Gasoline

I filled up this morning at the going price of $2.64 a gallon. Here in Roselle, Illinois.

Regular unleaded in Arkansas is about $2.64 today.

Amazing, there wasn't enough gas at $1.60 a gallon last summer and now there is more than enough at nearly $3.00.

I wonder why record costs don't increase at the same rate as record profits?

In Portugal we pay for 95 Octane Unleaded about 6 USD/Gallon.
For diesel we pay 4,6 USD/Gallon!

And it's rising up every week!

Here in Southern California I paid $2.79 / gallon for 87 octane unleaded.
:mg:

One funny thing. In Europe the “weakest” gasoline we have is 95 octanes.
We have also 98 and 100 octanes.
I think our cars wouldn’t move with such 87 octane gasoline...

Anyway actually there are countries in Europe, as Portugal, in which almost 70% of all vehicles move with diesel.
Other thing our cars have less consummation.
I have a diesel Ford that needs no more than 1,4 gallon to make 100 km.

Hi Antonio,
the fuel quality is actually similar. Just the calculation is different. Search for "Octane Rating" on Wikipedia and it explains the difference.

Here in CT the gallon normal is at ~2.80$ today.

Isn't it funny how people complaint about $1.70 a gallon when the thread started? And now we are happy to see less than $2.50 on the pump...



Cheers

That’s exactly the psychology the big oil/gas companies wanted to keep the big profits coming in.

On the upswing paying 278 for 87 in Southern Indiana. Say it is going to be above $3 before long. Consumption is up! Cut back, car pool, recycle all petro base products. I had seen a report that stated that crude is expected to remain above $60 until at least 2012. We can not get comfortable with these prices or they will just continue to climb.
