Gas prices dropped what is the price of gas where you live?

[douride2]

I see the price of gas has dropped. Gas locally is $1.61 a liter & diesel is $2.10 a liter. For those in the U S it's 3.78 liters to a US gallon. So what are you paying for gas where you live?

[WindAtMyBack]

2.50 a gallon is the cheapest near me (66 per liter). Most places are around 2.55-2.60.

Most difference in price is due to taxes. The US has the second lowest tax in the world (Mexico is lowest). The US federal tax is only 17 cents a gallon. State tax average about 35 cents a gallon but varies from 17-67 cents a gallon. So in the US the state tax is the biggest difference from state to state.

Some countries have over $3 per gallon tax, mainly in Europe.

Yeah, that's true folks!

For instance, before the pesky pandemic, I used to work far from home and lived in a motel room in north central Connecticut (CT) only a few miles from the Massachusetts (MA) border. So, each weekend, many people drove right over the border from CT to MA and get gas.

I took this picture in September 2013.
The road is US Highway 5 and I am facing north and slightly west.
I am standing in the state of Connecticut on the east side of US-5.
That gas station is in the state of Massachusetts on the west side of US-5.
I'm about to cross the border and save 25 cents per gallon! Just like dozens of others from CT who travel to this gas station each weekend.

@abc3643
I have lived two places with something similar. I lived semi-near a native reservation which don't charge federal or state tax. People would go there to buy gas and cigarettes.

I have also lived in both Oregon and Washington, including a short while near the border. Washington had sales tax, but Oregon didn't. For large purchases people from Washington could save a lot of taxes by crossing into Oregon to buy it.

[abc3643]

Longview WA?

[WindAtMyBack]

@abc3643
No, it was the middle of nowhere in SE WA. I think it was about ten miles from the border.

[douride2]

Up here about 33% of the price is taxes.

[humanearth]

I just paid 2.50 a gallon and then I went in the ditch.

Not a happy camper right now

[douride2]

What are you doing in the ditch? Camping?

[humanearth]

Tried driving though my snow drifted drive-way (which is 35 feet wide and One Third of a mile long) and has a deep ditch on the west side going all the way down.

So when I pulled the car out. The rear bumper mount and bumper ripped out

https://ibb.co/FKNFvQW

Let hope you can see the picture of my driveway

[humanearth]

Of course it didn't work

[douride2]

I got an aerial view of a farm here. LOL

[humanearth]

lets try this

[humanearth]

That long drive-way is my road. I crop the photo kinda stupid, but you get the idea. Its freaking long

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Last time I gassed up it was $2.53 a gallon

[douride2]

You got gassed did you?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣

[abc3643]

I just filled up with 87 Octane regular unleaded gasoline.
The price was 2.779 US$ / gallon.
In metric, that would be 0.73413 US$ / liter.

[douride2]

I haven't seen prices that low in like forever.

[abc3643]

I live in rural Missouri, USA. Taxes are low here although our sales taxes are high.

[douride2]

Here taxes account for about 33% of the cost.

[AmeerX]

You guys are lucky. You have good per Capita income levels

[abc3643]

@AmeerX Not in my ZIP Code...
This is redneck MAGA territory where graduating high school and having your trailer in the end of trailer park away from the meth heads are major accomplishments.

[AmeerX]

Whylere do you live? Don't worry about it though, 🤠

[abc3643]

@AmeerX I live in rural Missouri about an hour from Saint Louis.

[AmeerX]

Oh Saint Louis. I heard of that place from C&C Red Alert 2.
Sorry got excited 😊.
Oh you are a lucky man if you live in a rural area. He who controls food controls the economy 💪.
Well, how much per Capita do you have? I hope it is better than 1300 USD 😬

[Farmerboy2]

You must be in Canada.

[AmeerX]

@Farmerboy2 1300 USDannually. My friend from my country live in Pakistan but not me )).

[Farmerboy2]

@AmeerX I meant douride

[abc3643]

@AmeerX My wife and I do OK, probably better than most people in our area.

[AmeerX]

Alright, Canada

[douride2]

@Farmerboy2 Yep I'm in Ontario.

[AviatorTom]

My local gas station has been selling gas for US$2.99 a gallon for the past 3 weeks. That would be about US$0.80 per liter.

[douride2]

Where do you live?

[AviatorTom]

Southeast US

[goaded]

<Hulk>Puny US gallon.</Hulk>

EUR 1.69/litre for Diesel this evening. It's been well over 2EUR.

[douride2]

Still pretty much $2.10 a liter here.

[OlderAndWiser]

I paid $2.74 per gallon last night when I filled up.

[douride2]

DANM

[OlderAndWiser]

It was at Costco.

[douride2]

No Costco around these parts. LOL

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Station Prices · $3.75 · $3.74 · $3.74 · This is Sheetz in Monongahela PA USA

[douride2]

I wish our gas was so cheap.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yeah, I know it took a long time for it to get that low.

[LiamSawyer]

So thst would be the equivalent of $1.339 Canadian per liter

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@LiamSawyer Yeah, I would think so.

[douride2]

But it sure goes up quick don't it.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes it does

[HighValue]

I am in California Central Valley and gas is $5.60 per gallon.

[LiamSawyer]

The equivalent would be $2.00 Canadian per liter

[douride2]

Holy cow?

[LiamJHayden]

Around $4.30/gallon where I live. Prices are super high in many places due to taxes. I know in France something like 60% of the price is taxes.

[douride2]

Here about 33% of the price of gas is taxes.

[LiamJHayden]

Wow, your price is definitely high. I think in the USA we are accustomed to lower prices because the nation has historically produced so much of its own petrol.

[LemiaOfThunder]

I can't personally drive as I've been labelled Lieabilty

[douride2]

Have you been running through my old questions?

[LemiaOfThunder]

a few lol

[Iron_Man]

About $3.00 dollars a gallon for regular unleaded

[douride2]

North south east west?

[Iron_Man]

South Miami Florida

[AmeerX]

1 USD for gasoline petrol, and 1.11 dollar for Diesel. Our per Capita income is just 1300 USD yearly

[bananathunder]

$1300.00 yearly?

[AmeerX]

@bananathunder yes 1300USD.
Why are you surprised 🙄

[bananathunder]

it must be very inexpensive to live where you do. I make almost 3X that much a month and just get by

[AmeerX]

@bananathunder actually, we had a lot of inflation and no you don't know how inexpensive it is till you get here 🤣. Most population unfortunately lives hand to mouth but with pride💪.
we have an agrarian economy with some industrialization so we are not starving thankfully.
The main issue is we have our electricity cost increase 2 folds in a year. Fuel prices too and our food and consumer inflation rate increased too.
Luckily, we are surviving because we don't get that much snow in our country where the majority population centres are. Otherwise we would be fucked up like Ukraine. water stress is a problem though but we are mitigating it with solar energy. The sun is our best friend now ))

[douride2]

Must be hard making a go of it?

[AmeerX]

Yeah, 65% people say they want to leave the country. I wish it too but I don't think I can live in a snow country. I will die of cold. Even now my feet are freezing 🥶

[Nik1hil]

Not sure about gas..

But petrol is 112 Rs/ liter so..

1.35$ / Liter for petrol here!..

[goaded]

In America petrol is called gas. I don't know why.

[Nik1hil]

@goaded gas is a state of any liquid that is above its boiling point!..

[goaded]

I know. They're strange. I'm sure there's a reason for it (petrol does evaporate quite easily, perhaps that's it).

[Nik1hil]

@goaded Yeah, and engine uses atomized petrol, which is basically forcing petrol to become gaseous without crossing boiling point. .

[goaded]

I looked it up: "'Petrol' is a shortened term for 'Petroleum Distillate' which is what it is. Gas is a shortened version of 'Gasoline' was a trade name for Petroleum Distillate used in the US. Diesel is the fuel used in Diesel engines which were invented by Rudolf Diesel so unsurprisingly it is called diesel in germany!"

[Nik1hil]

@goaded Oh, so Gas, came from Gasoline, and then they name the fuel tank as gas tank, so what goes in Gas-tank, will be GAS.
Nice Research man

[douride2]

Same thing we call it gasoline. gas for short.

[Likes2drive]

$3.09 per gallon in Long Island New York USA

[bolverk]

UK Gasoline prices Gallon
GBP 5.905
USD 7.302

[Pudsmucker]

I forgot how well our country is off. Looking at the price of gas in Canada and in the United States. In the United States we are paying $68 a liter. Or $2.60 for a gallon of gasoline. That is in the Kansas City metro area.

[nawtee_me]

2.38 a gallon for gas and diesel is 3.80 I believe.

[AnUglyBarnacle]

USD $2.84 / gallon when I refueled yesterday.

[Apple1996]

I got it for 2.55 the other day

[douride2]

I could only dream of that.

[LiamSawyer]

I paid $1.33/liter for regular gas the other day.

[douride2]

What area do you live in?

[LiamSawyer]

I live in the GTA

[Nikki1989]
