I filled up the vette earlier this week at $1.749/gallon at a BP. Highest I've ever paid for premium. It might be cheaper at the Flying J I usually go to. I don't buy regular since I have a diesel pickup truck. I paid $1.499/gallon for diesel at the same Flying J last week. Freakin outrageous!! :cuss I'm thinkin of buying a corn field and converting the vette to alcohol!! ;)

$3.17 per gallon ($0.84/litre) for regular 87 octane. 94 is closer to $1 per litre. :cry

Just ridiculous.

About 4.90 here in Helsinki, and certainly not becoming cheaper :(

Cheers,
Arto

PS. (1.22 euros / 1 liter => ~ 4.62 euros / 1 gallon => ~ 4.90 USD)

76.9 c/Litre (-3.5 c/litre off at Shell) here in Edmonton for 87 octane. I heard on the radio today that $1.60 US/Gal is approx 67.9 c/litre.

Just crazy, especially when we have so many refineries here making it. :mad

$6.00!!!!! Ok, just kidding...I think it's 1.69 for premium.

I only buy from Hess now. Did you know that Hess is one of like 6 Gas companies that don't import gas from the middle east. I'm not always, Buy American, but hey I can atleast do my part in buying Gas from American Oil Refinaries.

If it wasn't for Dubya, and the rest of the right-wingers gas would have been over $3-4gal 10 years ago, and we'd all be driving electric cars that have a top speed of 50mph. :p:

1.77 for 93 here in Big D.

I know its getting expen$ive guys, but its still less than a gallon of milk, antacid, cough syrup, and some of those top-of-the-line, yuppie, flavored water drinks. ;)
