Gas -->  Regular 88.9 cents    Supreme: 97.9 cents
Diesel -->  92 cents  (all per liter)

Cost $35 to fill the car up, and $110 to fill the truck.  It's scarry when I think about it.  Almost every thing I like to to involves comsuming fuel.  (snowmobiling, fishing, boating, driving.)

If gas ever hits and stays at $1.oo per liter, I'm gonna go lease a fuel mizer.  For the amout of driving I do (and the potential tax right offs from a lease) it will be worth it.  Probably a focus but I have considered a turbo diesel VW.  (However, those TDI VW's kind of scare me in winter).

That's strange, diesel here is at 86.9, while regular is at 92.9. I wonder why they're not gouging diesel drivers around here...
 
Those snowmobiles like their fuel, don't they? I think my '97 Formula III (600CC triple) gets about 0.3 MPG. I can't believe such a small engine can burn so much gas! It costs me a hundred bucks every weekend to run two machines (the Formula and an old Everest). In comparison my four-wheeler only went through two or three tankfulls of gas last summer (driving it every weekend).

Down Ohio way it's getting nearly as bad as Cali. It's hovering around 2 bucks or so, even got up to around 2.10 last week. Rumor has it it's gonna hit as high as 2.75 by years end. Hurray! Just be glad we all don't live in Hawaii, I think it's around 4 or 5 there, not sure.

He just filled it up at half a tank.  You can fill up your tank with $1.00 if you drove down the street and right back to the gas station after filling.  lol

Im at about $2.00/gal

The diesel is more expensive because some independant stations are holding out on raising gas prices for a few days.  Kind of like price wars, only they will all go up soon.  It seems to happen alot around here. 

My skidoo 750 absolutly guzzles when your into the throttle.  If your light on it; she does ok.  I have a friend with a fuel injected polairs ( ?2001  600 double?) and it does a little better (but not great).  My old 1980 Yamaha 340 Enticer practically runs on fumes compared to the ski doo.  But has about 1/3 the power (not bad for 18 000 miles).  On the bright side I got many weeks of skidooing left.  Just snowed 6" last night, still in the -15 to -20 temps.  Most complain of the cold: I embrace it :)

Digging out the dish:  Gotta have TV :giggle:

Only if someone wants to know....

 A Liter of regular gas (87 oct) costs here the equivalent of 69 cents.

  A liter of "premiun" fuel (97 oct) costs here near of 76 cents.

  I donĀ“t remember how much does the diesel costs, but the last time that i went to the gas station it costs 50 cents.
 
  I have heard that our fuel it is not good for the North-american vehicles, from the words of some north american people. They say "your fuel is dirty and its not good for the inyectors"

  Hey, the dirty in the gas is free...

 Of course, all numbers X litre...

2.29 at the local chevron, and it is supposed to go up again. $68 to fill up my 02' E-350 15 pass V10. Time to start thinking again about bbq power, propane is cheaper.

The gas staion around the corner from my house is charging $2.34 a gallon for 93 octane.  I work roughly 15 miles away and the place over there charges $2.08.  Guess where I fill up.....
