Your Gas Price

[Altamont Ravenard]

Gas was 1,399 Can$ / Liter today.

At 3,78 liters per gallon, and ~0,80 US$ to the Can$, it comes to...

~4,20 US$ per gallon.

AR, Montreal, Quebec

The going rate for regular is 3.29 a gallon in Memphis, and you have to go looking for stations that have regular gas.

No lines and no empty pumps here, at least yet. Exxon down the street from me today was $2.89 for regular. Paceway is still $2.99

the governor of GA got rid of the state tax on gas for the emergency and still the price didn't drop. still very few stations have gas on a regular basis. i filled up for $2.999 yesterday but it was the 6th station i drove by before i found one that had gas.

my wife came home at 9pm last night and said 2 of the stations now have gas. price $3.19

Hopefully, gas stations will be notified that they will have to lower the price of gas or be prosecuted. Removing the tax should automatically lower the price.

hmmm... 1.46 €/l and that makes something about 6.8 $/gal.

Just had about $0.7 rise per gal due to "market pressure" excuse...

This is why I don't believe in reducing the gas tax. Let the companies reduce their profits. It WON'T hurt them.

Commas are periods and vice versa, everywhere but here.

The UK is the same as the US in this regard (except that periods are called full stops).

Storminator pays 2% of his income on gasoline, Steve Jung 1.6%. How do you compare? Anybody here pay more than 5% of their income on gasoline? More than 10%?

Well around ten years ago, I had a job that was around 30 miles away (most of it on the freeway). My take home pay (after tax) was around £800 a month (then around $1200) and my petrol (gas) bill for my car was around £80 (then around $120) a month.

So that was pretty much 10%.

It's a lot, lot less now, because I: a) earn a lot more; and b) take the train to work and so use my car a lot less. But then again, I do have to pay £116.80 ($215) for my monthly zones 1 to 4 train ticket. So it's not all good.

Wah!! I will no longer complain about paying $2.65 here!!! Sheesh, just imagine if we all lived in the UK, and our wages would probably be lower too, plus the enormously higher taxes...

There is of course a whole other side to that argument, but if I were to explain it I would be several feet across the line marked "political" and in danger of upsetting Eric's grandma. Suffice to say, I'm reasonably happy with the different choices that my people and my country have made.
