In Costa Rica, I am paying the equilivent of .80 cents (US) per liter or appox. 3.20 (US) per gallon for regular. In light of recent events in the Gulf states, I was wondering how much you are paying in Calif., NY, Tex, ect. Please respond with what you are paying per gallon in US funds. LVSteve |

How about in Illinois where we have stations who claim to be out of gas. My area is at it's cheapest $2.99 and the highest I have seen is $3.19. I'm sure it's only a matter of a few hours before the $2.99 station will raise to $3.19. dapanz1 |

Guys, up here in the 'Great White North', 1 litre of regular unleaded goes for $1.27.9, the highest is in Montreal (Quebec) last night at $1.34.9 per litre  Gas prices are a great cash cow for Gov't as taxes are hidden in the prices. One of the Govts fav SIN TAX (cig, gas + beer/liq)
So 2 nights ago I filled-up my empty Dodge Intrepid that cost me $65.00 Cdn (at $1.05.9) = apprx. $78.00 US (20% exch). 1 gallan = 3.79 litres = $4.01 Cdn = $4.81 per gallon US up here for regular. You'll need a mortgage to buy premium gas. We love the metric system up here

This morning, the local station that I use (Central Florida) prices were 2.99 regular, 3.09 mid-grade, 3.19 premium, 2.99 diesel. But the girl behind counter said probably another 15 to 20 cents increase by next week. |

$2.90 - $3.10 in Atlanta area today. Yesterday, one BP station caught on helicopter video was charging $6/gallon. I imagine it was an immigrant who just pannicked. |

Can you believe the media in the USA has not picked up on Chavez's Venezuelan Oil offers for humanitarian aid (for Katrina victims), and for the poor. The guy wants to give it away, and W and the Media is ignoring it...maybe I just havent seen it. |

Seems to me it would be an excellent chance for some rapprochement after the Pat Robertson fiasco. Of course, Bush may not care to make nice-nice with Chavez. My own attitude is we may not care for the guy or like his policies, but like it or not he was elected by a majority of Venezuelans in what Jimmy Carter and others certified to be a fair election. So lets try and deal with the guy. To take a neo-con response, the guy also sends oil to Fidel with whom he's good pals with, he doesn't serve the multinational corporate oil interests and his offer is probably more an effort at PR and propaganda than anything else. |

I knew Projilo would offer a wise (and the same as me) response. He (chavez) is bartering with his oil to other latin american and caribbean countries, and it is working. I just find it amazingly odd, that this hasnt been picked up by the often liberal media. |

Okay-- I really want to go political on the Chavez thing-- as I ** did ** see it in the media. But I thought it was only a million dollars worth? But what I wanted to post was how cool Costa Rica is (and I guess Canada, too!) in that you can buy cars and trucks with diesel engines, which are a lot cheaper to run. I've got a 1980 Land Cruiser diesel, and-- although I haven't tracked it dilligently-- I'm guessing it's getting about 25 mpg. I'm going to be trading it for a diesel 4runner, which I've read can get between 30-35 mpg, diesel. I'm also looking into a biodiesel or veggie fuel conversion, so I can run the thing on vegetable oil. F--- Opec and Chavez. |
