about the same here, but going up almost every day

Canadian 4.36 per G

They actually try and fool us by selling it by the litre price.
4 litres makes a perfect US Gallon.
1.09 per litre

Was in San Francisco two weeks ago...$2.89 for regular, $3.09 for premium
Reno, NV $2.69 regular
Salt Lake City, UT $2.39 regular

Our local (MA) 11.00pm news tonight was saying some gas stations in California are charging just over $4 a gallon, I bet the Brits out there are loving hearing this, just so long as they ain't vacationing in the US!!!

I have seen the cost of things go up but gas takes the cake. Whats worse is it hits you in so many places. For example now if you order any computer parts that must be shipped by fedex or ups guess what? Thats right sports fans they have a surcharge now in place because of gas prices. Stop the madness...hydrofule now!

I live in cali and i haven't seen any 4 dollors a gal but it sure is really close, you might find 4 dollors a gal when your out in the middle of know where and need gas badly!! but its not bad its pushing high 2's low to mid 3's. I dont think it helps when your driving a gas guzzler like my truck that gets 13 miles to the gal and about 15 miles to the gal on the freeway. thats about a 40 to 50 dollor fill for me every 2 to 3 weeks

bAdWaYz>>hydrofule now!

30,000 psi pressure in a hydrogen tank. Triple the pressure in a propane tank.
Even if you could get a hydrogen tank the same size as your present gas tank
you could only travel about 100 miles on hydrogen.

The problems they are having with hydrogen is the molecules are very large.
Compressing them is difficult (make a tank smaller than the car). Their present
way to deal with this is to make those little tanks you've most likely seen on TV
in a hydro-car, fits in the trunk and takes up about ½ the trunk. They get about
80 miles out of the present technology.

Hydrogen is not going to work for powering vehicles. It's a bad poker hand and
anyone who plays it is bluffing. I feel sorry for companies like Ballard, it's inevitable
this "all comes out in the wash" and investors start abandoning hydrogen. For me
I don't want to be anywhere near 30,000 pounds of compressed hydrogen.

Couldn't give you a figure cos I am very unobservant but everytime I go to the petrol station I cannot believe how much it costs here now (per ltr).

Last Friday I purchased gas for US$2.08/gal. This morning on the way to work, it cost me US$2.32/gal. - same store.

[MishY]

Bet that monster car of yours costs a bomb to fill up Zip

[Spider]

Sold this in 2001 when gas was 0.70¢ per liter speculating no end to nutty gas prices.



At that time it cost me $75.00 to fill up the tank.
I went back to sedans (6 cylinder) and now @ 1.09 per liter it cost me $44.00 to fill up my tank.
V8s are out forever. Anyone who still owns one never did the math on what one month of gas
totals to. How can you pay more for gas in one month that you do for insurance for the whole year?

Howdy:

Actually, it's 3.8 litres to a US gallon (to many hours converting from Imperial gallons to US gallons to litres when figuring out flow rates)..

Prices here are just under $1.06 a litre so that would be $4.03C per US gallon or about $3.00US

90p per litre around pie country. I reckon that's around 1.70 USD! A LITRE!!!

I've got a 5.7 liter HEMI Magnum.
Living in the South, I need it simply for the heated mirrors.
