BTW, when I was at the Arizona-California border the other day, the gas prices on the Arizona side were ~ 3.60, and once we crossed the border, they were ~4.80.

So I just gased up today and I was wrong, it's 132.1/lt. Got the 1 and the 2 mixed up.
Title: Re: Gas Prices
Post by: Video_Master on May 01, 2008, 05:22:50 AM
is that 132.1 dollars or what?  I am not up on Canadian money.

Also I found the following conversion.

1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.785 411 784 liter

so my tank in my truck being 36 gallons would be 136.274 824 22 liter.   

That just does not make sense to me unless I am confusing something.

I burn through at least a tank a week if not more because of my summer job, last summer I put 24K miles (38,624 kilometers for metric users) on my car from March to August, (and the lease allows for 18k a year). I am gonna have to try and cut back this year if it gets to 4/gal as predicted. It's at 3.69 here in Ann Arbor/ Metro Detroit.

Canadian $/liter/re ==> US $/gal

132.10*.038=
$5.02/gal   (CAD)

Stop crying about the gas, none of you reached over $4 dollars yet.... :-D
 I pay as of Today $4.19 gallon. I put $100.00 in my truck and I get just a little over a half tank. Maybe I try to fool myself by not filling it up, cause then I really don't know how much it's really is killing me. Time for me to get a bike.....

Gas Prices in chicago:
$4.19
$4.27
$4.39

I am thinking of buying one of these to monitor gas consumption/monitor driving habits:

http://www.scangauge.com

pulls data from a cars OBD2 port and tells you EXACTLY how much gas you are using at a given time. Supposedly helps correct driving habits that wastes gas....

thoughts?

It's 4.05 here

Just a little insider info: I've been told that gas will not fall below $4 a gallon until mid 2009.

I've told some of you the REAL reason prices are high but for those who I have not:

First - dont blame the oil folks, it isnt their fault. Not the Saudis, Iranians or Iraqis...It's the good 'ol US of A and our lending institutions which cause our pain at the pump.

                                                                    WHY?

Oil is traded world wide in US dollars - not euros or other currencies. Our dollar value is weak (very) and it takes more to buy the same barrell of oil than two years ago because it (dollar) has lost value.

Why has the dollar decreased? Thank our lending instutions and companies like TD Waterhouse and GMAC, who will give anyone and their dog credit. Notice all the credit card and loan offers that are out there? And they will give anyone credit no matter what their past history is. Watch a car dealers commercials - Everyone rides! Bad credit, no credit - no problem! We have special financing options....What they fail to mention is the outrageous interest rates, fees and such. A $20,000 car may end up costing $35,000 with special financing. They love to see those kind of people and thats why they go out of their way to cater to them. It's more lucrative for them because they make their money off the jacked up intrest rate. This not only applies to cars but mortgages too...What happens when someone defaults or is repo'd? Somebody has to eat the loss and it is eventually carried onto you and me, the consumer - Hence a weak dollar and higher prices for everything...

Class dismissed.

nothing wrong with an ARM, you just need to know how to deal with that kind of mortgage.
