Adjam5 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Passed a Mobil station this am leaving for work at 5am...it read $3.65(reg unleaded)...on the way home it read $3.75. Are we spoiled being used to cheaper gas prices> OR as such large consumers we should have a larger discount and pay less? With everything going up up up people have no more wiggle room to live. I gas up in New Jersey(bordering state) and pay about 40 cents less per gallon. I paid 3.24 for 89 this very morning, could have have paid 3.12 for regular. But I get better mileage with the 89.

ruttinbuc Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Same here. It was 3.19 this morning and 3.25 tonight. I say get the oil and food commodities off of the stock exchange. The speculation on what isn't counted as inflationary is ridiculous. Time for looking out for people instead some fat pocket. Amazing how fast BP turned back to the black after the Gulf spill isn't it? Puts the kabosh on any extra curricular activity fo sure..

Shaun_300 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Up again this morning here. It's at $1.20/liter or $4.54/gal now. It's as high as $1.25/liter or $4.73/gal in the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 1.24 a liter here today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBow Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 1.24 a liter here today And just to keep things in perspective: 1 X US gallon = 3.79 litres The Cdn Loonie hit $1.03 US today. Ergo, 1 X US gallon of gas in Canada costs ($1.24 X 3.79) x $1.03 = $4.84 US TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Didn't realize the Canadian dollar was that high, I was doing my conversions equal dollar to the US dollar. Still $1.199/liter when I came home just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBow Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 And whenever you exchange any currency, whether it be at a bank teller or via debit or credit card, the banks always nail you with another 2.5% admin fee. So in reality, if you're using US currency in Canada (today), it will cost you $1.055 US for every Loonie. TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Gas here in NW Alabama was $3.09 and a few days later it had jumped to $3.47. It will be $4.00 by Spring Break.:angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yes sir you are correct. A recession? I am thinking more along the lines of a full blown depression! Like it or not, make all the excuses you want, the fact remains we are dependant on oil in this country and it isn't going to change anytime soon. When will our leaders figure this out and help us fix the problem? Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I sense the beginning of a recession. $3.26 for regular today recession?? what are you talking about? didn't you hear obama claim the recession is over and recovery has started, 21 months ago??? pay attention, man! the sad thing is, that was true. the fact is, this is life as the new normal. the liberals have us right where they want us, and going down. it's calles socialism. and let's not forget that obama said he's comfortable with rising gas prices and expects $12.00 a gallon gas before long. his words, not mine. so, how's that hope & change thing working out for you?

TBow Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 4 to 5 months ago I bought a diesel powered pickup, as diesel was selling here at $99.9/litre, $0.05 less per litre than gasoline prices and mpg ratings for diesel were considerably more than it's gasoline counterparts. 4 months later, and diesel is now at $1.25/litre (a 25% hike at the pumps in 1/3 of a year) and gasoline is $1.20/litre (gas is now $0.05 less than diesel). Gasoline has risen 12.5% in the same period that diesel has hiked 25%. I was always led to believe that diesel was a less refined fuel than gasoline, so I expected that it cost less to produce. Just think at how hard hit the trucking industry is getting nailed with these kind of price inceases for diesel fuel. $1.25/L = $5.69 cdn/Imp gal = $5.00 US/US gal (@ 1.055 exchange rate) TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
