Gas price thread..........

[dolanbaker]

Just back from Barcelona, Spain. Gas was about 1.80 euros per liter, or roughly equivalent to about 7.20 euros per gallon----The Euro is worth about 1.34 right now, so that comes to about $9.65/gallon USD.

No wonder lots of people ride 80 mpg scooters there.

The Average Price in Ireland is currently €1.65.9, Irish prices can be tracked on http://www.pumps.ie/index.php

Is that all!!!

Just hit $4.17/gal. here in MI today. We're just 11 cents away from an all time local high.

We're still at $3.89 here in Maine, and until I read this thread I thought it was expensive. Now I don't feel so bad.

[careinke]

Saw $4.25 today.

[rshizzle]

Dropped to $3.74 this afternoon here in SE Ohio.

[pfreyre]

Regular fell and then shot up about 20 cents to $3.89 over the last 2 days.

$1.42/litre here. That's 5.38/US gallon.

There are ppl lined up at the borders every weekend waiting to get across so they can fill up their tanks and fridges (milk and cheese being faves).

Unleaded petrol here in Denmark recently hit DKK 13.50 a litre, which works out at about $9.50 a US gallon. That's up about a Krone from the beginning of 2012. Expensive stuff...

[Revi]

We just hit $4 here in Maine. I think that's the new price. Most people around here drive around in full sized trucks and SUV's, so it's bound to hurt them a lot. We drive a small truck, an Echo and an electric car, so it doesn't affect us as much. Even so it hurts to have to fork over $40 to fill up nowadays.

First the massive Chevron refinery explosion in Richmond, now the Exxon Mobil refinery in Torrance has been taken offline:

Gas prices leap past $5 in Calif.

Some Los Angeles-area gas stations shut off their pumps because of rationing by suppliers, and they displayed makeshift signs explaining that the shortages were not their fault. Drivers formed long lines at stations that did have gas; some stations raised prices to more than $5 a gallon for regular gasoline.

And as usual, the gas thieves are at it again:

California sees record gas prices as police deal with fuel bandits

California's average gasoline price set a record Saturday of $4.614 for a gallon of regular, up 12.8 cents overnight. Several service stations are charging more than $5 a gallon for regular gasoline.

Gasoline prices skyrocketed after the Exxon Mobil refinery in Torrance was knocked offline Monday by a power outage. Other lingering refinery and pipeline problems also contributed to the soaring costs at the pump.

Last month, police in the Antelope Valley were looking for thieves who stole gas from car and truck rental agencies.

Now, Police in Roseville are looking for gasoline thieves who struck two stations, taking nearly 1,000 gallons of the increasingly expensive fuel.
