How much is gas where you live?

Our Petrol will go up with 77 SA cents in the up coming month. We will now be looking at almost R8 per liter by the end of this year. I walk more than I drive, great exercise and it saves some petrol as well. The thing is our pay does not get more, but everything gets more expensive by the day. F*cking ANC screwing up everything once again, if they only did what they are being payed to do no one would have a problem.

My VW Caddy gives me 12km on a liter in town and better if you drive on the open road.
 
IT'S IN!!! Screw You Big Oil!!!! Chavez and all you Arab assholes Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

I just converted one of my cars to E85!!! Here in my area of Colorado gas is between $2.99 and $3.15 a gallon - I just topped off at $2.09 a gallon!!!!

On my kit I may loose up to 15% of my mileage. My daily commuting car is a Honda Civic - so instead of getting 37 mpg I may go down to 31 mpg - but at $2.09 a gallon - so what!

We'll wait and see how much my mileage really goes down. I've read in some articles that 4 cylinder cars only loose about 2 or 3%!

On a sour note - a Shell station around the corner sells E85 as well - those Son of a Bitches are selling theirs at $2.79 a gallon!!!! I'm writing some of my local politicians and finding out why this gouge is being allowed!!!

I'm I doing this to help the environment? NO! - Am I a big Global Warming believer? NO! My reasons are purely economic and I also believe that if this fuel is pushed to the point the way it has in Brazil for example, we don't need to import any more foreign oil!!!!

If this conversion works for me I going to convert my other two cars!

And the band plays on!
 
Interesting. Wait until the environmentalists get wind that their scheme is popular. Then all the environmental regulations will be written around proper growing, harvesting, studies necessary to ensure no indigenous plants are harmed. We'll be right back where we were.
 
You may have a point but until then I'll take that $1.00 a gallon savings. BTW I could still use regular gasoline if I wanted to.

Funny - the stuff smells like alcohol and corn!
 
Laugh but watch the prices of wheat and other grains go up because it's easier and more profitatble to grow corn , it's already occuring watch the price of bread

Not at all - I don't know how much you know about US farms and the government, but if that was to happen the government would pay subsidies for farmers to grow wheat - I've already heard talk of that in my neighboring states who I would say have a pretty sizable agriculture industry - Kansas and Nebraska.8)

BTW - took my car for a spin earlier - it ran like it had an extra cylinder.
 
Very cool Joe... How much did the conversion kit for the car cost????

These rednecks down here in Mississippi dont even have that fuel available, anywhere....

My local gas has blown up, now at $3.11 per gallon, or .82 cents a liter, and probably higher this morning....

Marcel, thats 5.97 EU per gallon, which is $8.83 USD per gallon....... Insane......
 
Charles it's still going to go up maybe another 10-15 cents over the next week or two......why ?

problem with me running a 71 Chev flat bed one ton at 4-5 miles a per gallon, this is almost killing me financially
