Title: Fuel Cost
Post by: Bob_Roller on December 15, 2014, 05:33:25 PM
Curious to see what other members are paying for fuel in their area, after oil costs have decreased by about half in the last 6 months .

Currently, $2.30US per US gallon, 1US gallon=3.8 liters, for 87 octane ' regular ' here in the northern Sonoran desert of south central Aridzona ..

'bout the same as you, Bob, here in North Texas.

But I did see some gas advertised in Oklahoma for $1.89 - 1.99 for 'regular'. Headed up there and filled up but by the time I got home, I was low on fuel.

It was $1.89 a litre in Auckland on the weekend, the lowest it's been for a long, long time.  I put some fuel in my car at work today, $2.05 a litre - I seldom fill up at work, we are normally 10 cents a litre dearer than anywhere else.  2nd highest fuel prices in the Waikato, the only place higher is in the middle of nowhere.

Cheapest here at Asda  (WallyWorld) £1.12p/litre (about $1.75ish) that's about $7 /USG !!!!!! 7 bucks, at this point American members faint....... I tend not to use supermarket fuel trust me its crap, I use BP Shell or Texaco generally about 5p per litre more but better mpg and happier engines. 6 months ago you were paying north of £1.30/litre

I filled up recently at £1.15/Litre which was the best in our locale.  They say it will drop further but not below £1.00/Litre.

I've had a week or so of commuting in the car and had drained the tank on the bike to check for any water - not a drop.  

Withdrawal symptoms had me siphon a gallon out of the car and I'm back on the bike today.

about $2.40 per gallon for name brand 87 octane regular here in NJ.  NY & Conn are higher.

No-name / independent label is usually cheaper by $0.10 to $0.15 per gallon
