How much a gallon costs in USD in a certain European country.

Which is pointless and doesn't need to be brought up in this thread.
 
$4.69 a gallon in LA, where I live now... :banghead:... and here in NJ it's only $4.03... 🤬
 
Gas has stayed at 4.59ish for reg around here for a couple weeks. I managed to find $4.46 and promptly filled up fir $56.XX.

May I then suggest that this thread is being renamed to

What are you paying for fuel? **US only**

There seems to be no point in anything else.

No the point of the thread is to say what your are paying for fuel in your country. If you want to open up "Lets compare fuel from all over the world and hash out who has it cheaper" then do it in the opinion thread. I've made it clear that we aren't going to convert prices and do anything like that because the exchange rates are so different, European taxes are different, and the Europeans use a higher standard of fuel then the Americans do.
 
But almost no other than Americans post their fuel prices here. The only time others brings up their prices is when they compare theirs to yours, and, as you said, that's exactly what you don't want. So why not make it US only, if it already is 99% US only by now, and the rest is not welcome anyways?

Where have I said it's not welcome? No where. I don't care if you come in here and say:

FLK
Paid almost £70 for 54 litres of V-Power the other day at £1.24 per litre. Prices have been stable near me though for over 2 weeks even after the tanker strikes.

He said what he paid per unit it was sold in. He didn't compare it to the US. Please quit assuming this thread is only for Americans and only Americans are welcome. The point of this thread is to merely state how much you are paying to fill up, nothing more.
 
You misunderstood what I meant. I tried to say that there are only two things happening here:

1. US citizens posting their current fuel prices (about 99% of things going on here)
2. non-US-citizens comparing their prices to US prices (about 1% of things going on here)

Of course, other nations are welcome to discuss their local fuel prices in this thread, but obviously, it just doesn't happen. So why not mark it as US-only and get rid of that nasty percent?

That would be violating the AUP since I would be barring a group of members in participating in a thread, and this comes from a mod.

Maybe I'm blind, but I didn't find anything in the AUP that says it's forbidden to localize a thread to a certain group of people.

I've personally been told, err rather warned, by a mod that I can't do that. If another mod wants to make a decision on it I'll be happy to follow it and if they want to know the name of the said mod that warned me about it I will gladly PM them.
 
I'm Belgian as you already know, so this is what I pay for fuel.

I drive a gasoline, so I sometimes switch between 95/98 and my father has a diesel, so that is what I/he pays for diesel.

Current prices: juin 24, 2008.



Unleaded RON 95: 1.609 € per litre

Unleaded RON 98: 1.655 € per litre

Diesel: 1.444 € per litre

Well, if that is an issue, it probably should be included in the AUP.
 
World oil prices have gone down, and petrol is down to $157.9/litre at the local Mobil station today. It had been $164.9 for weeks. :)
 
Petrol should be dropping by about 4p a litre in our area soon, which is annoying because Tesco just stopped the 5p off a litre offer aswell :grumpy:
 
Turbo Lag
We just bought fuel, $1.65/l. :ouch:

:ouch: That's the price we were paying, it cost over $100 to fill up the Magna. We went for a drive to the bottom end the other day and diesel was $1.96/l there. :ouch: We only got $20 worth to get home. It's about $1.85 here.
 
Regular is below $4 now at $3.99 per gallon. Although some stations are (illegally I might add) charging one price for cash (which is advertised) and the other for credit (which isn't advertised). If you pay with credit you are looking at $4.09 and sometimes $4.19 for regular. I mean really $.20 more because I use a charge card to get fuel? I don't want to carry $50 on me so when I have to fill up I can use cash, and the ATM fees inside the station don't really make it worth it anyways. I opt not to go to those station because I think it's awful for the consumer. Shell doesn't do that and it's really the only station I go to anyways.
 
It's slowly been getting lower here. Was $3.97 a few weeks ago and now some stations are at $3.93.

I had no idea that is was actually illegal to charge extra for credit card usage. Is that just for petrol stations? Or for all stores in the US?

It's all stores, it violated the Credit Card Merchant Agreement. It is illegal and consumers shouldn't be dumb and fight back on this.

This sort of explains it

Merchants Cannot Charge A Surcharge For Using A Credit Card, However, They Can Offer A "Cash Discount"

You may have noticed that gas stations are starting to offer a different, higher price for credit cards. This isn't technically allowed— unless it is marketed as a "cash discount." In other words, if you fill up your car and find that you've been charged more than advertised because you paid with a credit card — that's not allowed. If, however, you decide to pay with cash because you saw an advertised "cash discount" to the "regular price" — that's ok. A subtle distinction, but an important one.

It is more or less false advertising as far as I can tell, you see one price on the sign but you guy up to the pump and it's more for using your card. You only get the sign price if you go inside and pay with cash. Sure $.20 is nothing really, just a couple more bucks to fill up, but I'm just pissed that you aren't being told. Hence why I go to Shell. I used to have a BP credit card that I filled up with, but now BP is doing that one price for cash, one price for credit thing. It makes no sense for me to use the BP charge card at the station if I have to pay more to use it.
 
I was quite surprised to pay a nice, low $4.43 per gallon to fill up the GTI today. That means gas has gone down $.25 in four days. This considering it's been $4.68 for premium for the last month or two...
 
i dont even bother looking at the price per gallon anymore. i reckon ive been paying a few cents less than philly.
