They are saying now that CA imports more Iraqi oil than any other State. Mainly because Iraqi oil is "cleaner".

With any luck the price of Oil for the US will drop considerably in April.

The problems in Venezuela are having an impact on gas prices.
....Lost oil from Venezuela's ongoing oil strike, strong consumer demand and U.S. inventories at their lowest levels since the late 1980s have all combined to keep oil prices strong, said John Person, a financial analyst at Infinity Brokerage Services.

East Anglia, England -- Gas station up the street
71 pence per liter which translates to (given current exchange rates) about $4.59 per gallon. Good thing gas is cheaper on base. :)
-
91 octane ---- $1.38
But don't worry, I hear chimpys going to pray to jebus to lower the price soon.
-
$2.10/gal for premium unleaded
-
1.74 for the cheap stuff on Long Island.
I'm hoping we go get that Canuk field... since the middle east stuff will be glowing in the dark pretty soon.
Assimilate Froggie Canuhduh!
-
87 to 89 cents a litre for 87 octane, I don't even want to look at the price 94 or even 91 octane!
-
1.55 for regular
and of course all Oregon prices quoted are for 'full-service'.
how much do the rest of you pay per gallon if you don't have to pump it?
-
ROFL
I haven't had someone pump my gas since I was in Oregon last May.
It just don't happen down here.

That's Imperial Gallon, what's difference between Imp and US gallon?
-
The Imperial gallon is better, obviously :D

LOL - Oregonian nannying. ;)
US Gallon = 80% of Imperial gallon. Still 8 pint to a gallon, but a US pint is 16oz, and an Imp. pint is 20oz.

1.1 Euro/liter, cannot do the math for the gallon (it's 4.something liters?)
-
$ 3.58 per gallon in the Netherlands :mad:
-
87 and 91 octane? uhmm... are octanes same there as they are here or are those somekind of "imperial octanes"?
My cars engine would blow up if I'd fill the tank with 91 octane.
95 is the cheap watermelon here (your regular?) with ~1.1eur/litre (4,16eur per U.S Gallon AFAIK) and 98 costs 10-15 cents more per liter.
-
Nexx, I don't know anything about Imperial gallons vs US gallons. I was just looking at the gas station where the price was listed as 71p/liter. So that math was assuming 3.8 liters/gallon and an exchange rate of 1.7 $/£.
(before anyone gets confused as to why I'm responding to this, check Athena's sig)
-
1 euro is about 1.07$, US Gallon is 3,79 liters
So here in finland 1 gallon of 95 oct would be ~3,9$

Thanks you've answered my question!
Imperial Gallon = 4.5 litres
US Gallon = 3.8 litres
Therefore it's about $4.58 per US gallon in the UK.

I paid $ 1.89 for 93
Orlando..

Historically, America had cars with large V8 engines with relatively low compression ratio. For that type of engine, a low octane fuel will suffice. European engines have always been smaller but get their power by being higher revving and more finely tuned with high compression ratio which needs a higher octane fuel.
-
Don't believe that they use the same octane rating method in every country.
we have had pruduction cars with as high as 13/1 compression.. a lot of U.S. cars are now about 10/1. Low compression was an emissions thing in the mid/late 70's up into the 80's.. newer induction and computers have allowed compression to creep steadily upward since then.

Gas prices are on a fast climb, up 13
percent in the past month in Washington
state, 9 percent nationally. The quick
increase raised the eyebrows yesterday of
the American Automobile Association
(AAA), the nation's largest motorist group.
"There is no shortage of gasoline, there is no shortage of crude," said Geoff
Sundstrom of the AAA's Chicago office. "I think we're getting very close" to price
gouging, he said.
Filling a typical 16-gallon tank today exceeds $20, with the national average
price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas at about $1.60. Washington's average
is slightly lower, at $1.56, but many pumps in the Puget Sound area are
pushing $1.70, about 50 cents more than they were last year.
"What we're seeing is the prices are going up very quickly in anticipation that
something might happen in the Middle East," said Janet Ray, spokeswoman for
AAA Washington. "The president's State of the Union message had a major
reference to (the threat of war in) Iraq."
Ray says she hasn't seen such a steep and rapid jump in prices since the
weeks between Presidents Day and Easter of 2000. The state's highest
recorded price for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel was $1.74 in October of that
year.
Gasoline prices in February usually aren't as high as they are this year because
people tend to drive less in the cold weather, Sundstrom said.
"We see nothing in the overall supply-and-demand picture to justify an increase
of that magnitude," he said. "It really appears to be little more than wholesalers
and retailers trying to anticipate the possible replacement costs of inventory" if
war with Iraq breaks out and shipments of Persian Gulf crude oil are disrupted,
he said.
But the American Petroleum Institute, an oil-industry trade group, said gasoline
prices merely reflect world petroleum markets.
In addition to the growing uncertainty in the petroleum-rich Middle East, a
two-month strike in Venezuela has slowed exports from there and a cold winter
in the eastern United States has drained supplies of heating oil.
"It's supply and demand," said Chris Kelley, spokesman for the institute.
"Crude-oil prices are extremely high, higher than they've been in an awfully long
time. And crude-oil prices are bringing gasoline prices upward."
Meanwhile, gasoline demand "has been growing steadily over the course of the
past year," Kelley said. Implied U.S. demand averaged about 8.76 million
barrels a day in January, up 2 percent from the same month in 2002, institute
data showed.
The demand is not coming from Corinne Woodward, 26, of north Seattle, who
traded in her gas-guzzling sport-utility vehicle for a four-door sedan, saving up to
$15 on a full tank.
"I loved that car, but that's a big reason I traded it in," Woodward said. "I look at
(gas prices) every day and it's just going up and up and up

LOL - Oregonian nannying.

nothing to do with nannying, we just figure if you have to stand in the rain and pump gas you should be getting paid for it. it gives the kids a job so they don't have to steal car stereos. and the oil companys are going to charge as much as they can get away with anyway. we have found that you don't save any money with self-serve, they just use the self-serve option as an excuse to charge extra to have someone pump it.
with no self-serve we have comparable or cheaper prices than all near states (prices are about $.03 cheaper in Vancouver but are at or above oregon prices once you get up into washington. ), and thats their self serve price. you pay another $.30 or more to get it pumped for you in those states.
so we see it like this. if you want the option to pump it yourself you are going to have to pay a little extra for it, and then a lot extra if you want the same level of service you have now.

Come on Apathy... beatle is just trying to get a rise out of ya. He's been pretty good lately, but he reverts back to it once in a while. If you fuel the flame... he's right back in it again.
He knows its a stupid statement... he just doesn't realize why he can't help but say it.

you gotta give him a little nibble every now and then. otherwise he may go fish'n somewhere else, and I kinda enjoy watching some of his fire-fights develop

.81 cents a gallon

Then again we buy in bulk and sale is limited to private customers only. :D

Paid $1.65 this morning for mid grade, paid %1.55 just 2 days ago for the same thing. That's the most I've ever paid for gas. Part of it is because of winter, but I think it would be around $1.40 or $1.45 if not for the looming war....
-
Bodhi
that must not include the road tax. we can get cheaper fuel if you have an ag license but they put dye in it and it's a huge tax evasion fine if you are found to have dye in your fuel in a non-ag vehicle.

$1.79 in Milwaukee

How many grades do you have available?
We used to have 2 Star, 3 Star and 4 Star petrol but they all changed to just 4 Star in the 1980s.
4 Star used to be 98 RON (Octane)
Lead Replacement Petrol (LRP) is still 98 RON
Unleaded is 95 RON
Super Unleaded is 98 RON

In Britain, wherever you see the star rating for fuel, there's a reference to BS 4040 - British Standard. Do your own Google search for BS 4040 - it throws up some interesting stuff.
MiniD = AKDejaVu? Ah, that would explain it. :) But why the handle change? Apathy: Can't see what Oregon rain has to do with anything. I would have thought there were wetter states.

let me reply to this with the story of a California business woman who came up to Portland for a week.
so she hearing her whole life how beautiful it is in Portland she decides to take a week and see the city.
on her first day she decided to go hit a couple of art galleries in NW Portland. but it was raining all day that day so she skipped it.
the next day she thought she could go and check out the rose gardens up on the hill. but the rain ruined that for her too.
and so it went for the rest of the week. every day she would plan something new and every day the rain ruined her plans, she ended up never leaving her room.
quickly her week was over and she was in a foul mood standing in the rain in front of the hotel, waiting for a cab to take her back to the airport.
she was miserable, she hated this town, she'd wasted her vacation, and she had to take it out on somebody.
just then a kid walks by and she turns yells sarcastically "does it EVER stop raining in this damn place"
"how would I know lady I'm only 12"
p.s. check out the Portland Rain Festival - August 1st thru July 29th

There is a different kind method of octane rating measurement in the US. There are two different types of test called RON(Research Octane Number) and MON(Motor Octane Number). MON test is done on higher engine load and gives a lower value than a RON test. In Europe RON number is printed on the pump, but in the US, an average of both is used (RON+MON)/2.

Thats dirt cheap! It's not even taxed here and it still costs $5/gallon... And it will soon double when they start taxing it.:( No wonder people are converting their planes to run on automotive fuel.
