Cheapest Gas
I'm 25 miles south of Washington DC. Normally high prices, but free market must be working. 94.9 for 87 Octane, Thursday specials of 99.9 for the high-test stuff (I don't use it, so I don't recall the octane); other than Thursday, you gotta pay 1.069; but that still sounds cheaper than a lot of you guys.
Damn, and me with no place to drive to. :-)

Yo, fellas, I assume your all talking per gallon. Try 64.5/ltr up here in Saskatchewan (lets see -- at approx. 5 ltrs /gallon that's.......way too much!)And yes this is the lowest its been in years. It has been as high as 84.7 earlier this year. Diesel and propane just pennies less. At least we can afford it....just!

Ha, Ha, Ha, Gues what. Just across the border into Mexico in Reynosa ( wich is were I live )the price is arround 5.06 pesos per litter, that makes 18.975 pesos a gallon or 2.02 Dollars per gallon. And being Mexico a big oil producer it should be cheaper.
Thank god we have a bridge to go across and fill out in U.S.

Isn't there 3.785 Litres in a gallon? Not 5? You also gotta consider the exchange rate though...$1.00 U.S. is roughly $1.65 Canadian right now. So where we used to pay $0.99 here near Boston 2 summers ago, you would be paying $1.65/gallon, assuming the cost of gas was the same everywhere which I know it isn't. or $0.434/Litre...But the point being where you would spend $1.65 two summers ago, it would be $1.00 U.S., and not as high as it really seems to everyone living in the states...please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong, I will be the first to admit I'm wrong when someone proves me otherwise, but after several trips to Kitchener, Ontario and up to St. John, NS and St. John's, NF, I've gotten used to the exchange rate, and though it seems awesome to get $1.65 Canadian for every U.S. Dollar you exchange, the prices are relatively similar in cost, they just appear more in Canada.

When I used to go to Tiajuana, if I absolutely HAD to buy "PEMEX" I also bought one other thing -
A quart of "Alcohol Puro De Cana" from a liquor store...
And the reason was to put it in the tank to bring the octane up!
The octane I experienced in Mexico would make an engine knock louder than a Jehovah Witness at the door...
Mexican gas tends to have a high sulphur content also, which can break down into sulphuric acid - the last thing you want in your engine....
So if you DO go to S.A., bring your own gas, mano
