The price at the least expensive gas station in my area just went up tonight to $4.30 for regular unleaded! It's a good thing I fueled my gas hog Jeep earlier today when the price was still $4.25...
in Vancouver, Canada it costs $1.34 per litre. That's equal to about $3.54 per gallon. And that's just for basic low octane. It's $1.48 per litre ($3.91 per gallon) for the 91 octane.
Holy crap. Are you in Europe or something? I was in Germany this past September/October and that's just a hair less than what I was paying for fuel over there...
$1.22 / Lt this morning for regular, that's about $4.89 /Gal. That's why, when I lived in Vancouver, I went to the US to buy my fuel. Not only was it less expensive, I also got better mileage - 100 Km per tank more! Regardless of what car I had at the time!
Mine was 4.15 for the premium. I just got my MINI and forgot to ask what kind of gas I should give it... I've been doing the premium... is that what we are recommend to do? Gas is so expensive... glad I traded in my SUV!

Yes according to my dealer, both the S and non-S MINI's call for premium fuel. The difference in price on an entire tank is what, like $2 though? When I just shelled out $50, i figure $52 won't really **** me off much more, lol.
LOL this true... I'm still ok since I was looking at 100+ fill ups I still see a savings!

Agreed! It costs about $10-15 more to fill the tank on my 2010 Xterra, and I only get 1/2 as far as the MINI. Needless to say, the Xterra has been sitting around an awful lot lately. I need that thing for when we get 3 feet of snow though...
I filled up with Shell V-power last night for $4.25/ gallon. I also flashed my ECU back to stock to save a bit of fuel, only bringing it up to stage 1 on weekends.
