Gas Prices

Central Illinois here. We have the low grade gas for $2.39 a gallon and propane just cost me $1.05 per gallon although I locked in a low price last summer by pre-buying it.

If you're considering contracted price, a few months ago I paid .99 gallon. The current price is the 1.24

We're $1.09 a litre that's about $4.36 a us gallon, before Christmas it was .92 cents.

Wbk and others... Converting Canadian per litre pricing to compare to US fuel prices requires a little bit of math. The example here, CAD$1.09/litre actually works out to about US$3.10 per gallon. Remember, our friends to the south are using US gallons, or 128 ounce gallons, not Imperial gallons. The approximate conversion factor for litres-to-US Gallons is X3.78.

In the example above, $1.09 x 3.78 = CAD$4.12 per US gallon. Then apply a typical exchange rate conversion of something like 0.75 (didn't see the rate today but yesterday it was 0.754). so CAD$4.12 X 0.75 = USD$3.09 per US gallon.

Yep! And I was really close to buying another truck. Think I'll be keeping the SUV.

Fuel price scares are the best time to buy trucks. I got my current Dakota with 42k on the clock for $7k last time gas hit $4. I've been watching for cheap 3/4 tons but nothing yet.

Still not out of the question but I'm in wait and see mode.

I am painfully aware of that fact, we ship our fuel all over and in lots of instances it's cheaper at the other end than here. It's not about the product, but about the taxes.

yah but I pay for my gas in Canadian dollars! Lol

Two of the biggest refineries are 2 hours away from me and we live in a oil rich Province.

Tell ya what my friends to the south, let's build a pipeline down to y'all and sell you some reasonable priced crude that you can refine and create jobs?
