MICH Gas prices?????????

[Hornetpowerspor]

I have seen regular gas priced as high as 2.89 today :( It was 2.65 this morning. I will have to admit, I was pretty reluctant to believe it would hit 3.00 this summer but now I am second guessing myself. I know it has been high in Cali and AZ but this is rediculous. What are some of you paying in other parts of the country?

[threewheelin-feelin]

ive seen it $1.57 here in hampton virginia

[LonesomeTriZ]

$2.70's here. It is getting pretty damn ridiculous.

[bigredhead]

1.06 per L here in NB Canada.

[freewheel3]

Paid $1.04 a liter yesterday, whats that work out to, about $4.00 a US gallon? Costs me over a hundred bucks to fill my truck up now & I average 5-6000 Km/month.

[YAMAHA_Jim]

$2.70 for regular in Rock Hill,NY Cost $100 to fill my truck up from empty.

[smokinwrench]

$2.60 range here in southwest Kansas for the cheap stuff

[bigredhead]

I get around on 5 cents per 30 km's on my bike

at 1 $ per Liter ( canadian.. to simplify things a bit ) .. if the math is correct.. ( and it may not.. wich i'm sure someone here will correct.. god love forums ) .. i get



Are you ready ?



2812 MILES PER GALLON !!!

Top that !

[wheelie king]

Diesel is also ridiculous. It is $2.58 here in Central FL. Crazy. :mad:

[Mobular]

$1.12 In B.C! I am fortunate enough to be close to the border so I buy Yankee gas at .87 can. cents per liter. Conversion for the yanks is: liter is pretty much a quart. 4 quarts to the Yank gallon, 4.5 to the Can. gallon. Dollars are Can.dollar x .84 = yankee dollar. Ex: $1.20x .84= $1 US.....

[freewheel3]

I'm not all that great at math but common sense tells me nothing can drive across Canada on one gallon of fuel. Might want to check those calculations again. lol.

[bigredhead]

I should maybe add that i'm calculating 5 pennies a recharge on 36v Sealed Lead Acid Batteries.. wich provide 30km range per recharge at absolute best...... But IF my math is correct... at 1 $ a liter and at current electricity cost per Kilowatt...

I get well over 2500 mpg !

No matter how you calculate it... my electric transportation is the way of the future !!!

[TravEX]

$2.49 for regular here, farm diesel (no-tax) is $2.15!!!!! we're burning alot of diesel in the tractors getting the foodplots ready for the deer, looks like the price of deer meat just went up too!! hehe

[250rAL]

$2.42 but ask again tomorrow... :cry:

[Oldshell4481]

2.43 last i checked here

[84honda 200X]

2.50 ish it goes up and down but useualy 2.50 up here in the north.

[BigAir660R]

bout 2.59 her in N texas, one station has it for 1.99 though

[foster]

I hear my fellow NBers close to the border in Maine are crossing over the line and fueling up at 85 centsUS/litre.

This afternoon in fredericton, n.b. on the Atlantic coast of Canada the price hit $1.13/litre. Where I live (and Bigredhead) everyone's rushing to fill up to beat the $1.13 price hike because for today at least we are holding at $1.07/litre in this market. If someone wants to figure out what that in *.S. dollars/gallons, be my guest.

[freewheel3]

My bad BRH, I jumped to conclusions & assumed you were talking about your SX.

[nouseforaname90]

$1.99??? How do they have it so cheap??

And its usually about $2.40-$2.60 here. Yesterday it was $2.45, and when we went into town today, it was $2.59!! I've never seen that big of a price jump in one day..

[corndawg]

i gave 2.50 for regular today at shell. for once shell is the cheapest in town :w00t: ...man i remember when we used to complain when it was at 1.25 :lol: . i only see gas going up from here, simply because they know that no matter how much it costs we WILL buy it. when it hit 1.25 we complained but still bought it, it hit 1.50 we complained but still bought it, it hit 1.75 and we still bought it, it hit 2.00 and we STILL bought it. now look, its nearing 3.00 and we are STILL going to buy it. lets face it, its somthing we cant really function without and they know it, they can do what they want with the prices and we will only b!tch and then go fill our tanks :cry:

[nouseforaname90]

It's not worth it though. People might as well quit their jobs if they work more than 10 miles from their home and earn less than $9 an hour, because for what they spend on gas getting back and forth from work everyday, they are hardly making anything after the expense of gas! Might as well quit their job and find one close to their home and ride their bike to work.

[84250r]

$2.88 up here in morthern Mi.

[Yamahauler]

97.9 per litre tonight, going up to 103.9 tomorrow.
I dont think we'll ever see it lower than 90 cents a litre again.
I think I'm going to buy a motorcycle to use as a daily driver, instead of using a V8 truck. It makes me sick knowing 80% of my gas money is going to the government.

[wanta250r]

$2.85 here

[3 weelin geezer]

2.24 for reg unleaded in el paso tx. What will be the excuse this winter? Oh, oil is now being used for heating so it will stay high. Have any of you heard we will be running out of oil in 6 mos?

[asc180]

That is a very good point to the 9 an hour and gas prices. All this is going to do is force people to spend less and like you said quit working. That is why I predict in the next 2 years the economy is going to take a major ****. Then they can raise it all they want because no one will be able to afford it anyways. It's simply amazing that the biggest economy in the world (US) can not do anything about prices. The price of goods is riseing to fast for wages which is why a recession is coming.

[Maine_Triker]

The main problem is the lack of refineries here in the US, and of course China is using alot more gas.

There is a way to make you're hybrid car get 250 mpg, a company is going to start up next year that will make your car do it for about $12000.

Until then, I might have to stop driving my 350x and use my Big Red! :lol:


What always scared me, is that when we do the switch to hydrogen, how are we going to drive our trikes??? There will be very litle gas stations left since gas will be obsolete. We will probable have to order it online for like $50 a gallon! :(

:wondering

You are correct about not being good a math. The formula is correct. Tell me how you come to your conclusion with nothing to support it?

I've never thought of that. I'm sure that there will be plenty of gas stations around for awhile though. When we switch to hydrogen cars, not many people are going to buy them right away. Some people are going to get them, and others are going to stick to gas cars. I highly doubt that we will ever TOTALLY switch to hydrogen. There will always be a few people driving around their gas cars.

Or us trikers could buy a 500 gallon tank, and stock up on gas so we will never run out! And our trikes will die or need an engine rebuild before our gas supply runs out! :crazy: And then when we do run out, we will just go to a fellow trikers house to fill up our trikes.

Check that out !

ps: I'm Buzzz on that forum.. this is the place to go if you want to get into electric transportation..... i got alot of help with my battery bike from these guys...

There are alot of factors involved.. as in batteries.. brakes.. cost of electricity etc..... but all in all.. electric motors will power the future of transportation.

With some mods... could we not run our trikes on hydrogen ? Slamming into a tree carying a canister of hydrogen might be a problem tho.

With the fact that for the price of 1 gallon of gas.. i can re-charge my batteries on my ELECTRIC bike and cross canada. ( that would be a challenge tho !! )


about 250mpg http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050814/D8BV9N2G0.html

Sorry. Your post did not differentiate to who you were responding, between my formula and BRHs electric thingie. As it was directly below mine, it was taken as a response to my conversion table.

[Maine_Triker]

Yup... it wouldn't require much to make any engine run on hydrogen, but then you'de be decreasing the collectable value of the trike. :cry:

[Hornetpowerspor]

Gas is back to 2.65 here today???

[Yamahauler]

I dont know about you guys, but if they start producing those hydrogen cars and keep them looking like they do, I will never buy one, they are ugly. I'd sooner walk then be seen driving one of those.

[Russell 350X]

Its between 2.40 and 2.60 here.

[corndawg]

its been holding at 2.50 at the shell station, everyone else is in the 2.60+ range. every time i go to town i make sure i top off the tank, never know how long they will have it that "cheap"

[Billy Golightly]

Diesel holding under 2.60 here still. Right at 2.57 a gallon.

[Maine_Triker]

Well folks, today it went up to 2.71 here.... that's for regular....

[slothminx]

hmmm its US $6.10 for petrol and a bit more for diesel i think i win on most exspensive!! :cry:

[rustbucket]

THe store where I work sells gas for 2.87

[azhondagrl]

cheapest here in Mesa, AZ is 2.55, diesel is pushin about 2.65 at the cheapest I think. Most of the stations though are 2.59 and up in my area. I really almost can't afford to work, like many are saying, I work 6 miles from home and make 8 bucks an hour. man, this is rediculous. :confused:

[Yamahauler]

I heard on the radio this morning that the gas prices in america are cheaper than canadian by quiet a bit, it said converted to canadian dollars, they're paying about 81 canadian cents/ litre. I'm paying $1.03 and I heard in vancouver its 1.18/L

[bigredhead]

1.12 today in NewBrunswick !

[keweenaw4310]

$2.79 / US Gallon is wha I paid last night to fill up our van.

I bike (pedal bike) to and from work in the summer. I leave a car at work for use around town. It's a 31 mile round trip commute. Takes me about 55 minutes each way. Been doing it for 3 months now and figure I have at least 1 more month to go before the daylight squeezes me off the roads in the morning.

At 2.79 / gallon with my 15 mpg truck that's about $460.00 worth of fuel or 165 gallons that I saved this summer. Not to mention I'm in pretty good shape for a 40 year old because of it.

$1.10/L in Van today.

You really need to look into Battery power and a HUB MOTOR for your bike !!

your 55 minute commute will be cut down to about half.. and you will barely break a sweat ! for 30 mile range.... get the BIG BATTERIES !!!

I am 100% impressed. That is just cool at heck you ride a bike that far to and from work. Im sure your in dang good shape after a summer of that. You can buy a lot of trike parts or have a nice riding trip for free with the savings. I guess my lazy butt will keep driving my service truck about 80% of the time and let the company pay my way.

Thanks Yamahauler. You read my mind. Gas is like $2.8? in Dryden, Mi.

[bigredhead]

Expect hydrogen to be a conversion thing..... basically:

You remove the engine.. tranny... gas tank .. everything that was gas powered. You install a " Fuel Cell " .. basically a battery that runs on liquid hydrogen to produce electricity to power an electric motor

Don't be fooled.. electric cars can be FAST !!!!

[BLAZERONE22]

$2.65 a gallon here in Oregon for unleaded, I can't believe it cost over 15 bucks to fill my premix can plus the cost of oil. I might have to start riding the 350x more. I found these gas saver things on ebay for cars.lol

http://aliencow.com/images/gassavingdevice.jpg

[esande151]

$2.58 for dezul today.......................according to scientist on a Discovery Channel show, the process of producing liquid hydrogen makes the same air pollution per mile as if you were to just burn it in the cars engine. sort of a problem i would guess

the same show said at current rate of growth we will run out of oil in 2017.

the scariest thing about the whole thing was when they showed the looooooonnnnnggg list of things that are made from petroleum based products. no oil, no products, not good.

love the gas saving device...............blzrone22

Were getting real close to hittin the 3.00 mark here in CA, saw it for 2.93 today. Oh and also it was hitting the 100 degree mark today in football. funny, didnt feel any different from the BIG 80 degree mark :twisted:

[Fox250R]

just today hit 2.66 for regular and 2.87 for prem....my truck runs like chit on regular too, dont have much of a choice though i guess.

[honda200boyatc]

2.59 here in duluth MN i think it will go higher now

[Hornetpowerspor]

Well it hit 3 bucks today, man this is rediculous!!!!!

[corndawg]

cheapest in town today was 3.27, everywhere else is 3.50+ for the cheap chit

[TravEX]

reg 2.89
mid 2.99
prem 3.00

I guess they don't expect to sell much premium, so they just charge .01 more, hehe.

[Billy Golightly]

Cheap grade here in town is about 3.14 a gallon now. Haven't seen what diesel is yet. I heard at the barber shop this morning that all the gas stations a town over are completely out. Thats not good.

[ejc042]

2.99 for regular unleaded. Half the statjions in town are out and the others ex-pect to be out in some time today. I was told it could be up to 10 days till we get more gas

[Adam250sx]

1.29 Liter and 1.40 Liter in other place on the East Coast of Canada.. :mad: :mad:

[oddy_fever]

$3.48 a gallon for regular unleaded at all stations in my town and surrounding areas. We also have a couple of stations out of gas. There was a lady last night that ran out as she was pulling into the station.........to bad they were out of gas as well!

[atctim]

$3.19 in Western PA. Funny, it was $2.99 less than 12 hours ago. That's 20 cents in 10 hours. What a crock!!!! I heard the gas station attend say, EXPECT 75 more cents by next week. Glad I have a 4 cylinder truck now!!!! These prices are so out of hand. How can gasoline double it's price in 1 years time. Imagine if everything else doubled it's price in one years time. A new pick-up truck would be $60 - 80K. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

reg 2.89
mid 2.99

Parked my 04 Silverado Ext cab 4x4 today, gonna ride the EX to work and with the wife anywhere else.

Rumors of a shortage here, too. We cancelled our out of town plans for the weekend.

$3.49 in East Tennessee. I have seen a couple of stations at $3.80
