How much at the pump?
-
wow! What do you drive? I keep my Tahoe pretty well beat up, but that's because I take it off-road on the weekends :D I love to climb sandstone. I keep a nice.. uhm... "protective" coat of mud on it. You know to protect people from seeing it's actual color, but that's pretty common thing to do where I live.

I remember back to the days when I had to go to the airport to get fuel for my 65 vette. It needed high octane leaded gas and it simply was not available on the street. if I used any thing in it below 90 octane it knocked and missfired at low rpm. Those were the days.

How much does it cost to fill your tank when on empty?
On my car, the tank contains 62l, so 62€. Generally I fill it with 55l (I don't wait it's totally empty), with that I can travel between 600 to 800km, according to the kind of travel, urban or extra-urban.

Makes me wish that i could be a dog, When i see the price that you pay.

The thread below made me curious. How much do you pay at the pump? I pay $1.45 per gallon which ends up being around $40 to fill my tank (guess what type of vehicle I own). [Edit] 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litre [/Edit]
I paid 79.9p per litre last week. That is GB£3.025 for one US Gallon. Or in US$5.66 per US Gallon. Or €1.20 per litre.

Shog9 wrote: $76 Yep, for the moment. The €/$ ratio is quiet volatile. That's why diesel engines are so popular there in France. Diesel fuel costs 0.75€/l (less taxes), and diesel engines are much more economic (the average consumption on european diesel cars is between 3 to 6l for 100km - 17 to 33 km/l) Shog9 wrote: How much time (on average) does that last you? When I'm not moving, it lasts between 1 and 2 weeks. Except when I'm visiting my parents, I need two fill-up(s?) for the week-end :sigh:

Usually it's cheaper in Reading than Basingstoke, so you might want to look around Ian!

It's probably about $6.30 a gallon US The octane is 96 unleaded I think a big problem is that you have to take the fuel type into account. Like in some 3rd world places gasoline is worse than kerosene, or in Brazil it is mixed with alcohol and water Regardz Colin J Davies

I'm paying about $1.80/gallon here in South Florida. And to think that a couple of years ago it was around $1.25! Someone's getting very rich! :mad: Regards, Alvaro

Jeez! You complain at paying $1.80 per US gallon! Think about the poor sods in Scotland paying $5.66 per US gallon. And if you were to go into the Highlands of Scotland you can add upto another 10p per litre (so that makes a total of $6.37 per US Gallon) Alvaro Mendez wrote: Someone's getting very rich! Yes, the UK Treasury, in Scotland's case. During the fuel tax price protests in the UK and number of interesting statistics came to light. The Government tried to throw some of the blame at the oil companies pointing at their profit figures. It appeared that the oil companies only make about 1% profit on sales at service stations.

I'm paying $1.769 per gallon of 93 octane. I think 87 octane is ~$1.569 but my car runs like crap on the lower octane fuel (it has a supercharger). Brad Jennings Sonork: 100.36360 AIM: hongg99

ColinDavies wrote: I think a big problem is that you have to take the fuel type into account. Definitely. I see a lot of people posting prices for 95+ octane and I've never seen above 93 octane at the pump here in the US. I have seen one place that sells 114 octane racing fuel but no street legal vehicle can run it (at least not well anyway). Brad Jennings Sonork: 100.36360 AIM: hongg99

When I was last in Brazil, There were normally two bowsers "Alcool" and "Gasoline" From information from people in the oil industry there I was told that the gasoline often gets some blend of alcohol added, especially when there were production problems. At least in the remote parts of Brazil where I was, the consistency of fuel quality was a real big problem. With newer imported vehicles coming into Brasil I have heard they have had to upgrade fuel alternatives. Regardz Colin J Davies
