Gas Prices ..

[Ernesto]

The diesel is holding steady at $3.11 a gallon, Unleaded is $2.89, Premium is $3.18

 

[Ernesto]

You guys can moan
Our price per litre which equals about 4.5 litres to your gallon is NZ$2.30 a litre which is US$1.61
Now they are going to add US$ 0.077 cents a litre for sorting out our transport problems which in turn will lift up the price of everything

But Jon, what is it like twenty miles across NZ??

 

[Jon]

Its not the across which is the worry. Its the length way which is the problem. One hour to get over the Harbour Bridge
We do not do miles per gallon here We do gallons per hour due to the traffic

Ahh. Reminds me of Guam. LOL. Island is 30 miles long by about 5 miles wide (although it's wider at the ends and narrower in the middle-- like a peanut). But since there's only one main road (Marine Drive) to get to certain areas, it can take awhile due to traffic. Doesn't help that the speed limit is only 35mph.

Still rock steady at $3.19 here.

Regular unleaded? Thats nuts.

 

[havasu]

Just flew into Texas. Gas is $2.65. Nice!

 

[Nick]

How many gallons are you aloud to bring back with you ?

 

[highup]

Regular unleaded? Thats nuts.

How come? It's along ways from refineries to the Oregon coast. It gets shipped to San Francisco and Seattle, then trucked from there to here.

 

[Nick]

We have more oil here , and two refinery's 5 miles away and our gas is higher then yours .. Figure that one out ..

 

[highup]

I can't explain it. Your state taxes and ours are close to the same

The only supermarket we have now, is not only cheaper on groceries than Walmart, they give money off on gas at a local station. I filled both vehicles at $2.36 gallon this morning.

I wonder how much diesel my neighbor burned in the tractor today when he bush-hogged my yard. He got at least 10 acres done. I'll have to go over later and give him a thank you note and some $.

 

[Floorist]

$2.53, but I filled both vehicles at $1.92 with my rewards card.

 

[havasu]

I found a way to reduce my fuel costs by 50%. I simply fill the car up after if is down to a half tank. Hell, it use to cost me $60 to fill the tank, and now it only costs me $30. Too bad you all aren't as smart as me!

 

[highup]

I do $10 at a time, so my gas costs 1/3 of what you pay.
Our is still at 3.19. Hasn't budged a penny in 5 weeks.

I buy my groceries cheaper than at Walmart, store actually has butchers, and save money on gas. Plus, it is only about 5 blocks from my house.

 

[highup]

We have a WM Superstore, but I don't recall them having butchers. Maybe they do, but I don't shop much there because I'm only two miles from Fred Meyer Store (Kroger)
They give gas "rewards" and give me coupons for the same items I buy. They also give rewards points based on grocery purchases every 3 months, so I get a voucher in the mail from $10 to $12 on anything I buy.
If I shopped at three stores, I'd never gain enough points at any single location to make it worthwhile. That said I shop mostly at this one store. It's also the cheapest, so it's a win win.

I don't buy groceries at Walmart. Only at Woods Bros.

The meat at Walmart is nasty.
