price of gas

[Tappy]

since members of this forum are located all over the world i'd like to know what you are paying for your gas there , pls leave your country/state and price for gas /liter

Here in Belgium we pay 1.5€ (2.25$) for one liter gas !!

[Jazgeek]

we hit $1.21/litre here in Toronto Canada, but I hear it was $1.35 in Montreal (about 400km away)

so that would make it $4.58 a gallon

[mbouse]

the lowest i've seen this week was $3.62 / U.S. gallon. it fluctuates near daily.

Here on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, it is:

$1.27 per litre for 87 octane: $5.46 Canadian per Imperial Gallon, or $4.29 US per US Gallon
$1.32 per litre for 89 octane: $5.68 Canadian per Imperial Gallon, or $4.46 US per US Gallon
(Can't bear to look at the 91)

The old truck ('76 Chev Silverado with a 454 ) is only used to pick up big stuff, and I'm thinking of insuring the '86 Renault again (45 mpg on the highway).

I'm curious as to how much of the cost for gas is taxes, in Canada, Belgium, etc. In the US, or more specifically, California, the taxes are posted at the pump, so the info is readily available. I found the following link that explains the breakdown of the price for gas in California: http://www.energy.ca.gov/gasoline/margins/index.html

As of April 21, the numbers run as follows (US$ per US gallon):
Crude Oil 2.80
Refining and Marketing .39
Taxes and regulatory fees .67
Total 3.86

I'm guessing that a larger portion of the price goes to government taxes in Canada, Belgium, etc. than in USA.

About US$1.45 per litre for the regular 91 octane stuff Down Under.
I also just bought a 20 Litre drum of 105 octane unleaded racing fuel and it set me back US$104.00. Thats US$5.20 per litre. Good thing I'm not racing a V8.

Hey,

I'm running a V8 for everyday use in the Sydney traffic crawl ! ! (16l/100)

The premium fuel hit a $A1.60 a litre in Sydney - a Tank costs (65l) $A104.00 - $US97.70

Here's a breakdown of the cost factors for petrol Down Under. The Government is actually double-dipping by charging a 10% Goods & Services tax on the combined costs which already includes an Excise Tax. A tax on a tax no less

Refined Petrol
47%
Excise Tax
39%
Retail/Wholesale margins and Freight
4%
Goods & Services Tax
10%

a small bottle of water---29cts by the case at a bulk store, $1-$2 retail
a pint of beer-------------$3-$4 domestic, $5 imported
cup of coffee at Starbucks-$2 unless you start adding stuff, then up to $5 or so

almost makes the ridiculously priced gas seem reasonable

I'm with you! everything these days has skyrocketed...

I've been seeing electric car companies sprout up everywhere no, though... tbere is at least three in San Diego at least

[mdrburchette]

87 octane is $3.50 in my area with diesel being $4.20. I've been trying to conserve by driving slower and taking less trips but I had to use the Suburban with the 454 to haul some stuff and half a tank cost $70. Of course, that's still better than pulling the F350 diesel out of hibernation.

[So Cal Mark]

I'm with you on the Suburban, I had to use mine to tow a car last weekend. $60 for 15 gals

[Gunsmith]

Here in Palm Beach County we are thankful if you find 87 octaine under $3.70 a gal. It cost $750.00 to top off the tank in the boat to take my Dad and his friends fishing Monday. My Suburban I use to tow the boat to the water seamed remarkably fuel effcient after that. However I seam to be driving my Fiat a lot more now.

Now if you could weld a prop to the back axle and seal up the doors on the Spider, you could drive and fish in the same vehicle.
