Gasprice in Euros per liter.
As you can see I get a discount of 6.8 eurocents per liter. ($0.296/Gallon)

Super Plus is 93 Octane.

Still $4.60/US Gallon for 90 Octane.

(1.057x3.785412x1.15)= $4.60

Hey English Adam, you seem envious of our "mainland Europe" gas prices. How high is it in England?

I filled up w/87octane @ Wal-Mart for $1.25 and passed an EXXON truck stop where diesel is $1.27/gal. Enjoy it while we can! Canyon Lake, Texas is between San Antonio & Austin, Texas

Sure. Yeah. The price of crude and the refining process jumped so dramatically that a 30 cent jump was justified. Show it to me on paper and I'll buy some of that swamp land you're selling.

I love living in Georgia, where gas prices are "relatively" cheap compared to the rest of the US

Gas price in England is higher but I think EnglishAdam was referring to the first poster, I think.

He was...

lets keep a watch for each other and post note only the cheapest places but also when prices seem to start rising. that way we start filling our tanks with the cheaper before they have a chance to jack us. heres a tip; only put 10 bucks in at a time..heres the math...say you fill up,now you,ve got gas worth say 1.40 a gal. plus you,ve got all that wieght...the next day the price drops 3 cents a gal...could have saved almost a buck... 10 Bucks everyother day will keep you in the best price range

Your right, it DON'T change that fast. Oil companies and/or the gas stations are screwing us the best they can. Gas here for 87 is $1.49. WTF, while crude was falling like a prom dress on prom night gas prices stayed about the same around here, very little change, a few penny's if that.

However, as soon as crude price goes up on the market, they jack up the ol' gas prices and say something stupid like "Crude prices have risen and therefore we HAVE to raise prices"

Next time it happens you watch, when crude price goes up so does gas price within a day or two. When crude falls like a fat lady seeing nothing but diet candy, it takes a LONG time for gas prices to fall.
