What's the price for fuel around the planet at the moment ? Lets stick to the good stuff we feed our 'Birds ! .... i.e. Premium Unleaded 98 RON or better. And FYI: 1 US Gallon = 3.86 Litres 1 Imp Gallon = 4.55 Litres I just paid $1.42 a litre for BP Ultimate this afternoon ! I'd like to re-visit this thread in a year and see how cheap it was at this time

It's about the same hear for premium in Montreal canada, we go by litres too. Maybe 10 cents less or so.

Montgomery Alabama (Southeast U.S.) I think it was $3.32 a gal the last time I filled up. If my math is correct that is .86 per liter. I know is is cheap compared to you guys but I can still complain right? Interesting site --> GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada

In the UK we pay for 98 octane unleaded stg 114.9 or 2.30 dollars a litre that works out at approximately 9 dollars a us gallon. It's 107.9 per litre for regular unleaded here. So even with your recent fuel increases i nthe USyou're still only paying less that half that we do here. It costs me 60 (120 dollars) to fill the car ouch!!

In Portugal, for 98 we currently pay around 1.53euros/Liter, which is about 2.37dollars/Liter. And we don't earn as much as UK employees (unfortunately)... |

Posted price of 3.45 per gallon at the local Kroger for premium-we get 10 cents off per gallon if we spend at least 100.00 bucks per week on food-which is easy to do. Unfortunately both of my cars require premium and of course my bikes get premium.

In good old South Africa we get to pay R8.09 per liter for 95 octane lead free. That calcultes to more or less $1.03 per liter. |

I just filled my car with regular, but premium (93+) is $1.24/l. With crude @$109/bbl I expect to be paying up to $1.50/l most of the summer.

$3.65 here in Pleasanton Ca. I'm running regular, I've found no difference in power or mileage. Unless someone knows something I don't, I'm using regular...

Last I saw was $3.39 a gallon in Wisconsin USA. Unfortunately my GMC is a diesel and that is at $3.99 a gal. I am really looking forward for the snow and ice to be gone!! Sandsquidxx, I have noticed a mileage and slight power increase in mid grade fuel over regular and premium unleaded. But that was in my 50cc scooter!

SandsquidXX: I've read a bit about fuel; I was told in 1983 that ALL Honda engines built after 1974 MUST run 91+ octane. This after my '79 750 K burned a valve. My next mechanic suggested daily redlines for all DOHC Honda engines. Go figger........I still buy the good stuff for my lawnmower, snowblower, weedwhacker and motorcycles...although it doesn't burn as hot, it may burn cleaner.......

3.15 for regular unleaded in the Austin, TX area at this moment. You guys know it's spring break so prices will go up then level off then on Memorial day they will increase due to demand. Then there might be an avalance in the Himalayas that hit some transformers and that will cause gas to up another 20 cents or so. Are you guys tired of the excuses for the high price of gas too?
