Today Thursday day before Good Friday in Melbourne Aust it went to $1.50 per Lt.
Yesterday I bought it for $1.30 per Lt.
How can the oil companies justify that?

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

No idea, but they have us over a barrel really hey?

On Tuesdays around here the cars wait 5 or 6 deep to get fuel. Last time I went, I lined up only to find that they'd turned the pumps off on all but the standard. I had a very unhappy car for a week and they magically had premium on the Wednesday.

I just don't understand how it works.

Well, OPEC ultimately controls the prices, petrol companies just sell it on the consumer level.

Calla - Wow, sounds like a panic.

Here it's about $3.65 per gallon for regular unleaded (not that I've seen leaded in my lifetime, but some people call it just "unleaded"...). Some of the cheapest in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's actually getting to the point that people are buying less gas. So what I've been hearing is that the oil companies will soon be putting the pressure on OPEC to lower the crude prices so that people will keep buying gasoline... I can't believe I was around at a time when people thought $1.85 per gallon was expensive.

Yeah, it's generally around $3.65-3.75 per gallon here.

That's a bit under US$1.00 per liter, or AUS$1.10 per liter.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I think we are at about $1.44AUD/L, or we were on Thursday. I haven't been paying that much attention.

3.46 i think for reg... 3.70ish i think for premium? I'll have to buy the latter in a few weeks time when i get my camaro out

You guys make me feel good to live in colorado. I just filled up this morning and for regular unleaded I paid $3.07 a gallon.

$3.29/gal for reg'lar, $3.50ish for premium here...

I actually can't wait to start paying for premium, because it's gonna be cheaper in the long run. My truck is heavier, has only a 5 speed, larger frontal surface area, is higher off the ground etc etc and gets 17 give or take, whereas my camaro's got 6 speeds, is sleeker, weighs less etc etc and i can squeeze 26 out of it on the highway.

I don't...
Sold my car last year - best decision I made. Saves me so much money, and I don't need it living in the city now anyway

$3.19 - $3.25 here near detroit for regular

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

$3.39 to $3.49 in Chicago area.

Paid 2.99 for regular last week in New Jersey, was in town for a wedding! It was 2.95 the day we went down, and I saw it as high as 3.09 before filling up.

Was up to $3.40 for regular last night when I got gas.... I couldn't even look at the price for premium o.O

$3.07 last week when i filled up...

haven't filled up this week yet...
