I use Shell.No Chevron here.
Although I fill up with 93.
Now with the '12 ES not having the need for Premium anymore,I'll probably go with 89 from now on.
Just can't go 87 octane.89 is tough enough.

my no name gas station around the corner from me gets fuel from a big shiny no-name tanker with small b&w sign on the back that says Sunoco, so that's good enough for me. I throw in a bottle of regane once a year. no problems so far.

My local Giant Supermarket just added a gas station. Prices are $3.95/9; $4.07/9 and $4.17/9; which are all in the low range of local prices. BUT--if you regularly shop at Giant and use a Bonus Card, you earn money off 1 fill up per 60 day period. I have $1.00/per gallon to use this month.

Wow. 4.29 for regular on Fort Lewis (Tacoma) WA. E-85 is $2.80. Wifey puts E-85 in for in-town stuff. not a large difference between 12 and 15mpg.

I think gas prices is going to be way over $5 by this summer, and next year is probably gonna be even worse.

How much is your regular gas (or the gas you pay for), and where at?

For me, $4.21 a gallon, for about 19 gallons, translates to about $80 a tank.

I remember when I had my bmw, a few years ago, I paid over $100 for a tank, but I fear that worst times are coming.



Just stop!!!!!!!

I have to pay 9,89 dollars for 1 gallon i Norway!!!!!!!!

^ Sucks that you guys in Europe are taxed so heavily on gas, but at least most places in Europe have good public transportation. Not really the case everywhere here, you pretty much need a car to go anywhere in the U.S. in many cities. When I lived in the UK, everything you needed was within a few miles and public transportation was much better than it is here! My parents only took the car out on the weekends!

I just found Hydro Quebec website for charging stations. They are planning to charge 0.07777 cents per kWh.

It is interesting, it will cost me $1.24 to charge the car versus paying over $7 fill it up to travel 100 km.

Only thing is, there aren't that many charging stations in or around Montreal. You are practically stuck charging at home or at work.

Charging Cost

Anyway the gas prices yesterday went up, 0.2646 cents per gallon (0.07 cents per litre)
