Gasoline prices

Ted Campanelli said:

Well, here in Connecticut we hit $3.19 a gallon for regular today.
ONLY, a "LITTLE" jump. Yesterday it was $2.79 a gallon. All
indications are that gasoline will pass the $4.00 mark this weekend.

Since "Our Illustrious Leader", George Bush, decided to release some of
the oil reserves yesterday, I wonder who is pocketing all the money ?
It sure isn't the gas station

Really easy solution: Walk, ride a bike or use public trans.
Americans make themselves dependant on oil and then [censored] when they
have to pay for it. Unbelievable.

That might be easy for you to say. I live 37 miles from my workplace, and
there is no public transportation between the two points. For me, the
first two options aren't possible. Don't suggest I move closer. I can't
afford that either.

That's us too, Wayne. We're in a rural area, no public transportation. My
hubby drives between an hour and a half to two hours each way to work every
day. These gas prices are going to be tough to combat, aren't they?

Of course that's true, but I've driven in a whole lot of traffic,

That's for sure, kili. It started getting tough for us when it climbed
over $2.00/gal. The only adjustable part of our budget is food, so I guess
we eat less! At present I am able to work from home 1 day a week. If the
price climbs much more (and no doubt it will), I'm thinking of asking if
adding another day at home is possible.

Us too - My husband drives an hour to work in traffic (it's only about a
35-40 minute drive without traffic) We can't move closer for many reason
(we are renting, can't break the lease and well the schools close to
base are HORRIBLE as are most of the neighborhoods) It was costing him
$30.00 a week to drive to work - now it will be costing us more :/

The closest grocery store is a 10 minute drive for us (and I don't see
myself putting my 5 year old and 3 year old on the back of a bike to get
there)

That kind of thinking almost kept us from buying a different vehicle 5
years ago, so we put a new engine in one and then bought another in 3
years. I'm glad we bought the newer gas mileage vehicle now.

That's fine if you can afford to buy an Insight or Prius. I can't. I
bought
a 2005 car that was supposed to get 30 mpg on freeway which is 95% of my
driving. I'm lucky to get 22 mpg. I had the dealer check it out a few
weeks
ago and was told that there was nothing wrong with it, nor did it require
any
adjustments. :-(

I bought my first car in 1959, it was a little bug Volvo which was supposed
(they said) to get comparable mileage to the VW; it NEVER got over 8 miles a
gallon for 6 years! Every dealer in 3 states checked it out. I still think
of the screwing I took on that car. Nope -- too poor to get rid of it.

I don't drive much these days. School is 6 1/2 miles away and most of the
shopping is very close by. I'm still shocked when I fill up every couple
of weeks. Gas as of last night was $2.48 which I'm told is the lowest it
has been in a week or two. It cost about $50 to fill the tank. I get
between 15 and 17 mpg. If I had a long commute, my gasoline bill would be
about $100 every week. Sheesh...

Wait a minute... 80¢/US gallon?? Don't think so. A US gallon is 3.79
litres. At 1.185 that makes a US gallon $4.491 Canadian or $3.79 US at the
present exchange rate.

Our gas prices are fluctuating wildly. Yesterday morning $1.19.9, then down
to 94.9. Today started at 1.25.9

As the gas station people say, there is really no reason because the gas has
been in the ground since last week.

My husband has to drive to work an hour each way. Thankfully, that ends on
the 15th. There is no decent
public transport in Southern Ontario.

In August the price of Gas in the UK was 1.64229 per litre.

Today?

The average price of unleaded petrol in the UK has risen above 90p a litre
for the first time.
Catalist, which monitors prices, says the average for unleaded is 90.2p a
litre, and just under 94p for diesel.

1 litre equals 0.2641721 gallon.

You work it out.
