What are you Paying for Gasoline? Petrol Prices Around the World

[Coury Ferguson]

Found a Shell with pricing of $2.899 (Reg), $2.999 (mid) and $3.059 (Prem) in Alpharetta, GA and went thru SC last month and it was $2.589 (Reg), $2.689 (Mid) and $2.789 (Prem)

In Denmark the cost of gasoline is approx. 10.75 Dkr per litre. Have no idea what that comes to in gallons and dollars, but surely a LOT.

The initial question in this thread talked about not buying from EXXON and MOBIL. Well, I do not see any of these company names in Denmark, so maybe the whole country is boycotting them already :-?

Anyway, whether the price is high or low, we will choke the entire World to death in exhaust emissions or run out of the black stuff produced in the jurassic period... so problem will solve itself.

Does anyone know a good site for looking up past gas prices? Preferably by area, maybe city, and would like to go back more than a year or two, maybe into the 70's or older...

I want to use this as ammo when I get passed over for a raise again this year, I believe gas has doubled or so since 2004. :mg:

When I moved here to SC in Dec. 1999 gas was $1.14 gal. I used to drive home every weekend for 6 months. I keep a log of gas in my van. Last year at this time I was paying $1.97 gal. Will have to look and see if I kept anything from 2004.

Could be an interesting investment object, gasoline. Problem is that shelf life is not higher than 2 months or so...
Wonder if it was a petrol company that wrote about limited shelf life, though.

I did a little looking after this myself, Gasbuddy.com & GasPriceWatch.com were first in the Google search, GasBuddy seemed to work the best (GPW gave me question marks for the current price here in Cincy...)

http://zfacts.com/p/35.html have a nice chart back to the 70's averaged for the US.

There was another link that had someone's personal graph of gas prices in his area back to the 70's, very detailed. Uselessinfo.com or something, can't find it now.

Gas prices in US move past US$3 a US gallon, hit all-time high

From Yahoo:

CAMARILLO, Calif. - Nationwide gas prices hit an all-time high in the last two weeks, rising nearly 2 cents to just over $3 per gallon, according to a survey released Sunday.

The national average for self-serve regular stood at $3.0150 a gallon Friday, up 1.98 cents in the last two weeks, according to the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations across the country.

The price exceed the previous high of $3.0117 set in September last year, analyst Trilby Lundberg said.

A gallon of mid-grade gasoline averaged around $3.12, and premium at nearly $3.22.

Nationwide, the lowest price for regular was $2.77 a gallon in Charleston, S.C., while the highest — $3.28 a gallon — was in San Diego.

This is one area where I love being below average.

Gas Prices in Central Minnesota Monday morning - $2.93

After reading the article Mark posted, I feel like I am getting a bargain.

Paying $2.79 in Boise ID, at Costco. I really really hope this nudges the car makers toward smaller vehicles and eventually away from fossil fuels.
What I think is rediculous is that the Fed increases the lending rates even though we know inflation is being caused by fuel increases. I work one hour extra a week to pay for my added fuel costs which is then passing that cost onto my employer, which then is passed on to the consumer....
