gas prices

can some one help me on this.. in the states do they do the gas by gallons right? so the avg. price is what.. 2.10? so lets say u have a 20gallon tank.. then u would pay 42 dollars right? (20x2.10=42)

just curious..

yes all correct. california, where i live is especially expensive - 2.39 for plus 2.49 for premium.

i'm just curious becuase the prices of gas are all the news on CNN and other such US news stations. yet, it seems, that the prices are still much cheaper than what we pay up here in canada. i'm truely not trying to start anything but it does not seem right that every station is complaining about it even though compared to canada its a dream. am i missing something or is this how the world works?

Bad News just watched the News gas prices could be going up again.

how much do you pay up there in canada? you might pay more if you get your gas from us. do you have your own refinerys up there or do you but our stuff? i just payed $2.39 for mid grade,(89 octane), and it was like 18 and some odd gallons. you can figure it out if you want cuz it was $43.75 i think. it shoudl come out to like 18.6 or something if i remember corectly. im lazy and dont feel like doing math right now. now a week ago i also payed $2.39 per gallon, but that was for premium,(91 octane), the price went up $0.10 in one week. oh yeah i forgot to mention, i live in cali also. i just saw on the news today that somewhere around here it is over 3 dollars. see there is another crappy things also, i totaly know how you feel. if you go to another state other than califonia the gas is cheeper than it is here. the national average is something like $2.22. that was as of yesterday. now for it to be that low compared to cali, the price must be hella low in the rest of the US. so i totaly know how you feel.

Damn, and I thought I was paying a lot at like 2.10. Lets face it guys, it happend last year too and the year before that. Give it a month or two into summer and they'll be back down again, reasonably.

Washington is (regular) $2.17 except cosco is $2.09 and I thought ours was high

Here in NC I payed $1.69 and then $1.73 last week, filled up twice this week and payed $1.79 and then $1.89. all for regualy 87 octance, lotta miles and a heavy foot, im gonna go broke.

I don't know about that. I paid $2.05 today. Thay say it's going to go up to almost $3.00 before summer ends. That's in Indiana. Imagine in Cali, New York, New Jersey, ect.

Suck it up princess. I pay $1.08 per liter for Esso 92 octane. Since 1 gallon is 3.7854118 litres, that's about $4.12 Canadian per gallon, or right around 3 bucks US per gallon.

does anyone know if they run MTBE or ethinal up there in canada?

wait sorry. incase you dont know, is in pump gas. we used to used MTBE here in the states but it is a healf hazard or something i dont remember so we are switching over to a ethinal blend. i dont mean like race gas or anything. just clarifying

i hear ya man i hear ya. what part of canada are you in? here in NB its just about nearing 1.00 for 92..

68chevelle, i couldn't tell you to be honest with you.

Give it a month or two into summer and they'll be back down again, reasonably. Yeah, the prices did go up last year too, then came right back down not too long after. But they never broke the $2 a gallon mark here. Now the prices here are $1.89 for 87 octane, $1.99 for 89 octane, and $2.09 for 93 octane. I think this time last year I was paying 1.66 for 89. I can remember right after high school in 98, I was paying $.98 for 87 octane.

I remember the good old days of paying $1.04 a gallon for 94 lol. I don't know about anyone else but round here gas prices have raised about 20cents a gallon in the last 2 weeks. This sucks ass right as the weather gets nice!

Prices went up again today.
$1.99
$2.11
$2.17

Its their marketing strategy. Jack up the price when you know everyone is going to be out cruising and you make a killing. My V8+heavyfoot=a lot of money in gas. Oh well all we can do is shut-up and take it this sucks. I should get 2 jobs just to pay for the gas to get to one job.lol

You know in Canada your dollar isn't equal to the U.S. dollar in value right?

lol bringing an old topic back to life. NOW LOOK AT THE PRICES OF GAS.

Also, do you need to use premium gas on a 98 mustang gt (8cyl) manual?

This page:

says the automatic can use regular but the manual needs premium! What is with that? Is that right?

Thanks

I wouldn't put anything but premium in a performance car but thats me. Around here

3.09 regular
3.19 midgrade
3.29 premium

I spent $9.00 filling up the gas can to cut the grass.

I am hoping that regular will work. Anyone have a manual for the car? what does it say?

Thanks

i live in ny, and gas keeps going up every week.
regular 3.49
midgrade 3.69
premium 3.79

yeah... and expect the prices to rise even more this next month, i think like 6 oil refineries in new orleans are broken down because of the hurricane... so i dont really know where gas is gonna come from. europe??! thats gonna be expensive as hell.
