cost is tax money for the government in one form or another.

Thanks to the Iraqi war, the Yanks are still getting a great deal compared to the rest of us.

;) It's OUR OIL... and we're gonna keep it !!!

J/K... I have NO IDEA where the Iraqi oil is going... but it's not coming here.

:dozey: Ask Dick Channey and his band of cut-throats... someone's getting the oil.

:s mokin:

[schmenke]

... someone's getting the oil.

Asia.

I have a company car and a fuel card so don't worry about the price.

[tstran17_88]

We are at 2.28 to 2.34 USD per gallon. I don't keep up with the exact numbers, but around 53 to 60 cents is tax from the state, federal and EPA...75% of that amount is state tax in our state, generally why gas is cheaper in most other states. We also have a minimum mark up law in this state that adds to that.

What I find amazing is that the last time I saw a station that sells E85 in WI was on my way back from the Packer game three weeks ago. We have few stations in this state that sell that, yet we have a lot of producers. The most amazing part is that it was 1.99 USD per gallon and yet it costs way more to produce than petroleum...hmmm, I wonder why the tax is so much on petro in WI?

I've been on here a while, I just don't post all that much, and when I do it's usually in the Nascar forum :P the new look got me to have more of a look around ;)

[wacked]

Rs. 51.53 per litre for 87 octane.. about 1.15USD about 0.90 Euro
Rs. 53.50 per litre for 90 octane.. about 1.20USD about 0.91 Euro..
i dont think we get 93 octane anymore.. and dont know the prices fro 91 and 97 octane..

Slightly better than the 69% we have in the UK.

[555-04Q2]

Slightly better than the 69% we have in the UK.

Thats just plain ridiculous if you ask me :(

[Mark]

And I would agree, it's madness, and they just put it up again last week.

Heres how it breaks down:
Pump price: 89.9p (before anyone says, this is what my local garage is, your local area may vary!)
Duty: 48.35p
VAT: 15.73p
Base price: 25.82p

So whenever someone says that petrol is now too expensive, take a look at how much it really costs.

[raybak]

Thanks for that Mark, you could come and work for me. I work for an oil company and everyone is alway at me about fuel prices, they won't listne when you tell them that over half the price is tax. In Australia we pay tax on the tax as well seeing as we have a GST.

Base price in Oz is about 68c but pump price is around $1.25 for 91 octane our lowest grade. That's at the servo near my place any way

Ray

[millencolin]

last night $1.09 a litre... thats 93 octane i think...

today it should be cheper, tuesday fuel here is usually the cheapest ofr the whole week

[Storm]

Here price of unleaded petrol (87 octane) is Rs 51.60 per litre ...which should translate to roughly $1.2 or 65p a litre :s

[Valve Bounce]

OK, I cycle past a service station everyday, so I have figured out the fluctuations here in Melbourne. Thursday is the most expensive with Regular Unleaded costing $AUD1.23 pe litre. Tuesdays are the cheapest with Regular Unleaded dropping down to $AUD1.09

95 Octane is around 6 0r 7 cents per litre more, then there is a higher Octane which costs around 11 cents more than Regular.

To some people, the couldn't care about the fluctuations, but I note that if I fill in on Tuesdays, I get High Octane slightly cheaper than the Regular stuff on Thursdays, and that makes me happier as I drive away from the pump.

[Alex Nakhapetov]

0.8$ 92 octane, 0.85$ for 95, 075$ for 76. When the car eats 20 litres for 100, and you are to go 2600 km to the champ stage and 2600 back home, you need 1000 litres... And here in Russia we have 9 stages of our championship this year...

[schmenke]

Well, after climbing slowly just before the Christmas holidays, the price per litre has dropped now. Just this morning I noticed a service station selling for 79.9 cents per litre (~ 0.34GBP/litre or $2.52USD/Gal.). That's the lowest I've seen in a long time. I would assume a similar trend in the rest of the world?

[Alexamateo]

Where I live (Tennessee, USA), it has now dropped to $1.96/gallon. That's about $.52/liter. I heard one station across town was selling it for $1.89/gallon.

This is for regular unleaded 87 Octane.

[jso1985]

Here in Bolivia its 3.74 bs./liter making it 0.46$US/liter.
I think my country is one of the few ones where the goverment pays part it(hence the price) rather than tax it and get some money of it. but we're far from what Venezuela does(0.03$US/liter there).

[raybak]

3 cents a liter sounds good, we might all have to move to Venezuela for the cheap fuel.

Ray

[jso1985]

heard it's actually a bad thing.most Venezuelans think all the money the goverment spends paying it, could be used in something more useful, and it created the horrible habit that Venezuelans use their cars for everything, even if they're going somewhere just a few meters from their house, almost no-one uses public transport and the Caracas traffic is said to be the worst in LatinAmerica.
Just read on todays newspaper that the price will be raised on Sunday

You want a kick in the teeth? Gas on weeknights around Oshawa drops down to 72 cents a liter, and never over 82 during the day. Yet 10 kms east in Bowmanville, it is about 82 to 84 all the time. It is ironic though you are paying more for gas in Oil country Schmenke...and that in a province with less taxes on gas....

[Steve Boyd]

Careful with gallons - remember a British gallon is 20% bigger than a US gallon!

[schmenke]

The price just jumped overnight from about $0.98 to $1.04 per litre. It's been a while since the price has been over $1.00 here. I heard on the squawk-box this morning that the petro-giants are blaming the price increase on "The cost of spring maintenance on their refineries..." :dozey: What a crock of sh!t!

Has anyone else experienced a similar recent jump in their neck of the woods?

[dime3]

Welcome to planet earth folks! :D That's how pricely gas here is.

[Mark]

Price is going up here too, 95p per litre. Thats about $2.12 in schmenke money.
