How Much Is Your Gas

[Yanki01]

$2.75...IDK what the heck is going on. I haven't seen it this low in years!

[MattTheTaff]

In the UK it's £1.29 per litre

That equates to $7.81 per US gallon at today's exchange rate

[Jefe21]

How do you justify driving at that price? How much is milk or a gallon of water?

Thats crazy

[strick13]

Just paid $3.02 here in Orlando, for 87 octane.

The fuel duty (taxes) is about 60% of what you pay at the pump in the UK, then I think their VAT is 20% right now, which explains their high fuel prices.

It's part of the reason small fuel efficient cars are so popular there, that and they're easier to drive and park on a lot of tight roads.

Spot on

50mpg minimum is more or less a requirement nowadays in the UK for newer family cars.

Funnily enough we worked out that it's cheaper to run two cars for 7 days/week (including insurance, road tax, MoT certificates) than to catch trains/busses to work for 5 days a week, such is the price of public transport in this country.

At the moment I spend approx £300 (US$480) per month on petrol between two cars. The wife works further away (60mile round trip) and spends £200 and I work locally (10mile round trip) so that's a £100 in my old banger. And that
Includes non-commuting stuff like driving to shops, golf, etc.

It would be interesting to know how much people I've in the US/Canada spend on fuel per month and how far that gets them

[Kaysquare]

$3.01 & dropping every week or so, we're hoping for $2.99 over the weekend.

[itchyfinger]

I paid 2.75 a gallon this morning. Regular.

[Lord Helmet]

$3.29 for regular unleaded here in Cincinnati. Was $2.99 a couple days ago for the same gas. Lowest its been in a long time.

[Olson12]

3.09 here in phoenix, az

[hogans71]

Basically $3.80-3.95 for mid grade here in downtown Chicago.

Passed a Mobil at $4.06.

Travel twenty miles outside the city and it's .20-.40¢ cheaper...

[nogamejames]

Just paid 3.69 for 91 in Fresno California

[/quote]That's what a socialist government will get you. Their prices on tobacco and alcohol are also astronomical. Sin tax.


A country like England - the whole U.K. - however is incredibly dense compared to a place like the U.S.

I drive a 500hp Mustang Cobra that gets 16mpg. 205 per tank and I fill up about once a week. $170/month in gas.

If I lived there I would be paying over $400/mo in gas. But I bet with your laws/regulations they probably wouldn't even let me drive a supercharged V8 lol

Socialist government?

Ha! You really have no clue what goes on over here or anything about political philosophy do you?

And for the record.... There's no such thing as a "sin tax"..... It's all frigging theft in my book

I spend $200-$300 a month on gas. That's a daily commute of about 20km round trip plus a lot of kicking around in a fairly spread out city.

[TK3]

$2.79 here today - I believe that's the lowest in the Nation. Was $2.70 two days ago. What's frustrating is that Crude oil went down $1.93 and gas went up 10cents!

During the golf season my wife and I spend $700 a month approxamitley from April to October that equates to 12,000 miles during this time. Then during the winter it gets cut to $300 we drive about 4000 miles from November to March. No need to go to club.

[11under]

$3.49 here in Eastern Washington.

[Brunleif]

How nice for all of you!
In Sweden we pay 2,2$ per litre that's about 8,3$ per gallon....

You're only saying that because you didn't see what the UK guys posted.

[Chief Illiniwek]

Anyone else get a bit excited when they see a post by Mat, only to see its half a decade old and have disappointment follow? Happens every time!

[Ti-Père BBQ]

1,41 per litres this morning in Sherbrooke, Canada which is too freakin expensive.

65$ for my Toyota Corolla.

[Kaysquare]

Finally, it's under $3.00............$2.97 today!!! Who ever thought we'd be ecstatic with gas prices just under $3.00??? I know, it's all relative.

[BENNYSUPREME]

I paid 2.86 yesterday.

[MaydayGSXR]

3.12 jumped to 3.27 for turkey day.. waiting to see what it goes back down to!

[mr_duffer]

$2.99 a gallon till just before Thanksgiving. $3.06 this morning.
