Gas Price Change For You

[JunkyII]

Lets keep this non political.

I wasn't home for the rise in gas prices as some of you know so it was a complete shock when I first went to the pump. I was just wondering, since we have people around the world here...

What were you paying for gas a year ago for a fuel tank? What are you paying now? What type of vechicle? And where at?

In Maryland I was paying $50 for a fuel tank now its $60 for my Jeep....In New York(Where I'm stationed) it went from $55 to $70.

Filled the Wrangler (19 gallons) this morning for  ~ $65.

$3.87/gallon

I stuck the nozzle into my gas tank, bent over and cried "RAPE"

Honestly I don't know.  When my gas tank gets low I fill it up.  The price is always different and I don't get anything out of trying to find the cheapest gas.

Currently I'm paying $4.01/gal for 91 Octane in AZ. I don't remember what it was last year but two years ago it was about the same. In the time between it dropped to $3.85ish (I think) and now went back up to $4. Refueled a few days ago, I believe the total price was $56, but my tank was not completely empty.

Thankfully Jet A is not really rising, $5.75/gal.

Every station around here was at $3.95 on Wednesday and my 2003 Jaguar X-Type was almost on "E".  While on the way to my usual place I saw a Marathon at $3.65.  Filled up with 93 octane for $42.

That'll normally get me about 2 weeks since I live 5 miles from work. Average 22 miles per gallon.

Just paid $4.20 U.S./gallon for 93 octane.  A tank full (13 gallons) usually lasts between 475 and 500 miles.

What kind of moped do you own?

I'm hard-pressed to get 200 city/300 hwy

Just filled my Wrangler last night. $3.79/gallon. No idea the total cost, I rarely look. 14.7 gallons though. Mid grade is $3.94, and what I usually put in when it gets warmer. Yuo know the 4.0 penchant for knocking due to that uber lean condition they run in. Never in my life have I read an owners manual that said "knocking is normal" until this one.  

The badd part of my fuel is I drive 5 miles each way to work. I get about 12-13 miles per gallon, 16 if I travel. But I run offroad quite frequently in the summer, so back down to 11 mpg.

He's got a Mini Cooper. 

LOL, size does matter!

West coast of Canada here. Yesterday I paid $1.35/L. Sounds good till you multiply by US gallons,  (3.78). That comes to $ 5.10/gallon. Not so good. Thats for Regular.

I thought you were in Texas where not only do you have your own refineries, but oil fields to supply them as well.

Here in Jersey near me it ranges from $3.59- $3.65. But more as you near the turnpike. The highest I've seen it here was $3.83. And that was about a month ago.

We have our own refineries. But not much in the way of fields.

We're up to $3.89/gal here.  Last year this time it was about $3.50 or so.  It's been well above $3 for a long long time now!

I drive an '89 Festiva.  It's my dad's old car and the front is all busted up from him hitting a deer but she runs well, the hood works and the lights work so that's good enough for me!  I haven't cracked the 50MPG mark just yet but I came close averaging 48.8MPG on one tank.

It's hard to give a figure on how far I can get to a tank as I never wait until it's empty before filling it up (less of a sticker shock that way).  That's a moot point anyway considering every car has a different size tank.  500 miles to a tank sure sound nice but what if you have a 50 gallon tank?  Then not so much...

Is that for the Cobra?

[Skuzzy]

Is that for the Cobra?

LOL!  No.  I am still building the Cobra.  Been playing with some intake designs and various other intake/exhaust tidbits.  Still have a lot of work to do.  Hope to have it on the road in a year, or so.

If the Cobra gets over 15 miles to the gallon, I will be happy.

Yeah, I'm getting ready to start with the mid-grade again  

I'm about 8 miles each way to work with a lot of stop-n-go traffic, sometimes.  I'm seriously considering a moped
