Nah, it's just that gas in the US is cheap. Canada doesn't come close to what they charge for gas in Europe. They played a package on CNN a few weeks back about how people in England are using Vegetable oil as a cheaper substitute to diesel. It works but it's hell on your engine.

here in sacramento, if you get the brand name stuff (shell, chevron, etc) it's about $2.00 a gallon for reg unleaded.
if you are lucky and get the no names, it ranges from $1.77-$1.83.

ummm i think you're wrong dude...
85.9 cents L/ x 4.546 (# of litres in a gallon) = $3.91 cents a gallon / $1.55 which is what most retailers (not banks) are offering on exchange = $2.52 american/gallon

I filled up this morning in College Statin at $1.55 for the cheap stuff.

I'm headin home to SA tonight, so i can give y'all a South Texas quote then

Coincidentally, how many of y'all out there buy the premium as opposed to cheap unleaded? I used to until i heard once that the premium is formulated for more performance-geared cars as opposed to my 91 Bronco(and now F-150). Is this true?

Kitso
KS 3.61 is a price that i'll never pay for a gallon of gas.

I just paid $1.64 a gallon for regular unleaded. I'm thankful right now that I have a small, fuel-efficient car.

Paid $2.17 for 91 octane in Los Angeles this morning. UGH.
Too close to Bev Hills, that gas station was!
And yes, my car manufacturer specifies must be 91 for my engine.

4.546L is the conversion for a British Gallon, an American liquid gallon is 3.72L, so i rounded to four.

In San Antonio

At IH-10 and UTSA Boulevard its $1.49. Thats the cheapest I have seen. At that price it takes me $36 to fill the truck up. I keep only putting $8 or $10 bucks in at a time int eh hopes that it will soon begin to fall. Damn this high oil prices (an I live itn a state that profits off of oil) Its finally worth it again to uncap some of those old oil wells out in west Texas and start producing again. West Texas Intermediate Crude has to reach about $28-$30 a barrel for most independents to make a buck producing. when gas is cheaper, it is usually around $20. a barrel. Although, I can rememebr in the early 80's when it was $42.00 a barrell, and EVERYOEN in the state was rolling, but conversely, it hurts the US economy as a whole. Damn Venezulans.

I got gas this morning right outside Chicago for $1.69. That's the cheap stuff at Citgo, but I wouldn't pay more for anything else. I think I could feed my Civic tin cans and she would still run for me.

Yeah, I just paid $1.89/gallon last night at Mobil for regular.

I heard that gas prices are suppose to go up everyday for the next couple of months!!! I'm seriously gonna get a ten-speed to ride around! My poor car is 10 years old, and is a major gas guzzler... Hope it gets comfy in the garage, cuz with gas going up so high, that's where it's gonna stay.

Will the price of gas is high, do you realize that we often pay more for a bottle/canof Coke than we do for a liter/gallon of gas?

Think about it!?!
