    I pay $2.45/gallon regular unleaded where I live. Luckily, only $17.5 (perks of owning a Saturn) fills up my car and lasts me about a week and a half. I only use it to go to work and run errands. Compare this to my friends who pay $40 almost every 3 days because they drive more and have.

    I'm curious as to how much you guys are paying for gas (or your parents) where you live.

    It's $2.49/gallon out here. It costs about $40 to fill my tank full [when it's almost empty], but that will last me for quite some time, since I don't drive around much. BTW, I pay for my own gas.

    the litre prices in DK are about 7 to 9 kroner the litre, and that is high. But why pollute the earth with gasoline, when you can use eco friendly stuff instead.

    $3.00 a gallon and still cheapest in the world, next to bahrain.

    You have any idea what non us people pay?

    The prices right now aren't due to supply, it's due to profiteering and the stock markets.

    It costs me about $70 a week for gas, but then again I have a muscle car and that is two fillups.

    If you're in a SUV like most cookie cutter americans, it costs you about $75 to fill up your humongomobile.

    My father gets his gas for his truck from work for free, and since the ole van doesnt get driven too much, we dont end up spending too much. Dunno what its at right now though, 2.40 or so sounds right, cheaper then by Assembler thank god heh.

    It's roughly $2.50. I had to Google to find out -- that's how in touch I am with living here.

    I have a Honda Pilot. It costs me about $38 to fill up, and that lasts me about 2-3 weeks. I never drive unless I have to, which means I drive about 3 days a week, either to a poker game (5 miles away) or the grocery story (less than 2 miles away). Everything else is on the bicycle. I've had my car almost 11 months now, and only have like 2200 miles on it.
     

  8. ...Just under £5 a gallon here in the U.K, or roughly 90+pence per litre.

    :(

    :-(

    I'm paying $2.79 a gallon and have to fill up about once a week, but I get reimbursed 39 cents a mile if I'm driving for work related stuff.

    6.50 pesos a litre - that'd be about... two and a half dollars per gallon.

    Sad thing is Mexico actually produces oil. It should be cheaper. It's OUR oil, our gas, dammit!

    I almost never drive, though.

    I had to fill up on the motorway at the weekend and it was just over £0.97 per litre.


    Works out as $6.67 per U.S Gallon.

    1 U.S Gallon = 3.785 litres.
    1 gallon = 4.546 litres.

    £1.00 = $1.81

    £0.90 * 4.546 = £4.09 per gallon

    ($1.81*0.90) * 3.785 = $6.17 per U.S gallon

    $2.79 a gallon. Yeah it's cheaper than Europe. Problem is I don't live in Europe, I live here in California, and in California that's expensive.

    One thing I've been noticing lately is that every gas station I go to rips me off about a buck or so. I have a ten gallon tank, and fill up when there's about an 8th of a tank left. But at every gas station I go to the pump reads a few cents past 10 gallons when I fill completely. So I'm getting scammed about a buck or so. I know a lot of places to stuff like this, but damn. Talk about blatant.

    $2.79 here. The problem also has to do with there not being enough refineries in the US. None have be built since the seventies and the ones we have now are starting to blow up.

    it is not cheaper in DK than in USA, so for a gallon it is about 4 X 7 to 9 kroner and 100 kroner = 9.16 english pounds so it is not cheap for a gallon og gas in DK

    I don't remember exactly but it's around 1.20e/liter here, but probably more already. Fortunately, I drive my parents car for the time being.

    It's about $2.55 here, and steadily rising. I drive an old Camry, so a full tank lasts about two weeks, and it's about $45ish to fill up from nothing. I try not to complain too much, since it's Europe that's really getting fucked.
