January 17, 200719 yr I pay little attention to gas prices, but I think it is around $2.00 or something.
January 17, 200719 yr 2.02 when I filled up today, makes driving the suburban a little more economical
January 17, 200719 yr .79....PSYCHE.....a litre!!! Ha, ha,......That's about $3.17 a U.S. gallon...and that's cheap for us! Was about .89 a litre a few weeks ago.
January 17, 200719 yr Author $1.98 here. Which is good, since I already blew all my money on tuition. I thought you would save up and buy some of that St. Cloud Gas bank crap sounds like a good time to buy.
January 17, 200719 yr I thought you would save up and buy some of that St. Cloud Gas bank crap sounds like a good time to buy. At least we hope so.. You never know-it could get cheaper...
January 18, 200719 yr 79.9 in Waterloo, 68.5 in Toronto?! Why does gas always have to be expensive wherever I go??
January 18, 200719 yr $1.99 but because of the storm a lot of stations have been running out of gas due to people powering generators and such. It took until Tuesday night to get my power back on, partly because my town's public works department ran out of diesel for the trucks and had to keep sending people to Arkansas to get fuel because pumps were dry here.
January 18, 200719 yr According to gasbuddy.com, the range here is $1.88 - 1.99. It seems as though when the college students go back to school the price goes down because there is less demand. Last semester the same thing happened; gas dropped about $.20 in the couple weeks following school starting.
January 19, 200719 yr Filled up for $2.79/gal premium today... so I'm guessing regular would be $2.59/gal.
January 19, 200719 yr Around $2.50 for regular give or take depending on the station...the lowest it has dropped since going over the $3 mark last year has been in the $2.30 range, now its back on the rise here in lower NY
January 19, 200719 yr Around $2.50 for regular give or take depending on the station...the lowest it has dropped since going over the $3 mark last year has been in the $2.30 range, now its back on the rise here in lower NY I still remember last summer... paying $3.79/gal for premium.
January 19, 200719 yr I still remember last summer... paying $3.79/gal for premium. It was insanity...and I was forced to put 87 in my Riviera b/c the price for 93 was just too high for me, and as a result I think it has resulted in some serious problems with the car...and now that I notice a lack of power and rough running I am going to be forced to use premium and yet I can't accept the price for it. BTW where are you in NY? if you are in fact in NY.

BTW where are you in NY? if you are in fact in NY. Suburbs of CA
January 19, 200719 yr You guys in America are really lucky! Over here it's around 1 Euro / $1.3 per liter of diesel and roughly 25% more for unleaded (95 RON which is the lowest octane grade available in Portugal).
January 20, 200719 yr Author I just saw 87 for 1.69, but that was in Ink-town... "In the Ghetto....." :AH-HA_wink:
January 20, 200719 yr "In the Ghetto....." :AH-HA_wink: Yep. Though it's getting better, you should see all the new houses going up....
January 20, 200719 yr Author Yep. Though it's getting better, you should see all the new houses going up.... well new house went up in Detroit but did anyone buy them? Theres enough house for sale now why do we need to build future vacant houses?
January 20, 200719 yr $2.23 is the cheapest around here. Made me mad it was only $1.89 in Mich last week. In fact, as soon as I crossed the Ohio state line, it dropped to $2.09 (on the turnpike even) PA sucks!
January 21, 200719 yr well new house went up in Detroit but did anyone buy them? Theres enough house for sale now why do we need to build future vacant houses? True, but at least it's not near the D..... Besides, if the city doesn't do something soon, either the cities of Dearborn heights or Garden City will try to burn it town... I swear the G.C. complains about it at their meetings...
March 3, 200719 yr Hold on to your panties, here comes 3 bucks a gallon again. The oil industry has said with the bad winter and all the snow, that heating oil supplies are now low and that is what is creating the high prices again for gasoline. I wonder what this will do for sales of of cars with big V8 engines?
March 3, 200719 yr $1.01 a litre in the hinterland. That's about $3.67 an American gallon. THe oil companies are blaming a fire from two weeks ago at an oil refinery in Ontario. Nice. Could be worse, though: in Brazil where I was recently they are paying about 2.30 a litre!
March 3, 200719 yr I saw $2.59 down on Woodward today. This sucks, I need to buy a T/A so I get better mpg. Edited March 3, 200719 yr by schuby87
March 4, 200719 yr I'm paying $3/gallon again. A downside of living on the west coast. Through a historical measurement of oil prices, there is absolutely no reason - on the relative scale of things - for gas prices to be this high. 10 years ago, gas prices would not be as greatly affected by supposed fears of Iran or something mentioned overseas by a retired & senile Fed official. Back then, such "fears" would result in a rise of 10 cents, from 1.20 to 1.30...and yes, we'd still be complaining. However, oil companies are making record-setting profits and not investing anything into new refineries...on the guise that future demand will not suffice such an expansion. Government is increasingly tied to such companies...where's their incentive? An extremely paranoid view would point out the lowering of oil prices 3 months before the election...and there subsequent rise thereafter...but I can't back this up. Either way, something needs to be done with the high cost of oil - since there is no real reason to justify it.
March 4, 200719 yr if oil comapanies want to be competitive, they have to keep building, i know my boss's son's company has been trying to expand, or just be more efficient with what they have and not been used for a long time, equipment and pipes
March 4, 200719 yr Anybody know how much of the petroleum we get here is sourced from OPEC as opposed to elsewhere?
March 5, 200719 yr Author the problem is tree hugging hippies shut down refinery's. And they control the price at the pump more than the oil drillers.
