what are paying in gas prices??

[IloveGSDs]

$3.29 here in Shreveport for the cheapest stuff. I put midgrade in my vehicle so it is about 3.39 and I spent $89 the other day to fill up. Ouch!!!!!!!!!

I realized there is a US gallon. I used the wrong conversion. We are paying $5.10/gallon.

I checked our tax. In 2008, taxes in Canada represented on average 35% of the pump price versus 20% in the U.S. Taxes include a Federal Excise Tax of 10.0¢ for Regular, 4.0¢ for Diesel and Provincial Tax.
Here in Nova Scotia we pay 15.5 cents/litre in tax plus the provincial sales tax of 13%.

Correct, however, I was replying to if, and I stress IF the government decided that things were so terrible with the oil supply that they did as Selzer wondered and mandate a four day work week.

It was $1.559 per litre here (in Australia) on Thursday last week and is now $1.459 today. It is expected to be $1.60 here very soon. We don't even get our fuel from your sources as we produce it here, but the fuel companies are keeping parity for their own reasons and fuel tax charges are high.

I work part time 5 hours a day, 4 days a week and 1/3 of my wage is going in fuel as there are presently no jobs closer to where I live - this job is reliant on orders and is not able to be changed to longer hours meaning less days. It is almost costing me to work as interest rate hikes mean mortgage interest rates are well above 9% and rising.

In England at the minute Im paying £1.09- £1.15p a gallon (I think) but on the news today they said by June/July it could be as high as £1.50-£1.70 as the strikes are on here again..

Shocking..In Turkey where we go to our villa its half the price it is here now..

We are paying $3.60/gallon.
I drive an old Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Usually get 10-11 mpg but with the E10 fuel I am getting around 9 or less. When I bought my truck gas was around $.80/gallon. So yeah, having a heart attack every time I go by the station.
Have not even gone to schutzhund training lately because that takes a tank there and back.

Is ethanol really that much better if you get lower gas mileage?

I feel for you, but it's good to hear from others worse off then ourselves. Here we're 'only' at $1.22 per litre.

For those in the US (assuming you're used AUD for your prices) that works out to about 5.50/gallon!!!

This morning in suburban New York: $4.02.

Good question. We talked to a guy at the car dealership about it a few weeks ago, and he seems to think in the future when there is a higher demand for it the price might come down, but for now it is not much of a bargain.
