Gas prices where you are 01-12-2026

[Bumblebee]

Our regular 91 just went from $2.47 a liter to $2.59 at my local discount fuel station.
But once a week they have 24 hours of ‘discounted’ fuel… about 10% off the price.
So You pay NZD$6.56 per gallon regular. and I pay NZD$10.32 per gallon 91 regular.
But to get that in perspective I get $590 a week on the pension ( over 65 years) and employed mechanics average $40 per hour before tax and contracting self employed mechanics charge $60 an hour, workshops charge customers around $120 an hour plus 15% tax.
Good thing is it’s kosher to keep earning and working AND collect the pension, we just have to pay secondary tax rate on the earnings ( pension is already taxed and classed as primary tax.)
So when I retired, started receiving the pension, ( we call it national super annuation here) and carried on working and earning, it was like getting an extra $15 an hour on top of my pay rate!

Tell me, do you guys use the US gallon or the Imperial gallon in Canada?
The US gallon being 4 liters ( 4 quarts)
In NZ we use the Imperial gallon ( 4.54 liters) but in reality we always just measure everything in liters here, the gallon is a thing of the past since we switched to metric back in the late 60’s.

That's expensive for sure.........the biggest difference is our winter weather where we burn more fuel and the distances we travel.....many of our medical specialists are over 2 hrs away...

We use liters and it's 3.8 liters to one US gallon.....we too have switched to the metric system in the '70s but I can use both....

The war on Iran is reason for price increases, not to mention oil companies look for any reason to justify a price increase

[wolf1327]

5.49 for regular and diesel was over $6.20 in the Bay Area of California.

Your fuel prices are very close to what NZ prices are… and yet look at shipping distances to NZ in relation to the UK.
But I’ve noticed UK fuel prices have always beeb higher, and I thought our taxes were high . . . They are, but yours are higher!

as more EV get introduced and the petrol/diesel fuel is reduced which means less tax

most governments favour tax per mile on your driving

i wish we were close to NZ prices £1.14 is your , but we don't have 91 in UK , only 95 or 98/99 premium

your state pension is also 7% above UK

[Bumblebee]

I just went by a gas station this morning.....$1.83 a liter for regular....that's $6.95 for a US gallon.....

Crazy.......

[mark3evo]

We are self sufficient. But prefer to buy oil on the open market. I too hope Trump quickly finishes what he needs to. What bothers me is how the market prices don't reflect actual shortages. Only "future" prices. We overpay now for what will be in the future.

Diesel has been higher than gasoline here for years......as ridiculous as that sounds....

Yeah it's ridiculous that Diesel is higher than automotive fuels. Diesel is a much less processed product.

And all the commodities that are moved by diesel that drives prices of almost everything up.....

A few years ago the main rail way was removed and the land sold off so that meant everything is now moved by truck, which tripled the amount of semi trucks on the local highway........which is both causing more accidents and wrecking the highway....

I had to fill the truck up with Diesel yesterday and I started thinking about riding the bike into work even while the temps are still in the 40's and 50's in the mornings.

I was talking to a fellow who is in the know and he said that e-bike sales are climbing right now.....no license, insurance and fairly decently priced...

I told him to not hold his breath to see one in my driveway any time soon....

[mabupa]

I filled the Tacoma this morning and it was $4.19 a gallon for 89 octane. I’m about to start riding the Dr650 to work. Lol

Everybody has their preference. I just run the low grade stuff myself without any problems. I'm not a dragger or knee dragger either.

Now they are wanting to release our oil reserves & when those are depleted , the prices will skyrocket higher than ten bucks *

And today "supposedly" Trump is now asking other countries to send ships to help at the straits.

If in fact he said this:

Umm sorry you wanted this, now handle it on our own. Or get out. You didn't ask them to start this. Don't ask for help now.
