gas price in usa?
 

Hi !

I'd like to know what the price for 1Litre of 95octane gas costs in usa ?

huh, I saw it for 2.56 a gallon today.

Well I saw 93 octane for $2.85/G which would be about $0.75/L.

in cincinnati its about 2.75$ a gallon.--josh

hmpf ! that very cheap !

I suppose I could send you some in the mail but the import costs would outweigh the savings. :lol: Not to mention other restrictions that may or may not apply to mailing gasoline...

here in sweden gas costs about 6,55$/gallon

Holy crap... I've never understood why fuel is so expensive in Europe. You guys are CLOSER to the oil-producing countries. It should be cheaper to import... :neutral:

A full tank costs us 140 usd.. (70L) It's more like an investment than simple filling her up..

yup :( and an mmm combo 450$ and traxxas revo 3.3 970-1000 $

Alaska is 3.24 a gallon

It's about $2.35/g here. :mdr:

US octanes and euro octanes are different thats to method of measurement

US 91 is i think 95 in europe.

anyway US gas is CHEAP :)


I understand that even for us in europe US prices seem to be very low, but for you in the US are not. Everything is just so far away. Last year in Phoenix I stayed in a hotel just couple blocks away from my office and still in 5 days I drove over 400miles and it was just to go to places i had to around the city.

gotta love having controlling interest in middle eastern countries :lol: !--josh

Damn squee! Those prices sound familiar! Thats what I paid on Seigen Ln 2 days ago.

FL. 92%octane $2.85+ per Gl.

Glad the Jeep loves 85% !!!!

:lol: What you doin out this way?

83 cents a litre here in Canada and we pull it out of the ground 5 hours from my house,go figure.

Litres = gallon ????

Taxes
 

The problem in Europe is the fuel taxes that the Gov puts on every liter of fuel that is brought into the country. In allot of European countries there is something like a 100% tax on fuel. Just like everything else in Eu the taxes just kill the cost of anything and everything, but that is also why you have medical and educational benefits for free. The last time I read the income tax level in the UK was right at about 50% on every pound earned. there are pros and cons to both sides of that coin. Sure we have lower tax rates in the USA, but we also have a serious medical benefit issue and our education options have gone through the roof $$$$$. So it all depends on how you are looking at the situation.

1 Gallon = 3.785 Litres

OK, 3.13 per Gallon. Hmm, not a joke :no:

Still better than 4.60 a gallon for 85% last year Eeep !

Prices jump around a lot over here. It's not uncommon for the price to change by $0.05/gal overnight. A few days ago, it was $2.28/gal, but I just filled up on the way home from work tonight and it was $2.30/gal. Prices are generally cheaper here because the gas is mixed with ethanol, which is produced from corn, and we are a corn state, so...

Gas is $2.35 right now in SD. One local Kum and Go as gas at $2.30.

Diesel is $2.69/gal. I heard it's a lot cheaper in europe?

I remember when I was a lil kid it was $.98/gal. :angel:

AND here's a cool map of the US gas prices - http://www.southdakotagasprices.com/...By_County.aspx

I live in St. James parish and I'm always in BR.



Go figure, my family and community basically run the oil refineries and we still pay higher prices.

Haha,last year around here it hit $1.79 a litre and I have 3 large refineries 20 minutes from my house as well as the oil sands up north.I think the commotities market sets the prices,todays price for gas was set 6 months ago and unless there is a disaster somewhere they will keep setting the price.

i pay 1.50perL for 98 octane here in aus or around 5.60 a gallon

doesn't stop me driving my V8 ute = )

Gas prices
 

I have travled and lived in many countries around the world over the last 6 years, and I can tell you for sure that the USA has about the lowest prices of any country in the world for gas. We have a Dodge Grand Caravan LE and when we fill it up in the USA it will cost us about $45 for a tank full of regular gas. When we were in Brussels, Belgium we had to fill up on our way to Paris in May/2007, and when I saw the total amount on the pump I was freaking out, because it was approximately $135. I thought there was something wrong with the pump or that some how the last person left us with their fill up payment. We normally used a gas card to keep our van filled up that we purchased through the US Embassy at USA prices, but when you travel out of your assigned country or zone you have to pay the regular full price.

We have the best gas prices of just about any other country in the world and yet we go freakin nuts when it reaches over $3 per gallon. I could not understand how people could even afford to drive while we were in Europe, but most of the people who do drive on a regular daily basis can only do so because their company or business paid for their gas. In Europe with periodic vehicle inspections, insurance, road tax, and the cost of gas you need a job just to pay for your car and travel expenses. That is why in most European countries the public transportation system is so much better than those that you see in the USA.

Last I filled up it was $2.649 for 85.5 octane. I fill my Subaru at around the half tank mark for about $20, and run 87 Octane in the Mustang at about $25-$30 per half tank. I live about 11 miles away from work which is closer than the nearest grocery store, so alternative transportation isn't an option. I want to build an electric go kart, but I doubt I can afford to build one that would make it to town and back...

In England where I am petrol is currently £1.129/litre or $1.78 and is 90% tax, when converting from gallons remember the US gallon is a fair bit smaller than a regular imperial gallon, I didn't know the US had modified octane ratings too though I just assumed the octanes over there were lower to keep the cost down when high octane isn't needed for the typical low compression American engine.

Currently you have to be earning a hell of a lot over here to be in the 50% income tax bracket, although I think the cap will be dropped to £100K - $158k after the election in may to reduce the debt we just picked up, everyone in my circle of friends gets about 32%.

currently $3.45/gallon for 87 octane and $3.65/gallon for 91 octane in Hilo, Hawaii.

Yah, sitting at £1.129 here in England at the moment. Considering a gallon is around 4.5L over here you are looking at a £5.10 gallon, or $7.80 approx. It's expensive, but like has been said we have services that have to be funded somehow. If only they actually did it properly.

Car tax, fuel tax, VAT (which is paid on top of the fuel tax, so when fuel goes up, so does the amount of tax you pay), national insurance, income tax, council tax, import duty, not to mention a lot of stealth tax like the £15 surcharge they added onto criminal fines recently.

A lot of the tax involved in bringing stuff in from the US to here is always related to how pissed off the governments of the two countries are about each other. My father buys American cars and imports them into the country, he bought a 69' Buick Riviera and about 3 days before he imported it there was an argument over something stupid like bananas and a trade embargo was put in place that took all special priviledges away. Stuff like cars made before 1972 not being elligible for import tax, and only being subject to 5% VAT. As it was he paid 17.5% VAT and 10% import duty. To add insult to injury, the VAT is added at the end of the calculation, so to the total cost of the car including car purchase price, shipping fees, finders fees, even the import duty is subject to VAT. It's a bit of a pisstake.

Yes sir.
 

Yes sir they tax the crap out of yal over there. By the time you figure everything out on a yearly basis Brits end up paying more than 50% of everything they make to the Royal Government. AND yes that is where we are headed if Obama has his way.

They may not want to call it socialized society, but that is exactly what it will turn out to be. We are already paying out about 25% to 30% in taxes now, so if they pass the new medical bill that will add another 20% to 25% to what we are already paying out. So think about that America??? That will mean if you make $16 and hour on the job that $8 of every hour goes directly into the Gov's systems and programs. So even though your pay looks good on paper, what you are actually working for is half of your hourly wages. So if you take good care of yourself and hardly use the medical system at all, which saves you tons of money now. Well that will all come to an end very soon, because you will be paying for everyone elses medical problems and/or frauds and scams.

Actually we are already much higher then that. By the time you figure Income tax, sales tax, transportation tax, import tax, gas tax, cigarette tax, alcohol tax, ect. You can figure that in the end, around 70% of everything we make, goes to taxes in some shape or form.

Yes
 

Sorry for not being spot on, but that is why I stated MORE than 50%. I knew it was high so thank you for putting it straight.:lol: My point was that your tax situation really sucks compared to most from teh stand point of having to pay out so much money from your wages.

I'm sorry, my point was, that "we" ,as Americans , already pay a much higher tax then 50% . By the time Obama is done, it will probably be more like 90.

The US and other countries should add more Ethanol into the gas. Here in the US it should be easy since they magically became the number one producer of Ethanol. I hope the US can back that statement, because I know it's not true at all. A single sugar cane farm in Brasil will always produce better quality Ethanol than here in the US and we don't have to sacrifice a source of food to produce it. Our Ethanol is basically a product that comes after our sugar and Cachaca :lol: is made. The farms I know off produce their own energy and some of the crap I've been hearing here is just amazing. I remember when US went to Brasil to get some of our Ethanol and we agreed to it, but ask why the US has put a 100% import duty on the Ethanol. So let the US use the corn to claim it's the number one producer of Ethanol :lol: and it's funny that Brasil uses it the most for their auto industry, but US produces the most so where the it go. Does anyone have an answer for this?

Should I have put this in the Conspiracy thread? :whistle:

Good conspiracy.

Gotta disagree with that Luc. Ethanol is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water. In vehicles designed for gasoline this can lead to multiple issues, not the least of which would be frozen gas lines. There are many people who swear up and down that their mileage has decreased a significant amount with using adulterated fuels.

They have been mucking with our gas for at least 20 years. It started with the oxygenated fuels in the late 80s. This was the death knell for many a 2 stroke engine as it caused them to run lean and blow holes in pistons. Ask any snowmobiler what they think about either of the above and you'll get a very angry look at the least!

Its not just Obama....
 

Ethanol is miscible with water, but anything above 50% EtOH its melting/freezing point is below the coldest temps you find. Anything below that would have to mixed w/ some other fuel like gas, which also will not freeze readily. Engines do have to be specially designed to run EtOH tho as a high % fuel, and looks like cause their own special problems too.

Ethanol does have a much lower energy density than octane, so it does take more volume to get the same amt of power. I know my mileage goes down in winter. Too bad the price really doesn't. :(

We do produce tons of corn, but most of that sugar just goes into food or cattle feed. I would guess there are tariffs to protect our corn industry from cheaper cane produced ethanol. Also, I think I saw Brasil was a little pissed back in 2008 that the US may come into the market and buyout the EtOH as our gas prices were skyrocketing, and we are such a large and wealthy market. It was feared we'd just buy up Brasil's supply, leaving the people there w/o the fuel they need (and can't switch to oil easily.) Prolly some protectionism on both sides.


As far as taxes and budgets are concerned, we do pay a lot, but its a joke to say its all Obama's fault. No one from either R or D really wants to cut spending, despite all the noise they make about it. Congress wouldn't even agree to a budget commission to propose spending cuts.

Everyone wants to cut everyone else's spending, but not their own.
2/3rds of the Budget is Defense, Medicare, SS and debt payments. Obama didn't invent those spending programs. All the other stuff people complain most about makes up the last 3rd (which a good deal is unemployment payments. Who dares to cut those now?)

So where do we cut all the spending then?
Chop down the military?
Stop paying out SS?
Stop paying medicare?

Deficit reduction is going nowhere w/o touching those

No one wants to vote to cut the military, or cut benefits to Grandma. No one wants to raise taxes to pay for it. Anyone who proposes anything gets beaten over the head by the other side. Both sides do it, and nothing ever gets done about it. Raising taxes and spending cuts will have to be done to restore some fiscal sanity to the US budget.
For the most part, Obama got to come in as the house of cards fell. He who smelt it, delt it, right? We'll see what happens. Prolly just more bickering and finger pointing as Rome burns. (haha or Greece as it were.)
