gas prices! post your current regular gas price.

Hey Guys,

Here in Tacoma, WA the cheapest I saw was 2.40$ and that was at a ARCO station. For some reason ARCO stations are always the cheapest but there not everywhere. I suspect we might see the price go under $2.00 very soon, that would rock!

I just wish food prices would come down as well. Be nice for a change.

Gasoline in Europe is much more expensive than in the US because of our high taxes.
On the one hand it sucks that is cost us so much money, but on the other hand it makes people aware that is almost a sin to burn this precious commodity just for fun. Oil is running out between 0-100, and we don't have the faintest idea how to replace it!
High gas prices is a way of getting people aware of the consequenses of fast burning the oil.

What do you think of it?

You are right.

A german liter of gas was ~ €1.50 (= $ 2.25 = $8.51 per Gallone) half of it was tax only
The biggest rip off is our own government (€0.89 per liter) , 2nd place broker - push price up from €1.32 to almost €1.60 (per liter!)

...but we don´t have any substitued yet and they know it




Similar to our water price. When water was short a couple of years ago, everybody started saving water.
What happend?

The water became more expansive as before. They sold less as everyone reduced consumption but producing costs were the same => increasing price. Own goal



If I need to drive to work every day, I have to do it. Doesn´t matter if the gas is free of charge or €5 per liter. I have no choice (and "they" know it). If you will invent an engine, that will run with trash, waste, cow shit, water... the remains of your body will be found somewhere in a far eastern desert


We may run out of oil within the next X years. This fear keeps the price high. If it´s not the fear, it´s the OPEC

I´m a little bit "concerend" that Russia has 1/3 of oil/gas spouters and they use this profit to increase their armies, but we (Germany €1.3 billions ) pay them to "disarm" their trashed Navy...

To get to my work and back home I drive 648 km a week.
My car drives 14 km on 1 liter, so I need about 46 liters every week just to get to work. And I can't escape it, I have to earn my money at that place!
I wouldn't mind if oil prices would go down, but remember: the cheaper the oil, the faster we burn it.
if gasoline was 10 times the price it is now, we probably would drive in very energy-saving cars and put out the lights and airco's if we don't need them.
To be honest, I don't know.

At the highest it in the UK was £1.20 per litre for Petrol and £1.30 for Diesel, now its come down to about 93p some places a little higher, Diesel is about £1.00 to £1.10.

I did see a gas station out in a remote part of the Brecon Beacons (A Welsh National Park) for £1.45 for Petrol and £1.55 for Diesel. I think it was the only gas station for like 15 miles around.

In the USA and regions of Canada you can track gas prices by State and zip code.

Shoot over to Gas Buddy.Com for more information, charts, and statistics:

This is a new feature KMan could add to the new website profile: Gas Price.

Heck we MRE aficionados sometimes have to travel to pick up our gear
and have something to chew on. So knowing how much gas costs in another State can actually help you save money - maybe.

James Howard Kunstler :
"I hope you're enjoying the temporarily cheap prices at the gas pumps, because this is purely a function of the compressive deleveraging that is going on right now, as contracts and positions held in energy markets are being dumped by everybody and his uncle to raise cash to meet margin calls. My guess is that oil and its byproducts will become much more difficult to get in the months ahead - not just more expensive, but literally not available. The current falling price of oil has little to do with the real supply and demand fundamentals. It's simply a function of the markets being in near-total disarray. We're running on current inventory, and running it down. In the background, all kinds of peculiar and terrible things are happening. The entire apparatus of allocation and distribution is being thrown out of whack. The smaller tanker operations are going bankrupt. The "less-developed" nations are heading back to the 17th-century level of daily life without electricity. The oil exploration and development projects that were planned for hard-to-get oil netting $100-a-barrel minimum - in places like the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Siberia, and Central Asia - are being shelved, which means the world has less of a chance to offset coming depletions in old fields."

Don't know what you are doing, but I am saving Combat Rations for one month of food!

$ 1.98 here in OK below the $2 bucks threshold......

The problem with this is that people will go back to their old habits and become more complacent...instead of finding ways of saving more....
