What are you paying for fuel? **NOT AN AMERICA HAS CHEAP FUEL THREAD**

[Joey D]

The Hummer is designed to go off road, not on road. GM didn't care about gas when they built these things. Hell the only reason the H1 is still around is because the military loves em.

 

[amp88]

I won't have the Blazer that long, and gas prices will NEVER be that high. Another source of fuel will be used instead. Trust me no body would pay 10 bucks a liter or 30 bucks a gallon for gas...ever!

Let's see if you can say that again in 10 years

You do realize gas prices jumped way up in a matter of like 3 months right? Hell at the beginning of the year I was paying like 1.50 or something, last week I was paying 3.50. Now it's going back down and should be around 2.00 at the end of the month. And why would I worry about the future? I'll cross the bridge when I come to it, but I only live once and I'm buying what makes me happy. I would take the Blazer over a Prius any day.

Yeah, before the start of 2005 the highest oil had been was something in the region of $45 per barrel. Not the highest it's been was something like $65 or 70. All in less than a year. Obviously war doesn't help things, but in the future as the supply goes down prices will rocket. You can call it bull if you want, but what other way can it go?

Nope doesn't fall to deaf ears, but I'm not wrong, I'm not ashamed of myself, I'm not selfish, and I'm not holier then anyone...hell I'm not even holy.

Cool

That's the point... They don't care about environment or resources. They thought the could get away with something that obviously wasn't practical and they are gonna pay dearly now because they rested so long on their SUV crap.

In 10 years cars will be hydrogen powered at the very least, either that or mostly hybrids that get upwards of over 80mpg.

Right but the oil supply will never get so low that it is virtually gone. People will just quit buying oil when it gets to expensive, that means they will switch fuel sourse. Switching isn't hard at all.

Thats ok as soon as GM releases the GMT 900 there truck...errr when the CAR DIVISION launches a truck...GM is going to lose the entire truck market.

They say in the UK that fuel could drop by as much as 4p a litre very soon... Now forgive me if I don't get excited because 92/93p a litre is till far too much. I started driving over a year ago and prices then were 78p a litre

 

[MrktMkr1986]

Prices are dropping in my area. Last time, I paid $3.50/gallon for 93 R+M/2 octane (98 RON) at a local Sunoco station.

Today, I paid $3.399/gallon for the same fuel.

 

[herrwazza]

hm...petrol here reached 105p/litre! every rushed out in panic buyin and the petrol stations made a mint!

 

[Joey D]

It was up to $3.19 here, but yesterday I got it for $2.69

 

[Crash]

Wow $2.69 seems cheap now, we're still stuck around $2.90 a gallon.

 

[ND4SPD]

Around 99 cents a litre here.

 

[Taurine]

Down to around the $1.48/L mark for 91.

Good 👍

Ever since the oil companies spiked the prices -- around $3.25 per gallon (for 87 "regular" octane) in my city -- pretending it was because of Katrina, the gas prices around here have been "playing games," as I like to call it. It almost seems like it's $2.79 one day, $3.09 the next, then $2.89, then $2.99, then $2.89...

I'm not complaining, though...americans have the priviledge of not having to pay $6+ per gallon....

 

[Slicks]

As much as I hate to use this phrase, It is the only thing that fits here. OMG!!!!! Fuel in my area actually went down today! $1.14.9 down to $1.13.9 . Not much but it's a start.

 

[Joey D]

Ya it's starting to come down in my area, in the 2.50's again which is better then the 3.15's

 

[importfan1]

I just paid $2.69 last friday. Thank god it's finally starting to come down.

 

[kikie]

€ 1.47 per litre for 95

 

[MrktMkr1986]

Last paid about $3.18/gallon for 93 R+M/2 octane fuel. Turbo seems to like it so I must give in.

 

[RVDNuT374]

$2.89/gal nearby and in town. SC used to have the cheapest gas in the nation. Now we have the most expensive gas because a major pipeline that we get all our gas from was damaged in Katrina/Rita. 👎

 

[T5-R]

95.9p per litre for super market crappy 95 octane unleaded a litre today, even worse here now then it was when they were threatening to have fuel strikes.

 

[iceburns288]

I wanted an M3... today I figured out if I drove a diesel instead of an M3, I could save about 1200 dollars a year on gas. Ouch.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> Hmm:

- On my 1992 [DB2] Integra GS-R {2001-2004} = USD$32.00 p/tank [on a USD$2.60/gal]
- 2004 Mazda 3 S 5-door {1/16/04-1/28/04} = USD$34.00 p/tank [USD$2.75/gal]
- 2003 Mazda Protege5 {1/28/2004-3/29/05} = USD$33.50 p/tank [USD$2.85/gal]
- 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon {3/29/05-current} = USD$45.00/tank [USD$3.00/gal]

(:

That's most likely a lie.

 

[Joey D]

There was a pipeline damaged but it really shouldn't affect the entire nation

 

[RVDNuT374]

I'm starting to think that the record gas prices are the oil company's and government's attempt to get all of us to switch over to hybrid cars. Because when enough of them get out on the market, gas prices will magically drop by a large amount........ Anyway, gas is holding steady as a crack addict at $2.89/gal. 👎

 

[Joey D]

I'm really starting to thinking about trading in the Blazer for something a bit more fuel effiecent. Now that my girlfriend goes to MSU (90miles from my house) and I'm working in Warren (30 miles) and going to school at OU (10miles). So needless to say I'm putting some serious miles on the truck, I need something that gets better then an average 17mpg.

 

[RVDNuT374]

In town: down to $2.79/gal
Closest station: down to $2.80/gal

👍

 

[a6m5]

I usually average 22-23 mpg in my 4 cylinder Altima. Gas prices are still around $2.69 here, I think. Still no sign of going down.

wow brotha I hear ya, I also drive 60 miles round trip to and from work each day, and $2.85 is a low price for gas around here. I probably average only 15mpg maybe a little more but 18mpg at best. I dont want to sell the van though I want a daily driver! Although if its the right car I would consider trading the van for it.....

 

[TwinTurboJay]

I drive my sentra 140 kms per day at least ( 140kms to work and back, then misc. running around ) average about 30 miles per gallon, seriously thinking of switching cars with my wife, she drives the '05 focus wagon, has a 5 km trip, and her car averages about 45 mpg...

paying btw .97 and 1.05 per litre...
