What's Your Local GAS PRICE?

I'm curious what everyone else is paying at the pumps. Post your local prices in US$/gallon (just to make comparisons easier). (4litres to a US gallon).

I pay in southern Ontario Canada.
$1.10/L Canadian (87 octane) Do even go there for premium.
Conversion= 4.40*0.83= $3.65/G :eek:

I pay in Dubai, UAE
AED 4.75/Gallon 92 Octane
That comes up to around 1.3 US$/Gallon

A gallon? Cheap gas... (Compared to Canada, it's the equivalent of the price 2 years ago here)

I don't know what it's gonna be when you're gonna read, but here it is in CAD $/Liter (Under Octane 87):

I run a diesel - 99.9 pence (stirling) per litre last time I filled up. if ther are 4 liters (rather than the UK 4.5) in a US gallon, I guess that makes it US$7.14 per gallon

$.$$
2.75 marathon
2.81 citgo
2.85 bp
2.85 holiday
2.85 murphys
which evens out to roughly 75 1/2 -78 rubles
sorry, it was $2.65 like three days ago when I actually had money to fuel my car

either way I'd rather just take some acid and astral project to where I'm going, it's probably cheaper and better for my health than getting ulcers from paying outrageous fuel prices...

wow spike, I'd invest in a scooter

In Los Angeles it varies all over. However, in my area it ranges from about $3.11 to $3.17 for 87 octane regular (self serve).

Near Buffalo, NY. The two closest stations to my house are $3.03 and $3.09 per gallon. I live near a couple Indian reservations and their "tax free" prices are about $2.80ish. Essentially the keep it just low enough to pull people to their pumps yet they still make a killin considering the tax add on in NYS is something like $0.75 per gallon.

well that's some nonsense, can you actually use the reservations' pumps legally if you're not a member of the reservation?

hehe good point. Actually it is "officially" illegal for them not to collect taxes on sales of gas and cigs to non Native Americans. However each time the state attempts to enforce that the Indians riot and usually wind up closing the thruway (a portion of which runs through the res) by piling up and burning tires on said thruway. It seems to happen each time a new governor is elected and wishes to flex his muscles. Then they all back down. The Indians claim the treaty allows them to sell without taxes being collected and that they should not have to ask, judge or prove if someone is non-Indian.

The short version is that it is officially not allowed but the government has been unable to enforce it.

Euro 1.11 per liter, x 3.785 = Euro 4.20 / US gallon = US$ 5.26
Dublin, Ireland.
Above price for regular gas, Octane 85, the norm in Europe.
Diesel is 1 or 2 cents less per liter.

Glad I'm moving to the USA in August!

Currently paying $2.97+ (US) per gallon at most gas stations here in Seattle.

*Edit*

Sorry it's $2.97 for unleaded, which I don't use, I have to pay $3.56 per gallon for Premium at most gas stations.
