We just had a 4 cent per liter increase to total $.80 /liter
Thats the same as $3.20 per gallon.
Our deisel fuel is selling only a couple of cents/ltr cheaper, and home heating oil is expected to be higher than ever before this winter.
Thank goodness my oil furnace was replaced last year with electric!!
How high is the gas where you live? Does anyone see any relief coming?
On this side of the pond, in mississippi, it’s averaging about $1.40. And there isn’t a home heated with oil down here to be found. I love Natural Gas. 
Holy shit! $3.20 a gallon! And I was pissed about paying $1.80/gallon here in the SF bay area! (For the cheap stuff ;))
Poor Kelli…
Ours went down 4C a litre on Friday, it’s now 67.9 cents a litre canadian or appx $1.64 a U.S. Gallon U.S. Kelli’s price works out to about $1.94 US an American Gallon.

Here in the north Chicago 'burbs, it’s about $1.55/gal but that’s without the state tax that they temporarily did away with until December. If we were still paying that tax, it’d be about $2.15. In the city of chicago, it’s about 10 to 15 cents more.
$1.25/gal for the cheap stuff here in Louisiana.
Count yourselves lucky . Here in Ireland it averages out about $4.75/gallon and just wait till somebody from the U.K. posts . They’re currently in the process of shutting the country down due to petrol prices .

It varies from $1.45 to $2.00 in New Jersey…I’m a poor college student, I can’t afford to drive too much.
This isnt gonna work.
You cant compare prices in different countries without converting to a common ‘dollar’.
How about this, what is the minimum wage in your area along with the gas price… that will give a better picture.
New Brunswick is 5.75 I beleive, with gas at .80/per liter, (OR 4 L to a gallon - $3.20/gallon)
yojimbo: how are the Irish coping with the price of gas? How do you heat your homes? Is oil used for heating?
You’re on, yojimbo. Here in Oxford petrol is currently at 83.5p a litre (or about $1.25 a liter). That makes it, oh, about $5.00/gallon. Actually, it’s not so bad here in Oxford. In London last month I saw a station selling at 90p a litre (or about $5.50/gallon). The UK apparently has the highest petrol prices in the world.
And about shutting down the country over gas prices–traffic here in central Oxford is running at about 50% of normal. My co-worker’s boyfriend rang the office to tell us not to even bother looking for petrol on the way home. His company has run out of red diesel (BAD!) We’re already speculating that at least one of us will not be able to make it to work by the end of the week, if the protest keeps up.
But it won’t be me. I cycle into work every day. Dammit.
Gas in Windsor, Ontario:
77.9 cents a litre, Canadian.
1 litre = .22 Gallons; 1 Gallon = 4.5 litres.
1 Canadian = .68 US.
1 Gallon of gas = $3.50 CA, or $2.37 US.
So I’m paying $2.37 US per gallon in Windsor; but, I frequently buy my gas in Detroit.
If I did that wrong, someone let me know.
Minimum wage in Ontario is $6.85 CA.
I feel really bad for you Europeans. 
What about heating though?
The eastern part of canada, and the US, commonly uses oil for heat - what are the poor families gonna do? The elderly?
Last year, the province had families in real trouble, this year will be even worse.
By the way, here is a handy little convertor for anyone who wants it.
Has both metric/standard conversions and a link above to currency conversions.
kelli - we moved out of the county into the city in March. Watching fuel prices skyrocket, I am so glad that we will no longer be in our oil-heated home this year - the new home has natural gas.

About $3.75 in laundry bills.

Here in the north of Scotland the price of petrol is in the region of £4 ($6ish)/gallon. Thank god we scrapped the car last month.
In July I visited Baltimore (my hometown) for the first time in 2+ years and the price of petrol had risen by nearly 60 cents since the last time I had been there. But did it ever feel GREAT to spend less than $20 to fill up the tank. Here it costs more like $50.
We were holding steady at $1.37/gal. for the last month here in Kansas but over the weekend we jumped up to $1.57/gal. I believe our minimum wage is either $5.15 or $5.50/hour.
kellibelli people are finding it hard. Our minimum wage is about $5/6US (this is being look at) . Car insurance is a nightmare aswell. I’m 29 and was quoted ~$2000 for a year for a 1litre car worth $4400.
I use natural gas central heating and from my bill it says that it cost 2cents per kWh with a supply cost of $25 +12.5% Value Added Tax
A friend of mine who has a ok job ~$27k says with petrol + insurance + road tax he is finding it very hard to keep his car on the road.
BTW we don’t have a great public transport system so a car is a required item for a lot of people.
How about converting to US dollars? It’d be more logical.
$1.35 for the cheap stuff, +$0.10 per grade up from that. This is East Texas.
I paid $1.34/Gal yesterday to fill up in Dallas. That’s about $1.98 Canadian.
I had to search the 'net for this, 1 U.S. gallon = 3.79 Litres so 67.9 cents/litre= 2.57 Canadian. 1 Canadian =67.7 cents american = $1.74 U.S. a gallon. Affter doing a whole bunch of number crunching I came up with a formula. You can get a rough equivalent of the American price of a litre of gas in Canada by multiplying the price by 2 1/2.So my 67.9 Cent a litre gas= 67.9x 2.5= roughly $1.70 U.S. a gallon. Kelli’s 80cent gas = $2.00 U.S. a gallon
Confusing, I hope not
