Seems to be around $1.85-$1.90 in the Minneapolis neighborhood where I live, but I haven't bought gas for weeks so I don't pay much attention.

It is as low as $1.72 though according to http://www.twincitiesgasprices.com/ . sdkfz, you missed out, as the lowest price is at the Sam's Club in Shakopee!

Germany, Rhein-Main-Area (Frankfurt and vicinity) 1,16 € for regular and 1,21 € for premium.

And that's per litre.

Per US-Gallon it'd be 4,38 € for regular and 4,57 € for premium.

I miss Florida. . $1,38 for regular in some areas

94.9 cents (Canadian) per litre, which is approximately US$2.61 per gallon. That's for regular, I don't even know how much premium is!

Was just on the morning news here that we pay the highest price for gas in Canada.

oddjob, that's definitely high. It just jumped to 90.5/liter here in the Okanagan.
Is Chilliwack still at 66.6?

Try Living in the Uk.

Petrol is 81.9 pence per litre here.

Which is Roughly £3.36 per US Gallon.

Which is $5.96! Ouch! It shows why we all drive smaller cars here.

I know for a fact that costco and sams club are wayyyy cheaper on their gas and thats where we usually go for it. Unfortunatly, I can't remember the prices right off hand.

Baltimore, maryland.
