Dunno, it seems irresponsible to drive a large truck when you don't really need it.

I don't know about the H2 or H3, but the H1 has always had a diesel. Doesn't really matter though, at least around here, diesel is more expensive than premium.

The prices around St. Louis are in the $2.25 area.

$2.55

I pay about $1.22 US (that's $2.45 in my currency) for a litre, I'm thinking of getting a Bic and ride to places that are two or three miles away. But yeah gas prices are getting a bit to high and it might rise to $1.50 US down here.

Happydude · 07-12-2005, 02:53 PM

how many litres are in a galon anyway?

fingersman · 07-12-2005, 04:30 PM

About 2 or 3 litres make a gallon I think, but I could be wrong.

1 Gallon = 3.79 Litres

1.22 X 3.79 = $4.62 US dollars for a Gallon of gas for fingersman

And I thought I had it bad. You're paying double of what I'm paying.

My Prelude SH only takes 93 octane and I pay up to $2.80 per 9/10's...

last month I could fill it up for $25 now, it takes $30 give or take.

gekko · 07-13-2005, 03:01 PM

How does a Prelude take 93?

MuGen · 07-13-2005, 03:35 PM

I dunno if I'm supposed to know the answer to that but the user manual said that it should be filled with 91 or higher octane, and the gas stations here supply 87 regular to 89 plus to 93 super.

Stonecutter · 07-13-2005, 03:45 PM

Today in Cook County it's 2.45/2.55/2.65 for 87/89/93.

I would strongly support additional 25 cent per gallon tax on 93 octane. I would also love to see a progressive rate on gas so that you pay more when buying more. It's time to seriously ****hammer these dopes driving their SUVs running on prem'o with their 30 gallon tanks. Just wait till world wide production peaks in the next 10 years or so, then the fit is really gonna hit the shan.

Prices in germany were in the 1.20 Euro/Liter range so that's like what? $6 US a gallon?

MuGen · 07-13-2005, 04:43 PM

I don't drive an SUV and your gonna stick a tax on me cuz my prelude gets 93? There should only be a tax for bigger tank cars.

Yeah! What the hell is up with that? Diesel was always cheaper than Gas and it's less refined.

Bond · 07-13-2005, 06:26 PM

I was thinking the exact samething. Anyone have an answer? If not I could go try to look it up...
