MAth time!

1 Liquid liter = 3.784512 Liquid Gallons

3.784512 x 1.075 = $4.06 CAD for 87 octane at (guessing) 9:00am
3.784512 x 0.932 = $3.53 CAD for 87 octane at 5:30pm

(had to make it english cuz us americas are ignorante to the fact that the rest of the world uses metric)

Currency Exchange:

$4.06 CAD = $3.56 USD
$3.53 CAD = $3.09 USD

Some numbers from Europe:


1 liter of 95 octane Super Plus costs 1.07€... someone may say "wow it's cheap"... but not be over hasty for conclusions, here is recomputation to US gallons and USD:

1 european liter is 0.264 US gallon -> 1US gallon is 3.79 liters, so for one US gallon of fuel I pay 4.04€ here...
That's 4.85USD for 1US gallon of 95 octane Super Plus!!! (I belive "Super Plus" means "unleaded gas" biggrin.gif)

So smile and be happy you are not pay European prices wink.gif

87 reg is 2.87-2.93 (arco vs mobil)
89 plus is 2.93-3.02 (arco vs mobil)
91 prem is 3.02-3.20 (arco vs mobil)
arco prem is as crappy as mobils reg so better off with a major brand of gas. (Chevron, Shell, Mobil)
why are you guys with just GT's buynig 93?

Hurrah. Someone is aware there is a place called "Not America".

Last time I filled the car up, it was over £50. That's what, $80? Something like that. I did 218 miles on that fuel. That's what, 37 cents a mile. Every mile. In fuel alone.....

Seriously, if you live in the US, you wouldn't know expensive fuel if a tanker load of it ran you over.

JDM ST205Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying.
Well I'm paying about $AUS1.45 for Premium Unleaded (98 Octane) currently.
Its the only one I use, normal unleaded (92 octane I think) is about 10c cheaper.

It's about (crude guess) 5.69USD for 1US gallon... real disaster...

p.s.: I don't know how much is that for people in Britain (or anywhere), but average after-payment-tax incomes is 500-600 per month in my place... that's not much money to spend more kindasad.gif

I realize you guys over in the UK pay a lot for gas (pretty much everywhere but the states), but I have something to tell you. WE IN THE STATES ARE NOT USED TO PAYING THIS MUCH!!! Stop griping to us about our complaining when we're used to a certain quality of life, and when gas prices take a 50% hike in a matter of a month, that changes what we're used to. You guys overseas are used to paying the high prices, and those high prices are largely in reason to the amount of taxes on them. That said,

The oil companies are feeling us out to see what we're willing to pay. There's absolutely no valid reason for how our gas prices have been raising recently. I've seen plenty of excuses thrown out, but no real reasons. I personally believe we need federal regulation of the petroleum industry here in the states to keep this incessant price gouging going. It's already being looked at in the natural gas sector, so hopefully it's only a matter of time before it hits the oil compaines too. Just give it a few more weeks until the oil companies start posting their rather large profits again and the government will start turning an eye towards them and they'll back off like what happened last fall.

Fastbird I didn't mean to be against anybody here at all (That was just for your info, if you don't want "global information" let us know wink.gif biggrin.gif ). There are just one fact I don't understand. If fall production of coal-oil (because of some hurricane or something like this.), price of gas grow in Europe instantly for 1/4 of dollar per gallon. So if in the US some havoc happened , I know my gas will be more expensive here in EU... And last year was really something...

ok lets all go back to ECONOMICS 101...

gas just like anyother world commodity has a DEMAND and a SUPPLY

now with prices on the "Y" axis and quantity on the "X" axis (just like every other supply and demand graph)
IPB Image
the BLACK lines are your base graph D=demand S= Supply
now when we demand more gas the Demand curve shifts UP (meaning we want more gas aka using more)
so this new increase in demand is our redline...
NOTICE
demand goes up SUPPLY gets less...
why? because your using more DUH!

what happens when you demand more and use it up
the PRICE goes up! as you can see in the new position on the red line

so stop your stupid ignorant bitching about the government and greedy gas station owners....
if you want prices to go down... STOP USING GAS
thus the DEMAND goes down SUPPLY increases and PRICES FALL

Trust me when I say that boggles my mind also. You could sum it up to how many world markets are based off of the U.S. market, but that still shouldn't hold down to gas prices. Last year was probably a case of the oil companies doing their part to line their pockets. They were SCREAMING about a shortage if you remember due to lost rigs, low production, ect, because of the hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico. And it's true, a refinery got schwacked, many rigs in the gulf were lost, BUT! When Exxon-Mobil posts 9 BILLION 3rd quarter profits, something ain't right. That pinch was felt world wide.

Thats also happening here. You dont here me complaining! About the prices.

JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
One thing is really interesting (for me). Information of octane number.

EU use 95,98 and 100 octane gas, but I see US has 87,89 and 91 octane gas... For same engines! Or I missed something?

No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________
here in the Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada region the prices this morning were as follows (math was done quickly and figures were rounded up to the nearest penny)





octane 87 = 1.17$CDN/l...4.50$CDN/USgal...5.10$US/gal

octane 89 = 1.21$CDN/l...4.65$CDN/USgal...5.29$US/gal

octane 92 = 1.25$CDN/l...4.81$CDN/USgal...5.46$US/gal



figure for a tank running on empty taking 55l and running octane 92 = 68.75$CDN per fillup every 5 days depending on driving style ans weather conditions.

Let's go back to class then. Demand doesn't go up 50% in a single month.
This was just suppose to be a compairing local prices thing, not an arguement over who pays more, and who shouldnt complain. You are all trying to get this thread closed.

My bad. Back on topic.

Here in NJ what I'm seeing is ~2.70ish for regular and ~2.90ish for supreme. Local Wawa has 2.73-2.83-2.93 breakdown this morning as I went by.
