Oh to be in America. :thumbsup: what part of U.S. are you in.
$2.87/gallon = approx .71$US/Litre. In Victoria BC I just paid $119.9$CDN a Litre which = approx $4.79CDN per U.S size gallon, or $5.36$US per US gallon, but the sad thing is, since our gallons are bigger, and our dollar worth less than yours I actualy paid $5.39 Canadian per gallon:cry:

[Ziv]

In toronto, 93.5 Yesterday, and I filled it up few days ago at 87.5 if somebody could do the math.... yeah, i am bad at math.

[seriousfun]

US$3.39/US gal. in the Los Angeles area.

[foober]

Its really interesting driving into gas stations now a days. I like to check how much the person before me paid. I've seen 50.00+ dollars regularly. One attendant said a couple of customers have actually hit the glass window the attendant was in they were so pizzed at the cost of gas.

Just wait. It could get alot worse soon. One hiccup of any problems and we could be seeing 4 and 5 dollars for a gallon of gas. The 2.90 a gallon were paying now will seem like the good old days.

[Macel]

Believe I payed $2.99 for my last fillup, and that was one of the cheaper gas stations in the area. Can't wait to get the yaris hehe.

[Leenis24]

Up here in VT, its like $2.81 - $2.93.

93.5 per litre=approx $4.21CDN for a CDN gln.$3.74CDN for a U.S gl.
87.5=approx $3.93CDN for a CDN gln, $3.50CDN U.S gln:mad:

You gotta be kidding me, we pay SO MUCH MORE than americans? Damn, I didn't know that!

[ubetiam]

Calgary $1.05/litre ($3.95 CDN for US Gallon) with todays exchange rate is $3.56 US/gallon)

[60 Somethings]

A good price right now here in USA's Vancouver is $2.99/Gal.

However, sure don't spend much time at the gas station with 'Yari'.

Going to take M-I-L out tomorrow (for mother's day). We will actually drive our 2006 4Runner for the first time in a week!!! (It gets 1/2 the mileage our Yaris does.)

Lou

[bikergal]

Thanks for all the replys....


Those that live in Canada right near the US border do you cross over and get gas in the US? I know I was up in Grand Forkes North Dakota and I saw a lot of Canadian plates around.

Are you talking about Vancouver Washington? I was there last week, I think I paid $2.89. :headbang:

[w1ngzer0]

I pay 3.26 in California. But i don't care i drive a motorcycle.

[NickNickNick]

About 4.10$/gallon.

109.5 cents/L.

[pennystocks]

You want to talk about $$, my old Aurora, 4.0 Liter DOHC v-8, 16 mpg, 20 gallon tank. 50$+ for a fill up. Its kinda funny tho, i drive like 500 miles a week or so, and save 60-70$ a week on gas alone vs the aurora. I save almost as much as my payments, i love it =D

[pennystocks]

BTW i just paid $2.89 US w/ a car wash

[plushDJ]

106.9 in Red Deer, actually filled my tank up for the first time yesterday, $39. Not bad.

[hhcchen]

here is the price around my area...

[plushDJ]

Am i reading this wrong or do different places have different prices in Bellevue?? I've never seen that before

[hhcchen]

Am i reading this wrong or do different places have different prices in Bellevue?? I've never seen that before

yup, i guess some of these higher priced gas stations are trying to sell gas to people like Bill Gate...

[Ron]

i filled up in washington state at $3.25/gal USD and thought it was a good deal...

gas here in vancouver is 1.216/L CDN, ouch!

[why?]

I payed $2.92 to top off my Yaris after I bought it. LOL, could only fit a little over half a gallon in.

Still haven't needed to fill it up yet, and I've put 280 miles on it. That was a week and 3 days ago.

[bikergal]

Went down a penny to $2.86 a gallon here.... laughs... Don't worry I won't spend the penny savings per gallon all in one place :bellyroll:

[Uglyboyed]

here in south florida it about 2.89 a gallon in most places. and lines are in the places that sell for 2.87. so i rather pay 2.89 and be in and out

[TRD_Yaris]

about $2.70 here in Austin, Texas

it's amazing, i drive delivery 6 nights a week, and switching over from a 4cylinder econo-truck to a new Yaris SAVES me more than the Yaris payment!! i use to spend about $300 per month (@ $2.75 gallon average) getting about 21 miles per gallon. now, i get 38+ mpg and save about $140 month (my payment is $138/month)...AND KEEP MILES off my expensive vehicles!! this doesn't even take into account my personal driving...like grocery runs, school, roadtrips that will make the Yaris even more worthwhile!!!
thanks, toyota!

[sroberts]

About $2.75 here in Denver, Colorado

[swng]

Around 118 cents Candian per liter here in the Greater Vancouver area today. Way higer than in the US. For conversion, one US gallon is almost 3.8 liters and one US Dollar is about 1.1235 Canadian Dollars. That means our price here is almost US$4 per US gallon. Correct me if I am wrong.

[bikergal]

***Bumping***

Gas here is $2.90 right now and going up :thumbdown:

[foober]

Any guesses to how high gas will go with wars that might go off in the middle east.

My guess is 5.25 a gallon if war breaks out. And depending on how long and bad it gets the higher it will go but fast.

[mikeukrainetz]

I just paid 1.19 a litre here. Used to drive accross the border and pay almost 20 cents a litre less.

I imagine gas will be close to 1.50 a litre by the end of the summer if not sooner depending on the bull thats going on.

[Chris07LB]

$2.97 as of 7/13/06 in South Jersey

[fouad84]

3.13 here in IL daym, but its just doesnt hurt as much when your rollin yaris like

[asa805]

I paid 3.25 yesterday. Though after i filled up i saw a station that was 3.19. Im in Queens NYC

[Moose]

That's right about what it is here in N. Georgia.

Thank God I got rid of my truck for the Yaris.:smile:

[Chris]

Hey!
I pay 1.40€ per Liter here in Germany!!!!!!!

[bikergal]

$2.69 here and going down everyday it seems :thumbup:

[Cathy]

Here in my part of Southern California I paid $2.99 and was excited, can't remember the last time it was under $3.00 a gallon.

Cathy

[James]

2.39 here.

[argylesocks]

$2.69 here and going down everyday it seems :thumbup:

same here. :)

[SimmZ]

1.02$ / liter today but in some area of Quebec it was 0.95$ / liter!

[riceboy]

82.3 per litre... just filled up..

[bikergal]

2.39 here.

Wow :eek:

I wish it was that cheap here.... maybe soon...

[argylesocks]

$2.69 here and going down everyday it seems :thumbup:

what kind of "biker" are you, bikergal? like motorcycle or bicycle?

[Hawaiian Bluzman]

Are the prices everyone listing for Regular, Plus or Premium?
I feed my baby Premium which was $3.35 per gal. last week but its been dropping this week. But will we ever see under $3 again?

[msagowitz]

You're wasting money on that premium gas.
Gas was 2.23 in Columbus today, last week it was 2.35...hopefully it'll go down even more for a little while.

[nsmitchell]

Just filled up at $2.40. I got 31MPG.

[Snowflake]

2.69 per gallon here. I hope my mileage keeps improving, last tank was 32.7 mpg.

[foober]

Anyone want to guess that gas prices go up again after the election. :smile:

I'm still getting an average of 38 miles to the gallon. I've been using that method of pretending an egg is under my gas pedal. Just easing pressure on it.

I can hardly wait to take a long distance trip to see what I get via long distance highway cruising miles. One more month and I'll give it a try.

[Ralira]

I paid 2.49 a gallon it take about 25 dollar to fill my tank

[stuffy]

Anyone want to guess that gas prices go up again after the election.

i think you are on to something there.

[sroberts]

It starts!! Lets just hope it keep rolling...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060912/bs_nm/autos_bmw_hydrogen_dc

[argylesocks]

$2.23 today in NH.

crazy low. its odd. its only 4 stations, and they happen to be within 1 mile of each other. everyone else is around $2.50-2.70

last few tanks= 41.2mpg

[ChinoCharles]

$2.19 near Akron, OH today.

[07WYarisRS]

Still $2.70 in Buffalo yesterday

[foober]

i think you are on to something there.

I'm definetly planning on taking a long trip before the election to catch the better gas prices. I've read that they may try and keep gas prices down till after the xmas holiday.

[boxerboy]

who's they?

[Bidoup]

83.1¢ / Liter around Gatineau-Ottawa

[argylesocks]

who's they?

you mean you dont know?

its the liberals. they control the media. now they control the gas prices, as well.

Stop putting premium fuel in you low compression econo box
damn it that the dumbest thing I have ever heard of...

Higer octane fuel has a higher flash point that can help reduce knock in high compression engines end of story. Anything else you have heard about running it in a engine designed to run lower octane fuel is a myth. you are not doing your engine and emissions system any good.

[ChinoCharles]

I thought the Yaris did have a high compression engine. 10.5:1 isn't high?

[07WYarisRS]

I thought the Yaris did have a high compression engine. 10.5:1 isn't high?

NO
Not on an engine with varable valve timing it's not where the valve timing changes for given rpms/loads.
An engine will not suffere from damage caused by detonation at low rpm.

Think about it. WTF is the point of building an econo box/and efficient fuel burning car if it requires you to run it in the most exspensive fuel at the pumps?

That's just stipid.
the lower the octane the easier it is for the fuel to ignite and the more efficient combustion will be. The only time you should ever move up to a higher octane is is you have a problem with detonation and even them only go the the highest octane needed to prevent detonation. Anything more then that can cause a loss of HP (more so in carb applications then EFI because the efi)

Most sport bike have just as high or higher compression levels and able to run regular octane with no problems. The big difference is the rpm range at which these engine operate and the lack of VVT on many of them.
A GSXR 1000 has a high compression engine (12.5:1) and can still run 87 octane for normal operating conditions and that's an engine with a redline of over 10,000 rpm.
With 87 octane the fi system had to work a little harder to keep the fuel mixture at stoich but it's still within range of ther fi system.

[Don Mason]

Another issue that allows low octane fuel to be used on a high compression engine is exhaust gas recirculation, used to control peak ignition temperature, which reduces NOX emissions.

The introduction of exhaust into the cylinder charge can be thought of as an inert dilutent,which allows far higher compression without pre ignition that would be possible on a non emission controlled engine.

[nsmitchell]

Paid $2.15 today at Sheets in Richmond, VA! Holy Sheets!

[ChinoCharles]

Finally saw it this weekend.

$1.99 near Kent State University in Ohio.

[pxpaulx]

Well, its wednesday, and it appears that the gas stations have gotten back into their 'wednesday bump up' swing of things. must mean we'll be around 2.15-2.30 for the next while.

last night $2.13, this morning $2.29. i found a station for the low price, wasn't really necessary as i'd only driven 158 miles...boy that feels good to fill up for $10 bucks! if they go as scheduled, tomorrow it will be back to somewhere between 2.19 and 2.24. i'll update when it happens! (note, this is a half rant because i hate how it is so predictable, and yet no, prices aren't fixed!)

edit: i decided to pick 2 weeks out to compare how much i was spending on gas (only had the yaris for 2 weeks, to be fair). between august 8-23 we spend $157.79 on gas for our Honda Element, and old Civic. between sept. 5-20, we've only spent $55.86! already put 1000 miles on the yaris too, which is on par with how much we were driving in august. $40 of that savings is probably the difference in price of gas, but i'm really happy to have a high MPG car again!

[vodkalush]

screw you guys and your sub $2.80 prices....

i was happy to see the prices drop from 2.97 to 2.85....

[eTiMaGo]

we pay roughly US$0.70 per liter here, and that's considered pretty expensive! Our neighbors down south in Malaysia get gas a little cheaper (government subsidy), but then their car prices are a lot higher (except the crappy ones from the country's manufacturers of course) ;)
