Guy, guys, what are you complaining about?

regular gas is EUR 1.20 a liter here, which comes down to $ 5,046 per gallon.

Diesel is a little bit better; EUR 0.90 a liter; $ 3.785 per gallon. :#(

To all

Have you ever noticed at a sniff of barrel prices going up the oil companies put up petrol straight away but and a very big but as it comes down they wait several weeks stating it takes a while to reach the petrol pumps.

Can any one work that logic out because I cannot.


When I first starting driving 1056 it would cost me less than 10shilings =$1 today to fill up my tank. That is in
Aust

OK I gassed up my truck this evening, and almost had a stroke at the price. We were talking about it in chat this evening, and I suppose it could be lots worse (at least I don't pay a tax, just to own a tv) I know when I was last in Presidio, the price of gas was what I thought was awful $1.78/gallon. Well, living so close to the refineries, our gas I would hope is some of the cheapest, but let's see...

2 weeks ago at the last fill up I paid $1.55/gallon today I paid $1.84/gallon. Usually I fill up 1-2 times a week, but was off last week and didn't go anywhere really, but around here in my truck:%)

So what is the price of your gas?

The oil companies are not much more than gangsters. If you control the oil you have the power.

$2.20 a gal yesterday. This was in the middle of no where central south Florida.

I was driving a company Tahoe. It cost me over 50 bucks to fill it up. Thank God for expense reports.

$1.94 last time I stopped.

I buy $10 worth of gas

I drive 400+ miles a week on that.


And I'm sure that's $5 not $5thousand for a gallon.

wisconsin, illinois and minnesota are always being gouged by someone when it comes to our gas there was an investigation a couple years ago because our gas got up to $2.50/g one summer when the rest of the area was only around $1.80 but of course, the government found that not only was there no price gouging going on, but there never was a problem with gas prices and our prices have been pretty close to the area average ever since.... gee i wonder why....
