Per gallon, not per liter. And the octane is similar, but calculated differently.

For what it is worth, my commute to work is so short I have no idea what gas costs, I buy it so rarely. I use about 11 gallons/month with my Civic, averaging around 26 mi/gal.

I expect my driving to increase significantly and my mileage to decrease significantly when I first get the Bimmer, but it still shouldn't be too bad.

Last fill was $3.59 for Premium (72) at Chevron.

Chevron carries 93 octane?

I haven't seen 93 octane in California for the longest time.....

CALIF65GM · 06-21-2006, 10:47 PM

Just paid $3.29 for (San Rafael, CA) Union 76 91-octane at lunch time today. It's one of the lowest around in the area.

91 is the highest i have seen in California. I thought that was a state regulated thing based on California's "special" fuel requirements?

92 octane?......you must be smoking too much octane!

California's Clean Act Law won't allow it.....I think....

Hawkshaw · 06-22-2006, 09:10 AM

$1.18 / Litre

1L = 3.7854118 Gallons, so that's $4.47 a Gallon, Canadian dollars...

$1 CDN = $.906 USD, so that's $4.04 USD a gallon...

Someone check that math?

hskev · 06-22-2006, 10:52 AM

1,1 euro / litre for 95 octane (european specs) Shell.
= 4,1 euro / gallon
= $5,2 / gallon more or less

SoYank · 06-22-2006, 11:43 AM

£.989 per litre for 98 octane at Shell which comes to £3.743 per U.S. gallon. With a rate of exchange of $1.83 per £1.00 it comes to $6.85 per gallon.

Correct me if I'm wrong but what do they charge you for the engine size/volume living in Greece?

SP330 · 06-28-2006, 06:26 PM

$3.20 for vpower at shell (my first fillup for my new car!)

Asiann · 06-28-2006, 06:36 PM

Philly is getting all that rain right? What's up with that?

turbo · 06-28-2006, 06:56 PM

We pay approx US$7.50 over here in Norway:mad:
We are the third biggest oil producing country, but the taxes on gas are sky high!

(Not to mention the car prices over here. My E91 320d cost the same as a new M5 in the US)
