how much are you paying for gas?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

MaxSilvia · 02-27-2003, 01:18 AM

just wondering how much you guys are paying in your areas. we are paying about $1.74 for regular and 1.85 for plus right now in oshkosh, wi. how bout your guys.

019 · 02-27-2003, 01:22 AM

1.799 for 93 octane here in blacksburg, va

datkwikracer · 02-27-2003, 02:55 AM

at leats 2 bux for premium(which isn't 93, but 91)in so cal.
i think it was 22-23 bux to fill up my s13 last time.

Apparition · 02-27-2003, 09:02 AM

84cents per litre here in Canada. Its bloody ridiculous. I'm paying usually $36-38 to fill it.

uiuc240 · 02-27-2003, 09:39 AM

bah. quit whining. all of you. we *should* be paying what the rest of the world is paying...which is about $3-4 (US) per gallon.

paying more money means more money to pay for the roads that we all need so badly (because our stupid gov't won't spend a dime on mass transit). right now, we all assume that roads are "free"...something you get to use just because you have a car. well, it's the single most expensive thing in this country. we spend more on road maintenance and construction than anything else. gas taxes are the best way to pay for that. that way, only people that drive, pay for the roads.

i'd love to see the price hit $3 per gallon. the friggin' SUVs would start to disappear, and maybe we'd start to see some of the kick ass diesel cars start to show up on these shores. you'd be amazed at what they have in europe.

anyway, that's all i'm going to say on that. i could go on forever.

I'm not so high on this idea. Usually I can take stuff with a grain of salt, but not this. There is no reason why our cars that get very high 20's for mileage should pay the same price that jerkoffs in SUVs getting their 12mpg pay. I think that the prices should be based on the car you own, and the reasons. If you have 5 kids, sure. You can have an suv. If you have a small penis and drive an SUV for no other reason... they pay thru the nose.
-Jeff

-E- · 02-27-2003, 05:28 PM

Regular $1.62
Plus $1.73
Premium $1.84

i like that idea. that'd be really interesting if they made you pay depending on the mpg you get. although you know all the "small penis" suv drivers would get ****ed as hell, haha.

96SEChick · 02-27-2003, 08:16 PM

It looks like Tulsa is one of the cheaper places for gas. Right now:

$1.47/gal for 87
$1.52/gal for 89
$1.61/gal for 93
$1.43/gal for diesel (I remember when diesel was a LOT cheaper than gasoline)

In high school, gas here was $.87/gal most of the time. Now, it costs me $23 to fill my tank up (lovely 17gal tank and 23mpg winter gas mileage--I have to let my car warm up from dead cold 3 times/day!

)

I respect your opinion and I dislike (not hate) SUV's, but I would not pay out of my pocket to get rid of them.

I'm forking out $1.799 for 93. Most of it blows out my tailpipe and results in 23mpg, rather than the normal 28

Jeff

b_dyche · 02-27-2003, 08:56 PM

here in Mt. Vernon/Burlington, WA...

ARCO on Burlington Blvd. is up to $1.699/gal for 87 Octane

Texaco/Chevron/Shell all have the same price at $1.829/gallon for 87 Octane, up to $2.149 for 92 Octane...

In my home-town of Oak Harbor, WA gas has gone up even more (everything is more expensive... Whidbey Island is "out of the way" from the main route... about 45 truck minutes from the interstate... bah!)

ARCO is at $1.849 for 87 Octane...

Hilltop Texaco is up to $1.979 for 87 Octane... $2.099 for 89 Octane, and $2.199 for 92 Octane...

BadMoJo · 02-27-2003, 09:00 PM

$2.20/gal for 91

*AceInHole* · 02-27-2003, 09:02 PM

Octane - Price
87 - $1.719
88 - $1.799
89 - $1.819
91 - $1.899
93 - $1.919
Heh... there's a good selection around here.

I think sunoco or some place has 94 octane gas, but i forgot how much it is there.

Titan · 02-27-2003, 09:29 PM

Quit complaining.

Here in Canada we're paying the equivalent of about $2.14 US per gallon for REGULAR 87. Even though Canada is the 2nd largest exporter of oil to the US I believe.

In my opinion our cars get excellent mileage and we have nothing to complain about.

thelinja · 02-27-2003, 09:33 PM

$1.949/gallon of 93

xS1LV1Ax · 02-27-2003, 11:08 PM

reg is about 1.65
Plus about 1.75
Premium (93) about 1.88 (non-sale day)
1.82 on sale day
and Sunoco 94 octane is 1.90 (as of last week in Arlington,VA)

moose · 02-28-2003, 07:51 AM

$0.88 a litre here in Canada. Its going up though.

christopher · 02-28-2003, 08:10 AM

I just got done traveling between MN and CO. I was pretty surprised to see some truck stops in between on I-80 still in the 1.50-1.60 range. At home in MN it is the same as WI, about 1.75/gallon regular...

We definetly have it easy compared to the rest of the world. I hope people burn their SUVs to protest. That would be fitting and hilarious.

Look on the bright side. If prices continue to rise then technology for sport compacts will be pushed and large gas guzzlers will be pushed off the road by poor economics.

p.s. I just lost my leaky injector status and became a member. How nice.

SimpleS14 · 02-28-2003, 09:31 AM

$1.73 - $1.83 for 93 octance

one mile can make a BIG difference......

Sorry. I'm pretty sure I was paying for the roads with my license plate tags, and renewal fees. If not.. what the hell are they paying for??

LOL! 91 isn't premium. 93 is premium, and 94 is super-premium.
How many other towns/cities have a Speedway that sells 100 octane gas? What about Nebraska people that have Methanol in their gasoline? What are the prices for the "exotics?"

Some places actually label 91 octance as premium. For those places it usually goes: 87, 89, 91
