I paid $4.50 in Feb at some station in the middle of no where in Cali. No doubt they are still bending people over.

we're at $1.45 to $1.50 per litre for 91 (premium)

High $1.50 / 0.264172052 = $5.68 *1.045 exchange = US$5.93

Low $1.45 / 0.264172052 = $5.49 *1.04 exchange = US$5.71

I remember explicitly in Feb of 2004 when I bought my 8, my first fill up was at $1.54/gal. Now it's getting close to the point that the 8 gets parked....and I have a really bad feeling $4 is here to stay this time...even after the economy crashes again (which will happen) R.I.P sports cars as we know them.

I would love to see some of the UK owners chip in to this thread.
I would bet that they are paying 8.00$ USD a gallon or more!

So any of you chaps from the Mother land would like to post in US dollars and in US gallons I would like to know


Or Canadian dollars and in litre .. up to you

4.34 and climbing. I can't believe in about 6 months gas has gone up a full dollar a gallon. I've already said if it hits 5 I'm getting myself a bike

It's going to go up as well since OPEC is cutting back on production claiming the global market is saturated with crude.

This will no doubt be a repeat of 2008 when there was no supply problems but the price continued to rise anyway.

From my quick calculations the British are paying US$8.83 for a US gallon of premium.

In the US EPA regulated areas, there is a switch from winter to summer gasoline blends May 1st. The refineries begin to cut back on the winter blend and the prices go up. After May 1st and the summer blends get into production, the prices go back down. This has been happening for about 10 yrs and no one seems to remember.

I think NYC switch back to "regular" blend already, but who cares, it still has 10% garbage in there so yea its still garbage.
