What are you paying for gas / fuel now?

Sort by newest Sort by date
Coming back from trivia the BP and Shell were $3.75. Closer to me the one Shell station was $3.99 and 1.5 miles down the road the Shell and BP were $3.76. That's for regular (87). I don't even look at high test.
 
This is good I will be gone for a Month starting Sunday.
 
I'm paying 3.69 here in San Antonio. Considering the current demand on the economy, gas is severely overpriced. The chart below shows we are at a 3 year high (for the second time.)

Oops. I meant $4.28. What was I thinking? Big head, small brain.

Sorry bout that.
 
I'm sitting her in the little town of Garmisch in Germany's Southern Bavaria right now. Guess what the natives are paying over here. Diesel, which powers almost everything is 1.17 / liter and that's in Euros. High test is 1.77 and regular if I remember right is around 1.57 '/. Speaking of fuel efficient cars somewhere along the way the Master Race figured out how to count to 6 and sometime thereafter developed the skill set to actually shift one of these cars effectively. I wonder why it took so long to swim across the pond with that idea? They have had it for at least 15 years yet over our way it's very rare. Ours on the other hand are stuck mainly on (I'll be kind here} somewhat unreliable and only fairly economical automatics. Since the effort is about the same as the difference between a 4 and 5 speed I'll never understand why 6 speeds aren't used much in the US. I've driven around in enough of them to know that it has nothing at all to do with the unlimited speed on the Autobahns. You can lug them right down in the city (even more so the diesels) and they behave fine yet cruise at 60 - 65 MPH tacking around 1300 to 1500 RPM.

what is that in dollars and gallons? sounds cheap but...
 
Almost all of the cars produced by the big three are now six-speed automatics, driz. The Ford Focus SFE, gets an EPA 40 MPG with the six-speed automatic, and 38 with a 5-speed manual trans. The big-selling cars- Cruze, Malibu, Impala, most Chrysler products, and many Fords are now using six-speed transmissions for fuel savings.
 
P.S.- Love Garmisch- stayed there a few times back when they had three in-town hotels for AFRC. I've never been to that new place they built. Is it any good? I hear it's a ways outside of town.

Hotel Patton, as i recall, was pretty good.

1 gallon = 3.785 liters.

1.17EUR = 1.55 USD


So if I did my math right 3.785 liters X 1.55 USD = 5.86/gallon. Here at home $3.99/gallon is a deal.
