Technical GAS-what are U paying............

WOW !! What is 85 Octane? Will cars even run on that low octane?

 

Wasent there a saying about
92 is lawn mowers
95 is for Daily drivers
And 98/99 is for Real cars!

Or is that only over here?

And 85 most then be for starting fires? LOL

 

Just gone under $2 a litre over here, was up to $2.40 per litre at one stage, there's 3.8 litres per U.S gallon so next time you guys complAin about expensive gas, spare a thought for your hot rodding brothers over here in New Zealand!!

High altitude here (6000 ft) reduces the need for higher octane on average. Still need to choose the one your car likes best. Our cars run great on it for everyday driving. I had never seen 85 octane myself until we moved out west.

 

Best in a long time, $1.86 in Topeka, Ks.

 

$2.25 in Shelton, Washington and $2.45 for the good ethanol free stuff and most people gain about 2 mpg using it. We have a lot of taxes on fuel.

$1.83 in Fort Worth

 

I cannot believe we here in Dayton are paying $1.84 per gallon.

 

Where I live in Wi.(Waukesha/Jefferson county line) the pump price of regular gas is $2.24. The cheapest I seen it in Wi. is Kenosha/Racine area at $1.99.

I don't know about the price of gas delivered because we don't use much of it but we go through a lot of diesel and we get quotes everyday for a semi load. it is coming down pretty fast. Because of the holiday we got our last semi price on Tuesday Dec. 23, it was $2.47 a gallon to have a semi load of diesel delivered , the price of diesel at the pumps was $3.19. add .09 to it if you buy a partial semi load.

 

Ours has really dropped recently, its now down to £1.11p a litre, which is £4.95 a gallon which is $7.70

 

Approx £1.20 per litre in UK times that by four=£4.80 roughly $7.50 but then our government are robbing bastards and they wonder why our economy is fucked. Just saw Langy,s post....must type faster

 

I thought gasoline was illegal in SF?

I think they're going to close the city of All private transportation by 2020.

It cost me $90 a day to park my rental by pier 39!

 

So, has it gone up since the 1st of the yr?

 

In 1968,I was a young man 21 years of age; bought a new Roadrunner for $2842.80; Super Shell 104 octane loaded with lead additive was $0.25 per gallon.Today in south Texas,that "panther piss" 84 octane was $1.88 per gallon; those good days are gone forever!

 

Springfield, Mo. this morning....$1.69

 

Gas bumped up a little right before Christmas a few cents(nickel maybe) but came back down. now it is $1.99 a gallon. Didn't go to the office so I don't have todays quote but diesel is still dropping almost daily and yesterday semi price was $2.10 a gallon, at the pump it was $2.89

 

N.E. corner of Oklahoma $1.67 for 10% ethanol. $1.79 for non ethanol.

 

warren ,oh 1.74 it seems as though that people don't understand what is going on here . the arabs are letting it fall to put the drillers here in the us out of business. makes it not profitable .

 

$1.99 here. never thought I'd see it this low again. makes my 15mpg DD seem afordable

 

Yeah, the thin air up here in the Rockies altitude doesn't require much octane. When I first moved here and saw 85 octane my jaw dropped.....But no pinging though. Performance dropped off from what it was in thicker air, but you can't fight physics.

 

$1.84 gal today here in North Arkansas on the Missouri Stateline Mammoth Spring, Ar./Thayer, Mo.

 

Left Indianapolis 1/2/15 and saw $1.979 for regular and got home to Washington State where it is in the $2.60 range. Love the highway taxes here.

 

$1.89 here today

 

Gas prices plummeting here in NZ. Now gone down to $1.81 per Litre (NZ$)

 

$2.49 (starting to go up). Yup CARB sucks the big one.........a gov branch with no one to answer too, very scarey. 10 more years and it's time to pack it up, I'll miss the beaches and the coast driving (won't miss the over crowding and traffic), but I'll live close enough to drive back (if I miss it that bad).

 

1.59.9 yesterday in OKC

 

$2.33 by me, I hear as low as $2.24, take away the 30¢ NYC tax and it gets even lower.

 

$1.85 here.

Don't expect these prices to last long.

 

with me I don't care what the price as I do not have a bus to ride and it beats walking , and car will not run with out it and Like heck am I gonnna push that 3500 pound behemoth to a show or down the the 1/4 mile . ( the last time we did this it took 3 of us several minutes to do it and we all about went to the hospital afterwords .. )
