Sigh, husband just filled up Little Wing at $4.11 a gallon :(.

 

I payed $4.20 yesterday in Cupertino.

 

Got lucky the other day. Gas prices were down and I filled up with premium at $3.33/gallon (had 10 cents off, originally $3.43). The very next day gas jumped up to what it is now, $3.79/gallon.

 

3.79 In Salt Lake City at Chevron.... I'm waiting to see how high it will go.....again.

 

Just filled up Austin today and I was testing to see how much mileage I could get shifting at 2K RPMs. Well....I was SHOCKED that I made it to the gas station with 401 miles on the tripometer. I normally don't go that low on gas but I was showing my dad the gas station that has Supreme without ethanol.

Gas cost: 4.00/gallon

Tripometer: 401

Gallons: 11.5ish (don't have receipt on me)

Manually calculated MPG..... 35!

Normally I drive sportier and I get 32.5-33 so not a huge jump but it shows me what I can get out of the car.

Now I put some gas additive in since it's that time....Italian Tuneup this week =)

 

$4.31 for 91 at Chevron in Watsonville.

 

3.81 for 91 in phoenix at the station i run...

 

Being from Canada it's a little different, but one thing I have noticed is that regardless of what car I'm driving, I get much better mileage using US gas than Canadian gas. It's at least 100 Km more per tank! (that's about 60 miles more)! Add to that the lower price for gas in the US and it makes for some wonderful numbers showing up on my spreadsheet. Even with a crappy exchange rate it lowered my operating costs by almost 20%.

I'm gonna hate this part of moving back to the States.....its $.23/L here.....and they say there is a shortage...HA!

 

Yikes! 23 cents! I remember filling up my Austin Cambrian from empty to full for $3.40 Canadian! Those were the days!

$4.23/gallon for 91 in Sacramento, CA.

 

£1.37 per litre over here - And rising! (Direct exchange makes that $2.24 per litre, or $8.48 per US Gallon)

Ouch

 

^Winnar!!!

 

I dont have a mini but gas is 3.89 for 91 at Shell in Kansas City, MO

 

3.59 for reg. & the 93 is is 3.79 to 3.99 depending!

Anyone try running a blend of the 105 octane flex fuel? Can't get it around here but it's a whole lot cheaper then reg!

I just paid $3.69 for premium today up here in the mountains of Colorado.

 

I was just reading the other day that the reason prices in Europe appear so high to us here in the states, is because their fuel is taxed to living h---. I believe it was something like 50% of the total price. If you removed the taxes, the raw product was about the same price as we pay here. I thought that was interesting, because the article was saying that we haven't been getting away with anything special in the states with the myth of "cheap gas", its just that we aren't taxed on it as heavily.

 

An average $3.75 prem. in the panhandle

 

$4.38 (Chevron 91) in the Bay Area. But Europe beats us hands down so I'll never complain.

 

Doing the conversion on my calculator, the price for the equivalent amount of gas here in Canada, works out to be about $4.50 or more. And that's for regular!

Yikes! $4.50 in Canada! I guess I won't be using my Jet Ski's that much when I bring them up this Summer. It's not that difficult to go through 5 gallons in an hr to 2 hr period. What's the price of diesel? I'll be pulling them up w/ my truck.

Thanks,
Dave

 

I don't know what premium goes for these days, but I noticed that regular is now $4.25/gal.

 

Fuel here in the UK is taxed at something like 70%.

 

Yeah thats crazy! The point of the article was that the US has never really had "cheap gas" compared to anyone else, what we've had is "cheap taxes on gas". Either way, I'm glad this MINI is getting 32mpg so far.

 

I paid $4.17 this morning at 76 in Temple City Ca
