What are you paying for Gas these days?

marsgirl73 · 02-04-2009, 08:51 PM

$2.01 for premium in Kansas City, KS. It's cheaper on the MO side of the city by about .10/gallon, but when Heinrich dings and tells me he needs gas, i go to the nearest station.

MOCKBA · 02-04-2009, 11:27 PM

$2.30 in sunny California

FOXYCaymanS · 02-04-2009, 11:28 PM

2.15 in Alpharetta GA...and I'm happy about it! Less than two months ago we didn't even have premium gas, the One had to have regular *sigh*

Ahhh... makes sense. But what do you call Gas?

MOCKBA · 02-05-2009, 02:59 AM

A friend of mine had a problem of paying for gas when first arrived in US. It was in Texas, so he just filled up gas and went to cashier telling I would like to pay for fuel. Just imagine surprise of the cashier.

We call it propane, and you can get the best from Strickland Propane in Texas. Call Hank Hill.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

We pump it out of the ground here in Canada and send it by pipeline to the US - it's called Natural Gas, and heats many homes in North America.

But everyone in Canada and US calls where you fill up a "Gas Station". It's just part of our slang. Gas = Gasoline, Jet Fuel = Kerosine. Truck Fuel = Diesel. Natural Gas = Natural Gas. Propane = Barbeque/camper.

Thx for correction!

damn.. why cant you guys use Liter and Kilometer!

Wow, much cheaper now!
It was about $9/gallon in Munich when I did my ED last Sept and I drove 3083 miles in Europe, $1000 for gas alone in 2 weeks.

bimmerfile · 02-05-2009, 01:22 PM

93 cents Cdn a liter for Shell 91 V-Power (zero ethanol) = $2.85 USD per U.S. gallon.

jeremyc74 · 02-05-2009, 02:03 PM

~$2.15/gal today, but it varies depending on the location of the station.

Where are you located in the Bay Area? I know of many 100 octane stations.

Dangerlucas · 02-05-2009, 06:24 PM

I'm in Cupertino and work in Palo Alto. I know of the one 76 on Woodside in Redwood City that carries 100, but that's about it.

MOCKBA · 02-05-2009, 06:30 PM

Great, will check the 76 tomorrow, I guess I need some fill.

G5Ti · 02-05-2009, 06:33 PM

Shell 93 in central Ohio:

12/30: $1.92
1/9: $2.09
1/25: $2.00
2/1: $1.94

So… roughly $2/gallon. Much nicer than the high of $4.30 (6/21/08 - Findlay, OH, Shell 93), but I don't expect this to last forever.
