Just a quick update on the price here. Saturday morning we went to a Rod Run and went by the gas station where I normally by gas close to home. Gas was up to $2.08 from $2.02 earlier in the week.

When we came home Saturday evening, the same gas station was at $2.14! :shock:

If it continues at that rate, $.12 per week, it'll be over $3 by June. Is that depressing, or what?

Around here Diesel 2 is $2.34 Gallon and I am unsure what the price is at the moment for unleaded. I try not to drive the SUV and have turned it over to an RV life and drive my 21-year-old VW Jetta Diesel. That little car is amazing over 500k miles, some work done of course, but if I slow down to 5–10 miles under the speed limit I get 55+mpg range. If I drive like the rest of the people on the road 5-10 miles over the speed limit I get around 45mpg. The nice thing about the diesel is I am not locked into petroleum fuels. I have been messing around with burning vegetable oils and biodiesel.

SteveH,

On the positive side, $2.14 US/gal = approx $.68 Cdn/L.

We are paying about $.94 Cdn/L right now which is about $2.96 US/gal.

So we are paying about 38% more for gas than you.

Does that make you feel better?

Dave,

Not really, because I believe most of the difference in the price between the US and Canada on gasoline, is tax. I know that is the main difference between the US and Europe.

So, based on the escellation rate we are currently seeing, you may be paying $4 US by June. Does that make you feel better? I would think not.

I'm affraid the price won't stabilize until there are lots of people everywhere who simply can't afford to buy it anymore. And that will cause a major impact on the world economy. Seems to me we could very easily see a world wide depression caused by the price of oil.

True... our taxes gas, income etc are a bit unweildly.

Higher gas prices won't keep us home, nor is it apparently affecting vacation plans for most summer travellers. I read that San Franciso is up to about $2.33 now! yikes! Luckily most of our driving in the summer is for vacations, so an extra $25 on average per trip isn't going to bankrupt us.

The Patriot station was 2.89 per gal.
Nine out of the top fifteen gas stations in the country are in our area right now.
The price we pay to live in the fog and redwoods.
Thanks Mr. Renner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dean,

Costco was something like $2.69 today, any idea what it was at the station on Harris street in Henderson Center is? They are generally the highest in town.

by **Guest** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 12:01 am

That is one of the Patriot stations now, 2.89
I filled up at Renner's Ripoff Cardlock, 2.72
I'm considering adding fuel surcharges to my invoices for travel time and no more free estimates if I have to go look at the job.
(My glass supplier has been doing it for about two years now. (7% add-on to all of their invoices)

Dave,

Those numbers don't quite look right. Seeing as 1 US gallon is equivalant to 3.78 L then your gas price should be 3.55 per gallon (Canadian prices) (and mostly taxes, of course!)

Now that worries me if it texas you are thinking buy june it will be 3.bucks where will we in CA Be. this smorning in Los Osos, a little town by the sea it was 2.79. I hope you all are driving a little slower to save on gas. So far here I have not seen any one slow down.

Last night I was in a little town named Indian Springs. It's about 30 miles north of Las Vegas. As I passed by the gas station noticed that premium was at $3.09! Ouch!

Gas here just hit 89.5 L, Just north of Vancouver B.C...No signs of slowing down. :cry:

Here in West Texas I paid $2.14 a gallon to fill up Thursday morning.
That station is known as the best price in town. I got midgrade for that. Regular was $2.10 and premium was $2.18. Two blox closer to my house regular was $2.26 for Shell brand.

If I get it, the job I ineterviewed for Thursday is 110 miles, door to door, from my house. The job is about 12 and a half miles from Palo Duro Canyon State Park. A water&lights site there, weeknites, runs about $12. I suspect I could justify staying over three or four nights a week just on the cost of the commuting gas.
