Gas prices: A running list by country, value, and unit of measure.

In My Humble Opinion
1

Guys, this thread got me thinking. Just for sake of science and a metric to go by, I’d like to ask y’all post what you just recently paid for gasoline/petrol.

If you would, please post the date you bought it, the region, the cost, and unit of measure (and if you would, convert it to something else if need be).

I’ll start:

30 Aug 05 / Great Falls, Montana / $2.51 per gallon ($2.51 US X 3.785 liters, or .679 USD per litre) - Total $45.18 USD for 18 gallons.

I’m just curious, and wanted to start a running update. Mods, if you think this is a poll, feel free to move it.

For volume factors (Money factor will obviously fluctuate, and that’s why I’m curious):
1 litre = .264 gallon
1 gallon = 3.785 litre

This may include a little math for some of ya. :cool:

All 87 octane, unless otherwise noted:

16 July 05 / Nashville, Illinois / US$2.309 per gallon
08 Aug 05 / Tilton, Illinois / US$2.299 per gallon**
10 Aug 05 / Nashville, Illinois / US$2.489 per gallon
28 Aug 05 / Lebanon, Illinois / US$2.499 per gallon
30 Aug 05 / Carbondale, Illinois / US$2.699 per gallon*
31 Aug 05 / Carbondale, Illinois / US$2.969 per gallon***

[sub]*Did not actually buy at that price, but I drive by on my way to work and saw it. The station offers a three-cent discount for cash purchases, which is the price you see. Credit/debit/check purchases are three cents higher.
**89 Octane: Casey’s stores in this area mix ethanol with 87 octane gas to make 89 octane. The 89 is often cheaper than the 87.[/sub]

Also, after checking all my mileages (I write the mileage down on the gas receipt), looks like for the last month I’ve been averaging nearly 26 miles per gallon (mostly highway).

From your mouth to the ears of …me. :slight_smile:

Melbourne (Blackburn), Australia - A$1.30/litre = US$0.98/litre = US$3.37/gallon

5

$US3.69/gallon in Melbourne (St Kilda), 26 August
$US4.10/gallon in Hiroshima, 31 August

6

You made a boo-boo - 3.785 * 0.98 = US$3.71

7

€1,28/liter = $US 5.98/gallon in Bonn, Germany, 30 August

South coast of the UK, 1st Sep 2005:
89 pence per litre. ~ $6.09 per US gallon.

9

Denmark (around the Copenhagen area);

A little over 10 DKK per litre = approx. $6.27 per US gallon.

10

Karlsruhe, Germany

1.35 euro per litre

> $6.50/gallon

The last time I filled up, which was Sunday, it was $2.65, which was a bit lower then normal around me in Montgomery county MD. This morning, Thursday, the low price was $2.99, the high I saw was $3.25.

12

New Hampshire, USA

Monday, 8/29/05 $2.55/gallon

Thursday, 9/1/05 ** $3.09/gallon**

(same station)

15

$1.26 per liter making it $4.76 per US gallon.

Convert to US$ and it’s around $4 per gallon.

16

Just touched 12kr/liter here, making it about US$6.70 per US gallon.

I’m afraid to ask what the prices are out in rural Norway.

17

1.48 Euros for a liter here in the Netherlands. That works out to: US$ 6.85 per gallon. Ouch!

18

Wow! I’m looking at these prices from Europe and echoing Mycroft Holmes: Ouch!

How do you guys afford those rates?

Tripler
Uffdah!

19

Are these prices with taxes included or not? I think most of the European prices are with all taxes included, while you still have to add some taxes to the American prices. So the actual difference is a bit smaller. But still . . . Ouch!

That’s the price if I drive to the far side of town - anywhere near me, it’s 93.9p. Or I can use the garage over the road, currently 98.9p (however they make most of their money through questionable MOT failures :wink: )
mkl12 has a point - should we all be posting the price that we actually pay?
