Just filled up at BJ's (like a Costco or Sam's) here in Atlanta and the price for 93 oct was just $2.69! I filled my tank for just under $50!

 

It's about the same here. What irks me is that regular is $2.49 here, premium $2.77, but diesel was $2.43 at the same station

 

Just filled up at Shell, $2.80 per gallon.
Set me back $24.05 (tried to stop at 24 but she clicked over to 24.01 so I rounded up the pump)
Drove 127.3 miles, took 8.562 gal, so that is 14.86 mpg.

I fill up every Tues as at my Shell premium is $.06 off per gallon.

 

its about $3.12 for premium here in Chicago. Were ranked nations most expensive gas.

 

LOL..........you guys reallly make me laugh..........

So at todays exchange rate I could fill my truck for £31...........as opposed to the £85-90 I currently pay..........which equates to $136 to fill it........

Once again, your fuel is BLOODY CHEAP............Don't ever think otherwise!!!!

 

We may have less expensive fuel but you have diesel Rovers over there - we'll call it an even trade.

Here around Denver premium is $2.85 give or take a few pennies depending on where I fill up. Unfortunately the Shell station by the house is one of the most expensive places but the truck runs best on Shell.

 

You have a valid point, but even your diesel is cheap to !!..............The thing is if fuel was as cheap over here, the sales of diesel cars would plummit ten fold......The development and sales of diesels only increased becuase petrol was so expensive, and ever since then Diesel fule is now more expensive than petrol, yet cheaper to produce............. Dont get me wrong, I love my Diesel Disco, but I would happily have a 4.6 V8 to burn about in, but over here its just not ecomnomical to do that

ANYONE can afford to run a V8 on those prices.

The whole US scenario ref fuel is kinda crazy.

You want cheaper fuels, (as we all do), yet the country "in general" builds monster V8's in most cars and the have been guzzling away for YEARS on it............no wonder its running out.

We get screwed to the bone now over here on anything over 2 litres, even more so on diesels or petrols that emmit over 225g / km, yet over there you guys (not a personal attack btw) guzzle it like its going to last for another 100 years!! and its DAM cheap to do it!!!

Kind of annoying really.................if you see my point.

 

I completely understand what you're saying UP. We American are very spoiled. Some of the cars they are building (or were, who knows what will happen with the current auto industry) are just ridiculous. Take the Dodge Challenger for example. In the SRT-8 trim, it is nothing more than a gas guzzling throw back to a better time in automotive history. Does anyone really need a 2500 pound car with 425hp, no. But it sure is a fun ride. Even gas guzzler taxes that get higher every year aren't stopping Americans from buying fuel hogs.

 

And lets not forget about the V10's that you can get for your pick up or SUV.
Who in the hell needs a V10? If you need that much power get a diesel.
Soccer mom does not need a Ford Excursion with the V10 to take the kids to school.

 

I have to disagreee with you mate, wages here are so low that if you make minumun wage you cant afford to by gas, pay rent and feed your family too.
