How much is a Gallon or gas where you are. or a Litre of petrol, I guess depending where you are.

For conversion purposes 1 US Gallon = 3.7853 Litres.

If you're wondering why Super unleaded is less than reg. it's coz there's ethanol in the super and ethanol is now officially less expensive to produce than Petrol.

Up here in Kanata, our prices keep going up. 2 days ago it was 1.00 dollars a litre, then over night it went up to 1.21 dollars a litre. Our family is starting to have a rough time affording it for the long distances my parents travel on a daily basis.

Local radio stations are promoting the boycotting of gas stations to try to f**k them enough that they drop prices, but bottom line you have to get where you have to get and so you have to pay the price...

Interesting topic.

We got one liter diesel at about 1 ? = 1.25 $*

One liter unleaded (Octane 95) 1.30 ? = 1.63 $*


*US Dollars


And thats taken from a cheap gas station.

"regular gas" has been unleaded since the 70's and maybe the 60's. It's ALL unleaded. What makes it "super" or "Premium" or "leet" is the amount Octane in it.

And yes, the Ozarks is a cheap place for gas compared to most other places.

There's some places around here that have reached $5.96/ Gallon of Regular ... why? Well, Oregon was already getting reamed by gas prices. I think, overall the price is about $3.50, average. Keep in mind, three weeks ago it was about $2.20 at the cheap stations. Before Bush's presidency: $1.20 ...

I believe the state's actually doing something to bring harsh fines to the gas stations that're price gouging.

I'll find out the actual prices around my area next week ... when I get my car back .. god-damned fuel pump ... f**king ford, putting it in the gas-tank ... fuel injectors pos ...

It's almost exactly 1 USD per litre of unleaded petrol over here. The high octane petrol costs about 1.1 USD or so.

I ride a bike High gas prices are better for the environent, so I'm f**king cheering. After I get myself moved to Seattle it can go up to $10/gallon for all I care!

Oh, and here's my picky science side again. The "octane" rating on gas has nothing to do with the ammount of octane in the fuel. Gasoline is a mishmash of hydrocarbons between C6 and C14 or so. What the rateing indicates is the degree of branching in the hydrocarbons it contains. The greater the degree of branching the slower it burns. Slower burning fuel is better for your engine because it prevents cylender knocking, and I think the combustion ends up being more complete... I have no idea how they come up with the number though (87, 89, 92).

Boooooooring.
Bikes own and cars suck. If the gas price would be higher, perhaps this world would be a better place.

Crono, you are on a bit of an anti-bush posting spree, eh? The president doesn't have the power to effect gas prices even if he wanted to.

Bush's presidency has nothing to do with the high gas prices. They are due to China's unprecedented (10%+ annual) growth rate, as well as a mild decrease in supply, and speculation on the futures market.

Right, the president has nothing to do with economics. His term's choices have made a direct impact on economical values, especially on oil and the USD. Don't be as dense to think that he actually has no power to do anything about it. He absolutely does. Oh yeah, I'm sure his little tromp through north Africa and South West Asia has nothing to do with oil prices.

But, I can't believe that you'd think that the president, who's job is to protect America , MAKE AMERICA MONEY, and create good relations with other nations isn't responsible for 1/3 of their job. Because, the whole making America money thing, is a big part of being president. It's pathetic that so many of them are so bad at it. (Obviously there are other things too, but these are the main functions)

Pile on top his disregard for natural resources and natural economy and you've got one awful president.

Anyway, enough. It was just a comment.

I think I saw on a news report that gasoline was up to 6.00$ a gallon on the east coast. As soon as I heard that I hopped into my can and ran down to the nearest gas station and filled up on the 2.99$ per gallon. I think a lot of people were watching the report as well, because there was a long line to fill up =P.

Ok, the president's policy can have some effect on oil prices, I'll give you that, but the effect is really negligible compared to other economic forces. You take away Bush and put in Gore, and maybe crude oil would be selling at $65/barrel instead of $70. You take away China's growth, and then you'd have crude selling at barely more than what it was back in 2000 ($25-30).

That's really a philosophical point about the function of government. IMO, the function of a democratic government is to represent the interests of its citizens - to hell with whatever the rest of the world thinks.
