How much is gas where you are?

[red42]

$2.80 USD regular unleaded (last time I checked)

[Gerardo]

$3.00 by me.

[dinarmad]

2.80 where I'm at OH

[RET]

$1.87 a week ago today. Now it's $2.92. :mad:

[DinarDummy]

$1.87 a week ago today. Now it's $2.92. :mad:
Wow, where were you that it was 1.87? France? Per litre? That's an awesome price, and a heck of an increase.

$2.62 3 days ago, now $2.79 - $2.85.

[Waiting in WI]

Cheapest in Orlando, where I was basking in the sun yesterday, was 2.85. Today in WI, where I have a sweatshirt on, cheapest is 2.99.

:(

[wherbie]

adverage around detroit is....$2.85 unleaded

[Wildbill]

I do not mind the price rise, especially while Iraq has just announced that they will open up thier oil. The higher the price of oil, the better the deals Iraq puts together, the higher the RV

[sebastian]

just came back from the gas station; $3.15 regular, self service:no:

[Ciderlion]

You guys are talking per us gallon right...
Try 95 pence per litre in the UK average where i am anyway, thats about £4.30 per gallon about $7.20 per gallon....and you reckon your gas is pricey:wave:

[stevie]

$2.99 just north of Tampa. We tried to fill up with reg. at one station and it had an automatic cut off at $50.00 which was a little over 1/2 tank. Everybody is filling up with regular so there probably will be stations that run out quick

[buck74]

West Central Wisconsin - regular unleaded $2.89.9 (why not say $2.90).

Buck

[CashMan]

Here in Anchorage Alaska we are currently paying 2.71 a gallon for reqular. :crying: Now I'm not sure how much they pay in the bush but I bet it's over 5 dollar. But if you look to what Europe is paying we are getting it cheap. I don't know why but I bet it's got to do with taxes.


Just like Ciderlion says.

[Triem1]

And you guys complain about gas prices......

$3.73 USD per U.S gallon, British Columbia. Has been over $3.00 since 9/11.



IMO, you are lucky to have the worlds lowest price gas when you produce only 3 percent of the worlds fuel, but consume 25% of it.

I hope I don't push anyones buttons with this post. It is not meant that way. I am just saying it could be a lot worse and you are quite lucky actually

$3.59 USD per US gal here in SW-ON

[RET]

I agree, we are lucky to have been paying lower prices than most of the rest of the world for so long.

I do have to say something in our defense regarding the 3%/25% issue. we would be producing more than enough to cover our own usage of oil if we didn't have the left/green/enviromentalist laws forbidding us to do so. we certainly have enough oil that we wouldn't have to rely on foreign oil if we were able to drill. what's china's usage at?

regular gas at the "cheap" station is $3.29.99/gal for regular. at least it was yesterday when i went to town. today?? the sky's the limit.
I was listening to the girl behind the counter at the gas station explaining why the prices are so high. apparently it is all Bush's fault. glad i went to town or i would never have known that. :rolleye03

[RET]

I believe part of the reason gas rises every year around this time is due to oil refineries shutting down to due yearly cleaning and maintainence before the summer driving season. Of course, the gas station attendant sounds like she has a pretty good arguement.:lmao:

[REITman]

$3.40 New York City / $3.15 Jersey

Depends on where in Jersey. $2.71 today.

[blondi]

SOUTH OF ST.LOUIS MO. $ 2.79 A GAL. AND THE TAX PER GAL IS .34 !!!!:no:

[Soliel]

I was listening to the Motor Man on the radio today. He seems like a very reasonable, trustworthy guy...he was saying how we are getting "taken advantage of" with the oil prices. He didn't elucidate on what he meant.

I think us Americans get more upset by higher gas prices because we are so darn dependent upon gas. So many of us live in far off suburbs, have to commute long distances... so it hits us harder.

[sogrman]

Gas prices in other parts of the world

Taiwan Taipei $2.84
Lebanon Beirut $2.63
South Africa Johannesburg $2.62
Nicaragua Managua $2.61
Panama Panama City $2.19
Russia Moscow $2.10
Puerto Rico San Juan $1.74
Saudi Arabia Riyadh $0.91
Kuwait Kuwait City $0.78
Egypt Cairo $0.65
Nigeria Lagos $0.38

Lots of places that havent built the majority of the worlds refineries have better prices than we do here in the states.

Here is a link to help folks find the cheapest gas in their area


http://autos.msn.com/everyday/GasStations.aspx?m=1&l=1&zip=29304&x=14&y=13

just type in your zip and presto. it wont keep prices down but at least you kind find it as cheap as possible

Gas prices go up every summer because that is when people take thier vacations due to school and weather and the gas companies learned a long time ago that we drive more in the summer no matter what they charge so every year it goes up in the summer.

America is a large and wide open country (especialy in the border region) as a result we drive alot more than most other populations.
Heck Texas is as larger than most european nations.

[sogrman]

We have more oil than the rest of the world combined on american soil.
Now if we can just drill it and refine it we could keep gas prices way down by selling to other nations china is learning to be quite the oil hog and is a market ripe for plucking.

The evils of off shore drilling have been extold by the left for years.
My problem with this is I lived at the beach and when they started tapping our off shore reserves it released pressure and we had FAR less oil washing up on the beaches. The left loves to show pictures of oil soaked birds, (typically from an oil tanker accident bringing the oil from abroad) to back up their claims that off shore drilling is evil. that is only touching on off shore reserves.
We have more oil on our soil than off shore.

We have come a long way technologically since we did any off shore drilling and we could do it cleaner and better than ever if we could just get the hyper fanatical citiots to shut up. Most of these people maybe visit nature once or twice a year and base their "knowledge" on what some other agendized pawn told them.

I Guess my experience contradicts what they are spewing as education to the masses and it gets my hackles up from time to time.

[sogrman]

I know, lets build a few, NEW MODERN, refineries on our own soil.
Makes sense to me.
Why do we have to fight our own progress at every turn?:confused:

US: No New Refineries in 29 Years

by Jad Mouawad, New York Times
May 9th, 2005


About 100 miles southwest of Phoenix, in a remote patch off Interstate 8, Glenn McGinnis is seeking to do something that has not been done for 29 years in the United States. He is trying to build an oil refinery.

Part of his job is to persuade local officials and residents to allow a 150,000-barrel-a-day refinery in their backyard - no small task. Another is to find investors ready to risk $2.5 billion in a volatile industry. So far, the effort has consumed six years and $30 million, with precious little to show for it....

[markmopar]

$2.87 here in southern NJ

[wherbie]

well folks.....

Try this on...I think oil is the new weapon of choice

for terrorists....and the Middle East countries are testing us for the $ 4.00 a gallon in the near future....maybe @ Christmas and 2007

Venesualia , the Congo , Iran all seem to have political " problems "
right now...since the world has turned off " aid " to Hamas...

This is why Iraq HAS to be in our corner for the next 50 years...

If we leave, and they are not....we will be at the mercy of Syria , Iran ....
Who would swoop down on Iraq....Like the North Vietnamese did on the South

You think Saddam was a bad man.....Iran and Syria would male him look like a boy scout...with their " ethnic cleansing"....you people in Iraq think about this....and start eliminating these " insurgents "


and " HELP A G.I. "...THEY ARE ONLY LOOSING OUR LIVES FOR YOUR COUNTRY

[Whats_UP]

I say I have to strongly disagree with this comment. I believe the problem lies with the conservative government that has not allocated any money to refining oil in 25+ years. The U.S. has not built a refinery since 1968. I feel the government has shot itself in the foot by doing this, and relies to heavily on outside of the country refining. I feel it is kind of funny that they put themselves in this situation being that a lot of conservative polititions come from oil rich backgrounds. JMO.

Right reason WRONG party.....;)

[TiredOfWork]

Is Bush not a conservative? Does he not come from an Texas oilmen background?
USA: November 12, 2002

WASHINGTON - Democratic lawmakers would block in the new Republican-controlled Senate the White House's plan to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle said.

While Republicans will control Congress following big wins in last week's elections, they are still short of the 60 votes needed in the 100-member Senate to cut off debate and vote on controversial bills like giving energy firms access to the refuge.
Democrats John Kerry of Massachusetts and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut - both possible presidential candidates in the 2004 election - have promised to filibuster legislation that would open the Arctic refuge to oil exploration.

President George W. Bush wants to tap the refuge's potential 16 billion barrels of oil to help reduce U.S. crude imports from overseas.


Also....

The defense spending bill passed the House early Monday with the oil-drilling provision intact. But 60 votes were required in the Senate to break a filibuster led by Democrats, and Republicans mustered only 56 votes.

Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who has sought to permit drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for a quarter-century, had threatened to keep the Senate in session through the holidays.

Also...

Bush wants to increase domestic oil and gas production to reduce the nation's dependence on imported petroleum. One of his most controversial proposals is to allow drilling in part of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, home to caribou and other species. The proposal has passed the House, but Senate Democrats say they have the votes to block it.

From 1999...

Last month, Vice President Al Gore's staff said he could not say a word about Chevron USA's plans to drill the first-ever producing gas wells off Florida's gulf coast. The law, they said, would not allow him to voice an opinion, even as a private citizen.

Gore broke his silence Thursday. In a campaign speech in Rye, N.H., Gore said he opposes allowing any new drilling off the Florida or California coast. If elected president next year, Gore said, he would block any new oil leases and any new wells off the shores of those two states.

"I will take the most sweeping steps in our history to protect our oceans and coastal waters from offshore oil drilling," Gore said. "I will do everything in my power to make sure that there is no new drilling off these sensitive coasts -- even in areas already leased for drilling by previous administrations."

Chevron has been trying since 1996 to get government permission to drill 21 wells that would tap into a formation of natural gas 20,000 feet beneath the ocean floor. There is enough gas there to supply all Florida's commercial and residential gas customers for nearly 30 years, company officials say.

There's a lot more info out there that's probably more relevant, but you get the idea.

There have been people trying to build new refineries and drill our own oil for decades and have been stopped by the (liberal/Progressive?) "movements" every time.

Sorry, But, there have been over 100 Ethanol Refineries built and are operating during that time!! We need about 2000 more to make us Energy Independant!!

[Stevo]

I've heard most of the ethanol refineries were produced by independant companies with not much political input. Is there any truth to this?
I believe ADM is the main owner of many Ethanol Plants in the US. Lot of them are Farmer Coop Owned. They are sprouting up all over the Corn Belt. This is our alternate fuel that will make us Energy Independant of all these 3rd World Blackmailers!!

I have paid anywhere from $ 2.89 to $3.11 the past week .

However right over the boader around Willimgton , Delaware prices are in the $ 2.70's , but as you travel towards the shore points the prices increase to $3.10:(

[glassparman]

The sad thing about all this is that it's all just about politics and money.

We have known how to get over 100 mpg since the 1920's. Many, many high mileage carburetors have been invented but the oil companies buy them up. And if they can't buy them up . . . they shoot them up. :shhh: (Tom Ogle) Or they just add more crap to the gas to bond the components together better so they won’t vaporize as easily . . . and call it "clean air additives". Ain't it funny how we use a Cat Convertor to do the job the engine should do . . . burn the fuel and stuff?

You can find most of the patents on the U.S. Patent website. Just think, we would have no smog problem right now if the oil companies weren't so greedy.

If we let the computer industry evolve at the same rate as the internal combustion engine technology, we would all still be running 386's with dos 6.

OH, sorry, I got carried away.

I used to make this stuff and it wasn't terribly cost effective ten years ago maybe it is more feasable now but I have my doubts.
IMHO we need to drill and refine right here on our own shores and sell to the rest of the world. Talk about a great way to reduce the national debt.
But alas it will never happen. That is not in the cards for the US.

Somewhere I still have the recipe to make your own ethanol and bio diesel. If things keep going the way the are I will probably look into doing this again but my current passion is working out a hydrogen generator:happy64: When I have the time and money:lmao:


http://healthandenergy.com/ethanol.htm

Ethanol Fuel from Corn Faulted as ‘Unsustainable Subsidized Food Burning’

David Pimental, a leading Cornell University agricultural expert, has calculated that powering the average U.S. automobile for one year on ethanol (blended with gasoline) derived from corn would require 11 acres of farmland, the same space needed to grow a year's supply of food for seven people. Adding up the energy costs of corn production and its conversion into ethanol, 131,000 BTUs are needed to make one gallon of ethanol. One gallon of ethanol has an energy value of only 77,000 BTUS. Thus, 70 percent more energy is required to produce ethanol than the energy that actually is in it. Every time you make one gallon of ethanol, there is a net energy loss of 54,000 BTUs.

Mr. Pimentel concluded that "abusing our precious croplands to grow corn for an energy-inefficient process that yields low-grade automobile fuels amounts to unsustainable subsidized food burning".

since we are on our way to see the new pirates movie, we will pay $2.955!!! :happy64: that's worth the 100+ miles.
