Really Expensive Gas Prices

Nowday, in Italy price per litre is around 1,3 Euros (!!).

In Spain, a week ago, was around 1.20 Euros per litre.

According to Google ()
1 Euro = 1.3563 U.S. dollars
and
()
1 Euro = 1.50115218 Canadian dollars

in this moment.

:???:

gas prices usually jump when oil jumps but takes a while to drop when the price of oil falls

Honestly, I am constantly working with investments and finance, and can't figure out why gasoline is so expensive, when Lt. Sweet Crude has been on a major slide recently!

Well John, I wouldn't complain; the prices in Europe are way higher than in the US - as always - 'euro95' is about 1,70$ here, if you pick the cheapest station around.

(Btw, @ your title; it's not quite correct; a price can be high, not expensive, so your title should be 'Really high gas prices' or 'Really expensive gas' ;))

Dude 1.20 is cheap!
Here in Sweden we have to pay around $1.74/litre

back in the good old times the gas price were at your levels now, okej maybe some cents less but still!
So stop whining! :P

I live in Serbia and here prizes are: for diesel it's $1.16 and for gasолине it's $1.41. (US dollars)

Hybrid cars are still not worth the purchase. Even with rebates from the government, they still cost a high premium over their gas counterparts. Unless you drive for a living, the high gas prices shouldn't affect most people that much. In general, people just like to bitch about prices. :lol:

and here I am thinking that $0.78 price for gas is already expensive here in the Philippines. Compared to US? well...that $1.225 is really expensive. LOL

Gas prices have started to affect my driving habits. I have a Honda Civic, so it's pretty good on gas, but with > $1 prices it's starting to hurt. Especially now that I'm driving more.

US$3.29 for REGULAR here in Orange County - i filled up this morning. in LA it's US$3.65. :cry:

U$ 3.40 one galon, average in Central America

It's $1.00 here in Calgary.... Which never makes sense to me considering we MAKE most of the gas.... grrrrr.

crazy Americans bitching about their price of gas, people here pay twice as much and earn about 1/4 of US salaries...

1,35 Euros (2.06 Canadian dollars) for regular gas in Germany :-(

On the east coast (Prince Edward Island)a litre of gas will run you 112.9, our gas prices are regulated by the provincial government and only change on the 1st or 15th of each month unless dramatic changes have occured on the global market. Will be interesting to see it the price goes up tomorrow, likely will.

It's $3.59 here in San Fran. :evil:

I work from home as well, so I don't notice the petrol prices to much here in Oz.

its around 92p a litre here in southern England.
in U.S. dollars that $1.83 , in Canadian dollars $2.04

In Italy , 1,31 Euros (!!) per litre...

Here in Finland a litre of gas is about $1.8. Last week when I took full tank (around 64 litres) it cost something like $113, pretty expensive.

I already know that prices have always been sky high for gas in Europe...but here in the US we don't really have the alternatives that you guys have come up with either (ie very few diesel cars, no ethanol, VERY limited biodiesel, etc).

Personally I think we've been lazy in the US when it comes to alternative fuels, and now it's biting us in the butt

I'm used to such prices. I believe Europe has always been more expensive that America, when it comes to petrol. A price of $1.30 is common these days. My car is a Diesel, and it has an incredible consumption of 4-5 l /100km, so I don't need to refuel so often. It is true that it cost me about $2000 more than a gasoline one, but I got some extra benefits as well, so it was worth the choice.

Prices are only going to go up too! I'm excited, are you?

91.9 pence per litre here in Leeds UK. That currently converts to 2.049 CAD. To fill up my car it would be £55 (60 litres). 122.72 CAD.

Gas prices in Spain are around 1 Euro a litre (1.30 US$ aprox) which seems extremely expensive to us, but compared to the rest of Europe it's quite cheap. I was back in the UK last month and prices were in the region of 0.95 gbp per litre which is more or less 1.45 euros or 1.90 US$.

So I won't be complaining

gas is a lot worse over in europe, though.

Here in Honolulu, HI. regular gas has gone up to 3.00+. For a while it was around $2.80 and then suddenly went up about two weeks ago. I'm lucky I drive a puny Honda Civic which holds about 10 gals of gasoline (full tank).

As the price of gas increased over the years, I never really got into public transportation or carpooling. I seriously considered them several times, but never really got to actually doing them. I guess the only thing I did to play down my gas expenses was when I bought another car and switched to diesel/bio-diesel/bio-fuel for longer trips.

Gas is arround 1.70$ (1.89sfr) here in Switzerland.

Of course it has changed our habits. We buy smaller and economic cars alot more than before.

Btw: Its cheaper to travel by air than by ground in europe atm... thx to the cheap airlines arround.

I go to work by train so I only care about the gas when I use the car at home, or to get to the club...

Some of you guys need to take a trip to the UK, then you'll appreciate the price of your fuel!

I am in Scotland, UK, and we are paying $1.79 per litre which is about $6.78 per US gallon

Gas is $2.79 for regular where I'm at in south carolina!!!ridiculous!!

At the moment in Australia, we're paying anywhere between $1.15 and $1.35 for standard unleaded petrol.

When you've got a job that is a distance away from your home, it really eats into your pay cheque paying for the fuel. I think at the moment my wife spends ~AUD$75/week on fuel to get to work.

Al.

o,really expensive.
:evil: ,so, you must do more research to earn more money on line to afford the expensive gas.

39.9 I remember when it hit 29.9 oh the great gas wars of 99 I think it was for vancovuer.. Now Ihave to be happy jsut using the petro Credid Card and gettign my 5.5 cents off per liter. oh well.

We just have to except it, or get a hybrid.
I imagine the less gas we use the more they would charge to make up.

I use 93 Octane in my car and it's $3 per gallon. Ridiculous. The summer hasn't even begun and the summer price hikes are already starting.

We should all drive motorcycles with sidecars.

Wow, your gas is expensive! Here in Lansing, Michigan it is $2.89 a gallon. My van NEVER has a full tank of gas!

I remember when gas prices in the USA were $0.99/gallon in the good old days, now it's like $2.79/gallon!

I remember when it was $0.99/gallon in USA, and back then it was still expensive now it's like $2.79/gallon
