So how much does it cost to fill your beast?

I can still fill up the Belvedere for about $60 U.S. It only holds 15 gallons so I'm not going a long way on a tankful. Luckily we can still get premium gas from Union 76 that doesn't have any ethanol in it and supposedly gets a teeny little bit better mileage. What I don't understand is why the gas is so high priced in Canada when you guys are sitting on all that oil.
 
Filled up my pick-up 2 days ago and it cost me $107 and that was with a discount for cash and another discount of 10 cents a gallon for the points I had on my grocery store discount card. Worst part is that I will have to fill again today because of all the driving around I've had to do lately.
 
filled up the Road Runner the other day. $79.00 93 octane @ $4.14 a gallon with a 19 gallon tank
if this was 1970 it would have cost $6.00 @$ 00.32 a gallon
 
for those $79 I will have 9.5 gallon 93 octane here in Sweden yekk:icon_puke_r:
 
If I were you, surely wouldn´t regret. 0,16 US$ per gallon, but...

306Doba, I converted your liters to our gallons, works out to about $5.45/gal. OOF! That being said, I'm paying $4.27 in Nor Cal, and we don't get healthcare with our taxes. I'm probably in the minority on this board, but I'd take pricier gas if I didn't have to pay $400/month for health insurance...

68GTX4speed, your numbers work out to... $8.32/gal in Sweden. I couldn't afford to putter around in my '74 at that price...

And Venecharger- $0.16/gal is amazing... but the minimum wage in Venezuela is... $2.25/hr, right?

Wow. International gas prices are blowing my mind!
 
WAY Too much...
 
Here in Prince george gas is $1.28 a liter,Diesel $1.34 liter.Can't figure that one out, Diesel is more the gas.:angry1:
 
Diesel being more than gas is such a scam. From what I know, it's much cheaper to refine oil into diesel fuel than gasoline. I assume that since diesel vehicles get more miles to the gallon, oil companies charge more. I drove a diesel Ford Mondeo wagon in Italy- it had a 6 speed stick, was fun to drive, got great mileage, and fit 5 people and gear comfortably. I would buy one in a second if they sold 'em in the US, but of course they don't. :angryfire:
 
I probably could have squeezed in another $10-20 cause I didn't quite reach the full line, usually when I fill it sits above full. Pump must have cut out early. From what i've read the car has a 95.5 liter tank and I know I was running on fumes, the red light was on for about 40kms and it was sitting below empty. I didn't even think I was going to make the gas station

Diesel costs more than gas because of worldwide demand. Europe and Asia (especially China) Use lots more diesel on a percentage basis than North America. So the oil companies are going to take their refined products to wherever they can get the most money for them. The largest U.S. export now, in dollars, is refined petroleum products. Gas, diesel and jet fuel.

X-2 Your so right!!! How times have changed, now look at what were paying to drive any, but cars that back then when winter came, you didn't wash-n-wax and put up for winter, you dug the winter diggers out and checked anti-freeze... I put 26 bucks (3.86 gal) when i got my Ram back today and tank read close to 1/2 full, so im figuring about 60 some dollars to fill completely up, I only put that in the truck to make 10 miles back home and in the next couple days head to a gas station about 8 miles from hear to fill it cheaper, Ohio is always cheaper then the town we live by in Pa, at least that Shell station gas i think its called..... They did have on the local news out of Erie Pa. every night a segment that said what the cheapest station around was so we knew, and this station is at a cross roads called Bushnell and sometimes it was the cheapest for a few days at one time.
 
:glasses7:Lolololololololol at 20+ gals you really don't wanna know...do ya ??:eek:
 
Just paid 3.35 for Ethal. Weird that Colorado has some of the lowest prices right now along with a few other Western states.
