I have the pleasure of living in Utah, where the local companies are gouging the public like mad. We have 5 local refineries and the price at the pump is still 2.86 the last time I filled up. This was after a week of intense pressure from the local government here. It is insane and preposterous what they are doing to us here.

I saw it for $1.98. But I hear that a few gas stations had it as low as $1.89

Time to trade the MINI for an SUV!

Paid around $2.69 a gallon last Sunday. Fill up came out to $28 and change.

Lowest I saw during the weekend was $2.49/Gal for Citgo 93 octane.

Bicycle, U-Bahn ? NEVER ! I drive my MINI with pride !
It hurts to go for gasoline, but therefore I enjoy every mile tripple than you

We only have Shell, Esso, Aral and some smaller ones... but all have 98+ octane

*edit: little calculating mistake fixed, it is 1,26€ *

$2.45 premium. (93)

$2.25 regular. (83)

I had to pay two extra dollars over regular for the full tank. Whooptie doo! I dont understand why people are affraid of premium. The difference isnt that big.

So it's 1.26 Euros per liter?
1 Euro = 1.27 dollars
So that comes to $6.05 per gallon.

Man, some of these prices, except the euro ones, are making me sick. I jsut paid $2.89/gal for some CA (crappy-a$$) 91 octane. And I was STOKED about paying that. For the last few months it seems like every fill u has been with $3.60/gal+ .

Hearing all of you get those lower prices makes me REALLY jealous :D
