Petrol Prices

Maybe if you guys started calling it "petrol", you'd get some lower prices too like the rest of us.

 

Gasoline???, last time I herd that I was calling the school janitor a 'custodian", we call it (*&%$#$#%^^&* in the pocket book

I could never figure that out .... the big oil tankers arrive in the bay area and they process it all right there into gas (richmond) and up here about 140 miles above the city it is always 30 cents a gallon cheaper than SF... I dont get it!

 

Last I looked, it was 3.12 or 3.13 a gallon, depending where you go.

 

Alright Fannie, stop playing around...........that's $1.22 per LITRE right?

 

lol, this thread is killing me, here in the uk, we are paying up to £1.45 per litre for unlead so at the best its £1.38, so a gallon is £5.60ish derv can be dearer,and our road tax on top of that ,i got a mercedes 220 cdi estate, the road tax is £245 per year, i get between 40 to 45 to the gallon, i know of others who get 50+ i dont like hanging around lol, so a gallon here cost around $8, o joy lol

 

At 8 bucks a gallon I would have to drive my wagon considerably less than I already do!

 

GASOLINE with 10% or more corn juice is around $3.35 a GALLON in beautiful downtown Chiefland and Gainesville today. I've never bought a liter of anything I can't drink and don't remember going to a PETROL establishment in the midwest or south.
Yall understand? Fill'er up with regular boy..and check the earl!

 

I grew up working in my dad's gas station. I was the "boy".

 

-----Me too! CLARK SUPER 100. Checked oil, water, tires, and washed the windows...for 50 cents an hour! Only sold 100 octain at around 34.9 unless there was a gas war. That included Green Stamps and a free glass with every 10 gallons. We said "thank you sir or ma'am" and smiled a lot!
Now I pump my own for over $3 and stand and wait for the owner sell lotto tickets and beer!.

 

You must be a youngster. I remember for sure that I pumped gas at 19 cents a gallon. I remember when it was cheaper than that when I was a little kid but don't remember pumping it at the cheaper prices. You got 50 cents an hour?!?!

 

Yep 50 cents an hour---after paying uniform rental and adding machine rental.
I remember many times gas was 19.9 but never any cheaper.
Probably was but I spent my younger years watchin those colored balls bouncin inside the Shell pumps.

 

You are talking a time when I was in my teens, I think. I started pumping gas around 8 or 9 years old, IIRC. I do remember my dad pumping gas out of the old hand pumps with the glass reservoirs.

 

Gas was about 35 cents a gallon when I started in the full service Gulf station in 1971. We had a busy one, 100,000 gallons month, car wash, full mechanic service/repair. Great place to learn about cars. Think I made 1.75 to start??
