How much does gas/petrol cost where you live?

[SquirlKiller]

currently for me its $4.19 or $3.99 a (US) gallon for unleaded 87 octane gas depending which gas station I go to.

US

[BuZz]

~£1.40 a litre ($2.27 USD)

which is £6.36 a gallon ($10.33 USD)

if you are from the uk you will be



if you are from the US you might be



[edit] that's for your standard pump unleaded.

[professor_jonny]

$2,20 per litre here or there abouts in new zealand or there abouts depends on the grade of petrol ie 91 96 98 .


$2.359 synergy 8000 unleaded 98 (from mobil mix with methnol)

$2.179 L Unleaded 91 pre litre

$2.259 L Premium 96 per litre

$1.569 L Diesel per litre

[BuZz]

is that $2.20 NZD ? or $2.20 USD ?

[professor_jonny]

$2,20 nzd we have failly cheap petrol but yet still they complain.
i have updated my post with daily petrol price from shell.

[BuZz]

considerably cheaper than here as that would be £1.12 a litre. doesn't seem that long ago really when it was £0.80 a litre here.. well early / mid 2000s.

Maybe Clive (yeh ok. sir clive) was right and we should all be driving these

[BuZz]

c5 is much cooler than the new stuff. I mean who would want one of these

when you can drive around in a c5!

[professor_jonny]

I can remember when it was 80c a litre here for 96 and 45 c a litre for desil my how far we have come.

It is going to get to the point where only the rich will have petrol powered cars and there will be massive developments in lithium-iron and lithium-polimer battery technologies and then it will end up coing cheap as no one will want it.

the problem i see with battery is that you cant just fll up and go 12-15 hrs to charge up and a new set of batterys every 4 years and a limit of 100 or so km per charge.

in nz that would be killer it is 100km just to get to a grocery shop or the bank round trip.

I drive a diesel but petrol is usually around $1.35- $1.46 per litre .

[MrMajst3r]

In Poland:
Pb95 ~ 1,85$
Pb98 ~ 1,89$
Diesel ~ 1,82$

It seems cheap, but average payment is 500-800$ per month.

[xbs]

Portugal

Pb95 1,619 €
Pb98 1,689 €
Diesel 1,429 €

1€ = 1,297$ = 0,799£

To put these prices into perspective you must also know that minimum wage in Portugal is:

485,00 € / month

I remember when it was 60 pence a litre and everyone being 'outraged' when it hit £1.
Everyone still buys it though just the same as always, I do wonder though when it'll hit that point where ordinary people simply can't afford it.

For me the most interesting thing about this thread is how some of you have many types of fuel, here in the UK there's two pumps: Green - unleaded and Black - diesel. There used to be a Red - leaded(presumably synthetic) but they did anyway with that years ago. And a very few places have LPG.

What are all these other fuels?

The different petrols are low - high octane, low being 91 RON and high 98 RON, with 95 being a mid range octane fuel. When i was living in the UK in the early 90's fuel was 77p ltr and in Oz it was numerically the same at $77c ltr but the exchange rate was 2.5-1 so the 77p was equivalent to $192.5/ltr

There is 108 pump gas in nz at gull stations also

So we have mainstream 91 96 98 and 108 petrol in nz there is also avgas if you have a permit race licence and you can pick it up from the local aero club but it is $2,70 per litre and is leaded and not legal for road use.

we also have blends of methonol at some stations such as synergy at mobil stations.

lpg is at most stations for filling up bbq bottles as we produce our own natural gas at kupae from ageragrate and shell todd in taranaki 10 min drive from my house most of the gas gets converted to methonol and ends up in russia.

lpg is quite wide spread in use still here but a lot less common than it was.

$10 a gallon? i would sell my car if it went up to that price. is your vehicle fuel efficient? whats the MPG on yours? (or the UK equivalent, km/l?)

[GhostlyGamer]

4.89 a US Gallon. For 87.

In Israel it's 7.61 ILS ($1.96) a litre for petrol, at least those were the prices last night at my local gas station. In the recent months I've seen prices varying from $1.50 up to $2.20 a litre for petrol. But in November I'm getting myself an electric car here in Israel we have the world’s first integrated electric car network, that makes it more interesting to go electric.

Devon and back last week... £135 in fuel...

I have to sell my car.. it was only averaging 29MPG!

[Nextelhalo]

$3.89 per gallon of premium 91 octane, goes up and down by the week by about 20 cents. Texas
