Jelly2003 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 If you stop spending money on bottled water and drink it from the fountain instead, you neutralize the effect of the higher gas prices without sacrificing the quality of the water you drink. 586358713[/snapback] Thats so true! I cracked up when I read that. My local Shell (Wallsend, NSW, Au) currently has Unleaded at 115.9cpl (Australian cents per litre), which works out at US$0.897 per litre (US$3.39 per US Gallon). I usually use Premium Unleaded in my car which is probably 124.9cpl at the moment (US$3.62 per US Gallon). I dont think that protesting will fix anything, perhaps insead consider riding a bike and walking more. For a quick 30 seconds of fun here is Shell's Australian petrol price directory. You can use it to see current Australian prices measured in cpl (cents per litre). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Well that doesn't really apply here in PR, cause the water is so filled with chlorine that it basically comes out white. Not to mention the fact that it tastes like utter crap. 586358946[/snapback] No it's not, your head is filled with ideas from those water commercials.

j.nudd Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 its about 4 liters to the gallon right?$1.08CAD = .892934USD .892934x4 = $3.57USD per gallon? is that right? 586358942[/snapback] 3.8 Litres to a in a gallon. I work at a convienient/gas store. Our Unleaded is $2.42 and Super Unleaded is $2.38 in Kansas. 586358965[/snapback] I saw that for the first time today too... It makes no sense, but he's not lieing.

Black Hawk Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 No it's not, your head is filled with ideas from those water commercials. 586359201[/snapback] I think I would know how the water that I see and drink is like. Tap water in the US is like distilled water compared to the kind here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwoair23 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I dont think that protesting will fix anything, perhaps insead consider riding a bike and walking more. This is nothing against you personally whatsoever Jelly2003, but I notice this always comes up every time high gas prices are mentioned. Unless you live, work, and shop in the same small town/city, this is just not practical. I think the majority of people live at least 5 miles from their work, which makes it too far to ride a bike day in and day out, not to mention going shopping etc. I guess I just dont understand that response, (and I actually live in downtown Pittsburgh, PA, Im not out in the country).

Nashy Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Over here, a good price now days is 99.9cents/L. Our State government subsadises (spelling real bad) fuel aswell. I remember the good old days here in Brisbane. Paying a low 75cents/L I wish they'd come back :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yeah for those of us non in the Sunshine state as above, weve been paying between $1.10-1.30 for our fuel thats for 1litre, none of this gallon stuff here, so I think ya's are doing better than us. But yes our high fuel prices are a result of what would probably be some of the highest excise taxes in the OECD world I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatingFatMan Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Awww... You poor poor Americans and Canadians, my heart so bleeds for you... NOT!!! Try driving a car in the UK! At my local petrol station, regular unleaded is ?0.879 per litre At 3.79 litres to the US gallon, that 0.879 * 3.79 = ?3.33141 UKP At the current rate of 1 GPB = 1.80346 USD we have ?3.33141 = $6.00961!!! Now, quit yer complaining. About time you lot started spending a bit more on your fuel!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 that makes no sense. regular is more expensive than super? 586359012[/snapback] The company I work for gets super for cheaper, so he flips it out to customer for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey1138 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 How about this, instead for paying with oil with solgers and resources, fund alternative sources of fule. Hybread cars are a great idea but are not the long term solution. How about Hydrogen cars! The technology is there and its only getting better. And the best part, you can get Hydrogen from water with a simple process. http://www.h2cars.biz/artman/publish/index.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the topic, regular (what my car uses) is $0.55 a liter ($2.20 gallon) but it sucks cause it was around $0.44 ($1.76) before all these price hikes happened. :cry: Well atleast since the car is not fully mine, my parents still pay for the gas :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lchazl Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Here in the Tri-City area (Greater Vancouver) it is recently upwards of $1.10 / Liter. And here the gas prices can fluctuate hourly. Also there is a by-law here in Coquitlam that all gas stations are full serve only with no extra costs. I guess it creates more jobs, I don't mind it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tevage Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Yes the gas prices are getting friggen outragous (lucky i dont own a car, yet...) but here in new zealand it is 1.43 per litre that is expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
