In malaysia, it was just increased to USD0.38/litre (RM1.42) this morning.
Cost of living is increasing, petrol's price will spark inflation! :cry:

Same as iwiws.

I don't really care though they should crank it up to a dollar, so the old cars can't afford to stay on the road. They stink like ***.

I paid $1.96 a gallon yesterday in Wisconsin. Wisconsin seems to have some kind of fair-trading law; you never see a station undercutting the others.

~$1.90 in Southeastern PA (though it drops off fast as you leave the city).

Pretty much the same as it is here in South Carolina. Man, I remember when gas used to be $0.69 a gallon.

Surely if I say to you it's 1 Euro/litre here, it has no meaning for you.

We should reach a settlement and post the figures in an international system units: the litre in the name of Europe, and the $$ in the name of USA.

So that, here it is 0.83 $$US / litre. But we take home a lot of less money than you every month, and prices are higher (this is the Hell).

I pay $2.21 per gallon, which is a heck of a lot more. Of course its also fair to point out that average incomes are much higher here than in malaysia, but in a state where noone lives where they work and everyone commutes 30-60 minutes, gas is expensive.

I have to agree that a well maintained classic is a beautiful thing. Note I said "well maintained". Driving around a rusted out S***box because you're 16 and it's all you can afford to keep it running isn't what I mean.

And I shudder that you're calling an 85 camaro a classic like it's an ancient car- my first was an 83 lynx *shakes his cane at you*

Connecticut is hovering at $2/gal. IT depends on what town you are in. We can drive over to Rhode Island and save about 10 cents per, but that's out of the way.

I wasn't referring to that.

If I were in a car forum, I would have been more specific, but since I'm not I had to go with the general thought of an old car, which is rusted piece of junk.

well thx for clarifying, and Zantra i dont consider my car a classic, although by rights it is, its 20 years old, and any car over 20 is a classic, my car is well maintained, rebuilt, the engine is rebuilt, it purs like a kitten, its my pride and joy, mainly because i shed so much blood, sweat and tears in that car

the prices in the US are unbelievably low.. only $2 in california?

here in the Netherlands we pay $6.05/gallon (€1,29/liter) for the cheapest petrol, $6.25 for the higher grade and $6.39 for the good quality petrol.. anyone, try to beat those prices :devil:

Ofcourse, at the same time we should be asking how many miles a gallon of petrol is going to last.. I just asked my friend who drives an Audi TT (yes :approve:) and he says he can drive 23.6 miles on a gallon (11 km on a liter).

Actually, I've seen him average 8,3 liters/100 km.. which would be 12km/liter = 28,4 miles/gallon.. and that for a sportscar :tongue: isn't it a pretty car? (http://www.audi.fm.interia.pl/audi/tt/l11.jpg) it reminds me of a black panther :approve:

It's about $1.90 in Central Ohio (regular).

I have a dirty, old 92' Honda Accord, that gives me over 30 miles/gall. consistently. I'm happy. :smile:

I found one station with $1.78/gallon today (southwest Ohio), but the rest were around 1.85/gallon. My car gives me about 25 miles/gallon with city/local driving. I think I do better on highways, but have never hit an open stretch of road long enough to not have to keep slowing and accelerating around other cars long enough to really get a measure of mileage on highways. Except it also has a small gas tank, so still needs to be filled up just as frequently as those monster SUVs (except my tank of gas only costs me $12 to $15 depending how close to empty it is and how high the prices are, instead of $50 to fill those SUVs :smile:).

Yes European gas prices are higher. But i had a 53 mile commute to work each way. Thats 106 miles every day. Had to refill my car every 3 days, $30 each time (15 gal tank, gas hovered aroun $2.02 before i moved, its gone ups ince then). Thats $10 per day, so i spent about $1000 US on gas this past summer alone. Thats the price of not living in the slum you work in: commuter lifestyle indeed.

On my trip, my 2000 Honda Odyssey got over 23 mpg. It depends on the driving; in town I get around 19.

My friend commutes 50 miles each day, that would come to about $12 a day :) you'd pay the same amount of money if you were to go by train.
