There's a news cast story about gas prices as I read this thread. Average price in so cal is hovering at $4 a gallon. Yet demand is down. Go figure. We are pissed ($100 to fill my pick up which  I use only if necessary) but when I see prices paid over seas...YIKES. No wonder most of Europe is driving mini cars.

A lot of the price overseas / and in Canada is tax as well.  Price is still high either way.

if we want the economy to change it will have to come down otherwise .... same old same old...

I drive a big ol ford f-350 dually for my work truck and it has two tanks that I fill up every week to the tune of 160.00.  With the blistering average of 8mpg.

This is why I laugh and giggle when I fill up my fj for a run.

I can only dream of paying $3.50 for a gallon... it's about $2.10 (£1.32) for a LITRE in the UK... and you need 3.79 of those to make a gallon (US) = £4.96 which is $7.85

but in the UK it is £5.94 ($9.40) for an English gallon.

This is for Regular and not Super Unleaded.

I got the litre / US gallon conversion off the internet so if I'm wrong blame the web!

I've seen it in the $3.45 range around here for past couple days.  How is Indy so much cheaper?

It just dropped to that from $3.45 yesterday.

Not sure why, but the one refinery in NW Indiana that has been down for months may be back online.

Around here it will shoot up from 25 to 40 cents overnight, then trickle back down.

Last week, it was $3.68.

Today's price for diesel is pushing $4/gal.  Go figure.    

FWIW, Dan, that same station was back at $3.48 within 3 hours of that posting.

Prices here are much cheaper here than many places, but very volatile...

It cost me the equivalent of $51.32 (US dollars) to fill up my FJR the other day    and I get through a tank on average every 2 to 3 days. I'd love to have the US prices over here but not the 10% ethanol, at least our petrol is decent quality stuff.

No kidding. It's about $8.40 / gallon for diesel here in Hungary. Just a little less for unleaded.

Ouch.  That's about what it cost to fill up my Ford Ranger (compact pickup truck) this week.

Didn't you guys push a revolution or something to avoid excessive taxes and the likes of royal repression. Oh, sorry that was us, carry on. It still cost me $18 USD to fill up the FJ today.....grrrrrr   .

[fudgejerkin1188]

Its not just the fuel, an FJR over here cost MORE in £ sterling than you guys pay in US $ (£15.499 for the A and £16.499 for the AS.) Decent secondhand FJs are pretty cheap though

Yeah, us too now. It's now $4.29 US for a gallon of 91 octane gas in East San Diego County. 
I filled up just as it was breaking the $4 range and cost about $15 USD. That will go up during this weekend ride. 
Still we are getting off cheap compared to you WAY OVER TAXED types in Europe.

Cheers,

Where I live in Thailand now it's about $1 /litre range and most of those folks only earn $250 a month...

Forget the "Europe" comparisons. What is the average European tax rate on that commodity? You people are screwed worse than the USA. That is the way it is and get used it or move. A 50 or 60% attrition rate from any country will get governments attention.
